As of a few days ago, Samsung has pushed out an update to their latest smartwatch, the Gear S3 Classic and Frontier. The update itself comes with new features and improvements with the firmware version being R770XXU2BQC5 (Classic) and R760XXU2BQC5 (Frontier).
The size of the update is 129.62mb which isn’t too bad considering the new features being included. Some of those features include the ability to add Date and Music compilations to select Watch faces, setting a date and time when creating S Voice reminders, Find My Device that will now display the contact information if the watch ever gets lost, and dark screen and negative color options in the Accessibility settings.
Here’s the full list of the update:
