Any Samsung Gear S3 users out there?

I am considering purchasing a Samsung Gear S3 from ATT (LTE variant) but have no idea how it handles international travel. Does anybody use one? Does it exhibit any functionality challenges with international travel?

I'll be able to answer this in about 10 days, although not for the LTE version

Not sure about a US model, in terms of radio, but functionally fine. Some modern apps are a little slow on my former (now Dad's) S3.

I think you're referring to the Samsung S3 smartphone, not the Gear S3 smart watch.

To the OP: I've had the non-LTE (BT only) Frontier model since early November and I love it. There have been a couple of times where it would have been nice to go untethered, but I usually have my phone with me anyway so it's rarely an issue.

Oops. Yes indeed. There's a lesson (for me) there.

I just want to say that I was able to buy a Gear Fit2 for $85, and I love it.
