Customer Ratings & Reviews

Did not like it much. Too small for my wrist. It depends on everyone's preference.

Returned this watch, didn’t seem very accurate with steps or heart rate

Works well except for the “weather widget.” Can live without that function.

It's just ok band. At the same price range or less there're better options.

I bought the Galaxy Fit 2 in hopes that it would work well with my iPhone. However, I couldn't get it to pair with my device. Before purchasing this product, I had done extensive research to make sure that it was compatible with IOS. That being said, no where did it state that the Galaxy Fit isn't compatible with iPhone 6s (or iPhone 6s+), and is only supported by iPhone 7 and later models. I checked the Samsung website and the instruction booklet that came with the smart watch and neither mentioned anything about being compatible with IOS whatsoever. I had to find this out through a forum posted by a user who was suffering with the same issues as I was. It's safe to say that I am very disappointed, I couldn't even get the watch to turn on because I had to pair it up first. I am sending it back and purchasing something else.

It's OK...I don't know if I recommend it for someone else to buy

Does not sync with Samsung phone correctly. Missed notifications

I like the look of this watch. But i think i am more use to the Galaxy 2 watch. This watch does not stay no well, it felll off several times while working out. The displays screen is small and hard to manage. I would probably look i to other fittness watchs soon.

Average fit band with advanced fitness trackers built in.

My review comes from a different perspective. When I decided to try the Fit2, what I was really wanting was not a fitness tracker, but a smartwatch. It could be said that a smartwatch is a watch that tells more than the time and date, with alarm, stopwatch and timer functions – most chronographs available at big-box or department stores sell those, and those will always be around. And in some circles, a smartwatch also allows some degree of customization and even has downloadable apps. The vast majority of smartwatches available now do not support downloadable apps – with the exception of the Apple Watch and a small cadre of Android watches (from makers like Fossil), that ship has largely sailed. The app that’s been the most of interest for customers of smartwatches today seems to be fitness tracking – everything from measuring distance, GPS, sleep, stress, heart rate, and more. So fitness trackers are the current generation of “smart” wearable devices. The Fit2 is a pretty smart watch, and in some unconventional ways I hadn’t expected when I bought it. You cannot install downloaded apps for the Fit2, so all the content is pretty much fixed. But the Fit2 does have a nice array of features you’d find on many other smartwatches of today – among them a bright, crisp AMOLED display (one of the biggest things I was wanting), but also the thing that sets this device apart from others – an eye-popping (claimed) 14 days of battery life. I am coming from the Pebble Time smartwatch platform. I would not be surprised if you hadn’t heard of the Pebble line of watches. Several years ago, the Pebble had the largest Kickstarter campaign ever, raising tens of millions of dollars on a watch based on e-ink technology, the same stuff that powers e-reader devices like the Kindle and the portable Nook Reader. The Pebble devices all claimed longer battery life based on that e-ink display and delivered several days’ usage, which far exceeded devices like the Apple Watch, which get you 18 to 24 hours at most. I also felt the e-ink display looked dull – colors didn’t pop, and while there was a backlight, it made the display look even duller. I had a Zen Watch 2 from Asus in prior years and loved the AMOLED display on that device, so I was seeking a similar type of display and found it on the Fit2. The Fit2 has, so far, delivered in multiples on those two wishes – the AMOLED display and the long battery life. The display is a vertically positioned one to work with the slender wristband design, and is wonderfully bright and colorful. But even more remarkable is I’m still working on the first initial charge of the device since I bought it. I set the display to show battery percentage (you can choose different items to go with the time) and it’s at 72 percent as I write this. It was at 100 percent when I woke up on Nov. 24 and the battery meter had barely budged by the time I went to bed. So it’s been 4 days since my last charge and just over a third of the battery has been depleted. My math tells me that’s about 12 days – not 14 days, but still far better than any other device out there. And, of course, you can change settings to extend your battery life like reducing the screen timeout or turning off the heart monitor. Whatever the case, to be able to get close to two weeks’ use on a smart device like this breaks the mold – Apple has a long way to go to catch the battery life on this. Speaking of which, let’s talk about price. You’re not going to be able to buy a new Apple Watch for under three figures. If your main intention is to use your smartwatch for fitness tracking, consider buying the Fit2 and pocketing the difference. The Fit2 normally sells for about a $60 street price. You can look up the Series 6 Apple Watch price for yourself, and even with the reduced price on their Series 3 line, you’re still looking at $180 – three times the price of this unit. Compared to other fitness trackers in the same price class, the Fit2 is far better. Fitbit makes a similarly styled narrow band device, but its display is monochrome, so no color. Amazfit has fitness trackers also, but it's unattractive and didn’t have the AMOLED display. And if you just look around at other devices with names like “iTouch” you may find AMOLED displays, but you probably won’t like the user interface or the feature sets. As with (I assume) other fitness trackers that talk to a companion app, your Fit2 vibrates discreetly when a notification comes in. It’s not loud, and you will feel it, so they did well on that. And let’s talk about the Fit2’s companion app, since most smartwatches require them. The Samsung platform has one app for all their devices, called Galaxy Wearable. The app is for pairing your Fit2 to your smartphone, and has a variety of different functions. Bluetooth pairing has been smooth. The Fit2 “talks” to the app, sending data on workouts and other metrics. I had already been using the Samsung Health app – a separate app – for walks, runs, and other exercise; Galaxy Wearable does a good job of sharing the information. You can use the app to check weather, set an alarm, or control notifications. At the time this review was originally written, the coronavirus pandemic was still raging on, and this app even includes a 25-second hand washing timer. Rather than downloadable apps, the Fit2 has a collection of widgets you can station on the device. They are Health Summary, Exercise, Stress, Weather, Stopwatch/Timer, Hand Wash, Calendar, Heart Rate, Music, Sleep, Steps, and Water. And you can access a full user manual from inside the app – it opens a link to a Samsung page on their web site. Also on the home screen, there’s a tab called “Watch Faces” which lets you choose a different style and layout for the time. The menu button in the upper right corner provides a couple of options. There are 12 different layouts with options for each as to what’s displayed (battery, steps, weather, etc.). It’s a nice collection of layouts if you’re not crazy about the default. A few minor disappointments about the Fit2 (because nothing’s perfect!) stood out to me. None of the watch layouts feature hour/minute/second. I like watching seconds tick away but you’re not going to be able to get it on this device. The date and day of the week are shown, but no month, and no way to customize those format changes. The band is a little strange. Most conventional wrist devices have a raised loop through which you insert the tail end of the band so it doesn’t stick out. The Fit2 chose, instead, to have a “hole” that you push the tail end of the band under. It’s adequate but I’d have preferred a conventional watch band here. Sometimes the fit isn’t as snug. When you try to stick the tail end of the band into the opening, it usually loosens the tightness “tooth”. My concern, of course, here, is I don’t want the watch loosening by itself and falling off my wrist. If there’s a Fit3, I hope Samsung fixes this. The design of the built-in stopwatch baffled me. Instead of stacking minutes, seconds and fractions of a second – which would have been logical – they chose, instead, to have all three units on one line in a teeny-tiny type face. Thankfully they didn’t choose this tiny font for the timer that runs when a workout is in progress. I hope they correct this, also, at some point. So for $50 to $60, the Samsung Galaxy Fit 2 – which only just came out in September 2020 – is a great choice for those wanting a conventional wristwatch or a fitness tracker. The companion app is excellent, the user interface design is polished, and the best part is, you won’t need to charge it very often. That makes this device a keeper for me!

