A:AnswerYou don't need a smartphone or computer to program it but the apps, Galaxy Wearable and Samsung Health are necessary to get full use of it. The watch itself keeps track of steps, heart rate, stress, and sleep. With the apps you can change watch faces for the info you want at a glance and watch for trends as you use the watch.
A:AnswerI am using the Galaxy Fit with the app installed on my Galaxy 6 and it is working fine. I would check and see what the app says. The connection does want me to have my bluetooth on the phone turned on. If you want it to track your walks,runs,workouts, you will need to turn on location on your phone.
A:AnswerI don't think the galaxy fit measure the blood pressure. The Samsung health app sync with the Samsung Galaxy fit had section for you to manually enter the blood pressure. I hope this help.
A:AnswerYes, it does sync once you setup the app and add the tracker, Samsung health app provides stats, tracking history and trends. Also need Galaxy Wear app to change the display.
A:AnswerThe device itself is fully made of plastic and the band is made of pretty strong silicone. I play golf 5 days a week wearing it and I work outdoors and this it held up very very well with no issues at all.
A:Answerit will track your overall movement to sense your level of sleep but it doesn't automatically record the hand movement of exercises like weight lifting and normal movement doesn't cause it to think you're walk walking. When I first got it, it thought some stationary activity was cycling but it only made that mistake once.
A:AnswerHello Jacko4355, thanks for asking! You cannot make or answer calls directly on your watch unless it has a built-in mic and speaker like the Galaxy Watch Active2, Galaxy Watch, and Gear S3. Calls can only be rejected with a Galaxy Fit. ^Elizabeth
A:AnswerHello Josh, thanks for asking! All you need to do is connect Bluetooth headphones. Simply add and remove tracks to build the perfect playlist! If you prefer streaming, you can do that too with a Spotify premium account. ^Elizabeth
A:AnswerYes its syncs up and works perfectly with iPhones. Does work better with Samsung devices though due to the galaxy wear app that give you more customizability.
A:AnswerMy wife wears it, and she states that she receives the normal notifications, from her phone (Note 8). She also has it set to vibrate, when she receives the alerts. I bought this watch to replace her previous Fit. She had an older model, which still worked, but stopped receiving notification. Regardless of what we did, factory reset, hard reset, suggestions from the internet. Nothing would fix the older Galaxy watch.
