Basically there is not too much differences between the two watches, accept for the bettery life, which is apparently better in the new Galaxy watch.

When the download has finished, the App will start transferring the software to the watch. and once it’s finished transferring the file it’ll ask you to click install.

Notes:
1- Before starting this process, make sure that the battery power in Gear watch S3 is 80% or above.

2- This update should not effect your personal data in your watch, but it’s a good idea to do a backup in case.

Click install and it’ll pop up a message on the watch saying that the watch will restart, and then you should see the progress going on screen showing you the percentage.

It may take about 5 minutes to finish, so be patient…
Once it’s done, it will restart again and continue finalizing the update and showing you the percentage on the screen.

Wait until 100% and it may restart again, but this time it should show the logo and then go straight to the watch face.

And if you want to check if the update was successfully installed, go setting – General – About watch – software, and you should see Tizen 4.0.0.2 version.

These are the correct steps of how to update your software on your new Galaxy gear s3 or Gears 3 frontier. ”I hope this was helpful to you”