The app is not user friendly and fails at delivering accurate data. many functions cease to work randomly and without warning. After countless resets and reinstalls of apps the watch is still unreliable. Having been satisfied with samsung products in the past, I really spent way more time than I should have to make this device work and now the return window has closed. One more bad tech device to add to the junk drawer.

I have tried to connect two different Samsung Galaxy Fit2s to my iPhone without success. The Galaxy Fit app cannot find the Fit2. Samsung support could not figure it out.

Bought this for my husband for Christmas. He has an Iphone 6 S with 13.7 OS. We can pair the phone with Bluetooth but not to the Galaxy App. It just does not see the watch. After numerous tries we decided this watch is not for him. Very very disappointed as it says it CAN work with Iphone and app. It does NOT. Will be returning.

Buyer Beware: if you don't have a Samsung phone or computer, you're going to have to spend extra money on an adapter or the watch will be unusable. I'm appalled that Samsung wouldn't include everything necessary to start using this watch right away. We'll likely be returning this and ordering a watch from a company that actually cares about making things easy for their customers rather than surprising them with the news that they have to give the company MORE money in order for their product to work.

I'm pretty disappointed in this watch. I expected it to be amazing at activity tracking, but it is really not. I suggest you save your money and buy something cheaper.

Purchased 12/30/20, it was working fine until yesterday(2/25/21) It hasn't even been a full two months and it totally died.(not due to low battery, as it was almost completely charged). Ive tried everything that was suggested, still nothing. I no longer have the original packaging, and I am outside of the "return window".

This product does not have an off switch or a way to be turned off not just put to sleep. Who makes an electronic product that you cannot turn off. waste of money stay away PS I usually love Samsung products and usually go for Samsung made products, but who thought no off feature would sell well. thinking of returning

Had to return this product after two days. The battery life when connected to Bluetooth is terrible. In less than an hour of use I was down 30%. Opted to purchase a fitbit.

So far I haven't been able to get this thing to work. At any level. I'm going to keep trying, and to get some help, but so far it's a bust.

Device is nice, but the Samsung health app is awful. No calorie tracking, which is literally one of the main reasons for a fitness tracker.
