I had a Fitbit for 2 years that died, and the Samsung Fit2 is SO much better! Fit2 is easier to see when outside, has better color and depth, and as a result, when swiping left and right for notifications or widgets, is very graphically pleasing.
The battery life is fantastic! After the initial charge it lasted for 22 full days!!! The only time that I didn't have watch on is when I took a shower.
I also like how extra part of the watchband is hidden inside the band.
Had no trouble syncing with Samsung Gear app, compared to the numerous problems that I had with my old Fitbit.
And the price is so much better!!!
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

I really love this band. My favorite wearable has been the Samsung Gear Fit until now, and despite trying out multiple replacements in the last few years, I always ended up returning newer, fancier watches because they just didn't make me happy. This watch is exactly what I've been looking for. It's very similar in design to the Gear Fit that I love so much but has just been gradually dying of old age. It's simple and slightly smaller, but it has SO many features. The battery life is also completely amazing, and if I use it VERY heavily I still only need to charge it about once per 10 days. I also love that I can wear it in the shower without worrying. My only (very minor) complaint is that I can not choose the background image for the watch face (which I could do on my Gear Fit). Other than that, it's perfect and is absolutely well- worth the price.

Pretty good watch/fitness tracker, however it didn't track my reps while working out. It'll track your runs/walks quite fine, just things like: curls, bench press, squats, etc. it'll just track the time and heart rate while doing it. If you aren't to technical with your workouts it'll suffice. The charger seems like it'll wear down in time due to it being a snap on, but the battery last a while so you might charge it after a week and a half maybe. I mainly use for sleep tracking/outdoor running, since I purchased the Galaxy Active 2.

Longtime activity tracker and smartwatch user here. This one hits the sweet spot for me. I'm particularly impressed with the Samsung Wear and Health software. I was expecting it to be kludgy having had Samsung phones years ago, but they've really improved things. I like the variety of watchfaces, instant switching on the band and customization of the widgets, quick panel and notifications.
I was initially disappointed that it doesn't have an ambient light sensor, but you can easily switch brightness in a couple of taps. Compared to the mess of Fitbit's app and the data overload of Garmin, I think Samsung's on the right track here. I've also had a Mi Band and their software is pretty unpolished compared to Wear and fonts on the device are way too small.
The notifications are well implemented and I like that they can turn the screen on (which Fitbit still hasn't figured out reliably). Also like that it will stay on a particular widget for a bit (couple of minutes) even after it goes to sleep, again something Fitbit doesn't do well. Music controls worked perfectly too. All in all, I think it's the best band style tracker out there!

I've only had my watch for a couple of weeks now, but so far I love it! Unlike the last brand I had (I won't say which;), this one has color! Yayyy! It also has several additional features like the ability to play music thru my phone, alerts for just about everything (text, calls, notifications, etc.), tracks sleep patterns, and the usual stuff like steps, time, date, stress level, timer, and quite a bit more. And it's like half the price of watches that do only some of these things. So yes, I'm in loveee!

I bought the Fit2 to monitor my sleep and my steps during the day. I walk almost non stop during the day, so was interested in monitoring that without having to have my phone in my pocket the whole time. This works great. Shows me how much REM and Deep sleep I get. Also, confirmed I walk WAY TOO MUCH over an 8 hour period. Anyway, I love the Fit2. I use almost all the functions and I'm happy. Don't need a $400 "watch" to do what I need. And, I found a bunch of bands with different designs.

I love this watch, the only down fall is the battery life. Mine only last about 5 to 7 days and then I need to recharge. Other than that I love the capability of responding to others via text and it vibrates with my alarm and I'm able to turn it off via watch.

Bought this for my friend who is very obese and wanted something to track his steps. He says the pedometer isn't perfect but it's close enough and gives him a good tracker for his weight loss. the HR isn't super accurate either so if you need precision with that, you might consider looking elsewhere but as far as something to generally track your fitness, this is it.

