At first glance, the watch looks really massive and large.
In fact, the watch has a thickness of 1.29 cm. Unfortunately, this is clearly noticeable when wearing short-sleeved clothing. You run the risk of hitting objects with your watch more often than with a watch of normal thickness.
However, this should support the sporty character of the Gear S3 Frontier and, of course, offer space for all the sensors and batteries.
There is a silicone bracelet which should be sufficient for most users. Less susceptible to sweat, it should last longer than a leather bracelet. Changing the bracelet is very easy. Only two small spring mechanisms have to be loosened and a new 22 mm standard bracelet can be used.

On the left side of the watch there is the speaker.
The back of the cardioid provides a clear view of the heart rate monitor with its green light-emitting diodes. This allows you to measure and display your heart rate either in intervals or permanently during training.
