QuestionCan you place mobile calls with this device?Can you place mobile calls with this device?
- Answer You can't make calls on the GearFit. I understand you can do that with the Gear 2 watch. The gearFit does however vibrate on incoming calls and allows you to read text messages on it.
QuestionIs it an accurate pedimeter?I got the fitness band for xmas and wore it one day to track my steps but it counted more steps than I walked.
- Answer Yes, it counts steps as you take them. However, it will also pick up a lot of hand movement. That is why it is so important to wear it on your non-dominant hand. There will be significantly LESS movement coming from this hand naturally. Hope this helps!
QuestionContinuous Heart Rate?Does this device continuously tells you your heart rate or do you have to hold your finger on the device?
- Answer it reads your heart rate from your wrist. when in "exercise" mode, it monitors continuously (sort of). You have to wake the screen to show what your heart rate is. Normally you chose the mode and it will get a reading. Reading with your finger is only on your phone.
QuestionWill this device track sleep activity, including time slept and/or quality of sleep? Thanks
- Answer When you put the device in 'sleep mode' it essentially keeps track of how still you are. In the morning you will be shown how many hours/minutes you were asleep (essentially how long the device was in sleep mode), and the percentage of that time that you were lying still. this information is then stored on your phone in the S Health app. NOTE: You have to manually turn sleep mode on and off.
QuestionIs it compatible with the Samsung Note 4?

QuestionCan you go swimming with Gear Fit?I would like to know if this product is really water resistant and if anyone use it for swimming.

QuestionGear Fit - What's included (see below)Does this tracker include: - step tracking (similar to fitbit)? - website support (similar to fitbit)? - sleep tracking? - ability to interface with a WiFi scale; not a blutooth scale?
- Answer Gear Fit does track sleep accoriding to the samsung website on online demos they have posted, it also tracks steps...it says it links to third party apps but I can't find anything that specifies what those apps are.
QuestionDoes display show distance ran and time?Does the display show distance ran and time? I am a runner and need to be able to monitor my time and distance.
- Answer Look for something else. I have used this for 4 months and am a runner and it's not accurate at all. Use of a running app is much more accurate (Runtastic, MapMyRun, etc.) This watch is always off by .5 to more than a mile. I run on average 20-25 miles per week.

QuestionIs it compatible with an iPhone? Can I sync with iPhone?
- Answer No. It is a Samsung device, and only designed to work with such devices. Although there may be a way to bypass that requirement, it is not designed to do such. Do not be disappointed if it does not.

QuestionCan my gear fit sync with My fitnesess Pal ?Can my gear fit sync with My fitnesess Pal 1? Just bought the gear fit and I have Samsung 4s, is there an app to sync them?
- Answer I have all three and no, it does NOT sync with MFP. There is no app that it syncs with other than SHealth which is subpar. So many better apps out there (Runtastic for one) that this Gear Fit has been pretty useless when it comes to a fitness watch. I have had it for 4 months and am a great fan of Samsung products but this falls short of what I expected. It's almost as if it's a BETA product.
Questioncan you listen to music with this?
- Answer You can use the Media Controller on the watch to control music on your phone. You can't listen on the watch since there isn't a speaker on the it.