Bought this for color for my wife and I got the black model. I don't have any complaints with the function but the band is starting to turn black like it wasn't molded in this color. There are no offerings from Samsung for a replacement band and the aftermarket ones are horrible...avoid the Scarlet!

Incredible value especially if you catch it on sale! I just needed something that could control the music on my phone when going for a bike ride or skating that didn't require having to reach in my pocket for my phone, but could never bring myself to pay $300+ for an Apple Watch. I'd say this can do about half of what an Apple Watch can, but at a fraction of the cost it's more than good enough for me! I like that it has haptic feedback for notifications and also comes in handy when using the timer for my exercise intervals. I also enjoy that it is waterproof/resistant and tracks your sleep. The software is regularly updated and always improving, plus there are new watch faces added from time to time which is a plus!
Pros:
• High res and bright* display (see one con below)
• Music controller (works with iTunes, SoundCloud, etc.)
• Notifications
• Haptic feedback
• Water-resistant (see product details for more info)
• Slim design
• Comfortable
• Lightweight
• Lots of watch faces to choose from
• Good battery life (usu. lasts 3-4 days)
• Works with iOS
Cons:
• Only integrates with Samsung App (not compatible with Apple Health)
• Not the snappiest interface, scrolling through different screens is on the slow side
• Touch screen is small and requires fine motor skills to use effectively
*• No automatic display brightness sensor (have to manual adjust)
• Cannot respond to texts or any other messages

I've had almost every Samsung watch/fitness band out there. For the price point of $50 this is the most bang for the buck. It's comfortable and very light weight. I can access any app I would have with a $300 + smart watch. By far the best thing about the Fit 2 is the battery life. I charge it for about an hour once a week. And this is with all notifications on, including my work email that never stops.

This is the one size fits all fitness band. The battery lasts for days and days. This band is small but great for sleep tracking. It would great to see blood pressure reading on this band. Samsung needs to make a stronger band.

Loved it for the 2 years it lasted. Lots of watch faces to choose from. Needed it for the time and track steps. Perfect for those needs. Nothing fancy.
Can't change out the band, but never wanted to.
Recently started acting wonky after 2 years of daily use. Upgraded to Charge 5.

I bought this Galaxy Fit2 to replace my Galaxy Fit. I have had all of the Samsung Gear fits and they all worked great. This Fit 2 is nicer then all of the older versions. This has better tracking and walking features. The band is easier to put on & take off. Most of the settings are on the phone, which I like better. It is quick and easy to change the settings. After 7 days, without charging it, the battery was still at 65%. I walk a lot and I don't have to dig my phone out whenever someone calls or texts, I just look at the fit2. This fit2 does everything I want it to & it only cost $50, way cheaper then all the rest. I also bought one for my girlfriend & she never takes it off.!!!

I had to downgrade from the Galaxy Watch (latest version) as it decided to stop counting steps on me and I couldn't get it working again... So I grabbed this and it works great thankfully.
It has that "odd" straight design but is comfortable on the wrist so no worries there. I'm at the point I don't even know it's there anymore. It's very light, easy to clean, charges fast and lasts about a week on a single charge.
The only thing that bothers me is that it LOVES to tell me when I have a voicemail even though I don't have that widget enabled... No clue why yet, but other than that it works great.

I primarily use the Fit2 Smart Watch to keep track of my steps each day. However, the tracker also reminds me when I've been idle too long. The realization that I needed to be more active each day has helped me get more energized. The battery life is better than decent. I can usually go six days before recharging. For $49, I would definitely recommend this watch for the person that wants to track the number of steps, get thie digital data recorded on their phone/tablet/computer, get call alerts, outside temperature, the time, and battery life by simply looking at the watch.

I was using galaxy gear watch. It was just too big and not very comfortable. Now that I am retired I don't need the business aspects of the larger watch. I like the fit2, but sometimes it is hard to figure out what gesture it is looking for to get to the option I need. If the face was contoured to my wrist it would be less in the way too. The price is very good. Easy to join to your phone too.
