I love my watch it keeps me updated with how much sleep I've had. How many calories I've I taken and my heart beat every second . I only take my watch off to shower and charge, and I dont know why because the beat part is its water proof. I'm always alerted when I have an email, or messages.

I was hesitant to change my watch for one of these but NOW...I am on my 2nd one and I really love it.
It gives me health readings, prompts me to get up and move and still get to see all my calls Plus I can respond directly on the device!
I wear even when I am not a work to see all the health information!
Price also made me purchase this one!!!

After owning two Garmin wearable devices, this Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro is awesome! It has an amazing screen, you can read email and text messages on it. Battery life is a little disappointing, but the performance is worth the bother and the device just sits on the charger.

I like this style better than the s2. You can only text several responses vs the s2 where u could use the whole keyboard to text back. The battery doesn't last long either as stated.

I liked this tracker, it's easy to read and manage. However, it is a little bulky and I tend to bump it on things. I've cracked it at one point. It is waterproof!

I purchased the original Gear fit 2 a few years ago. I love everything it did, but the wristbands would fall off sometimes and after 2 years eventually came separated from the electronic part.
So, I decided to try out this Gear Fit 2 Pro. I've owned it for about 7 months now, wanted to make sure it had ample use before I left a review. They made a ton of improvements. The wristband now buckles and is very comfortable, it tracks everything more accurately, has more face options. The bonus on this one is that the battery lasts twice as long. I can wear it for 24 hours and not worry about it dying. I have people ask me about it all of the time. I'm super happy with my purchase.

Water Damage from Washing Hands

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
DON'T get WET. Supposedly water resistant, but when it stops working after you wash your hands, don't expect Samsung to repair it. What a joke. RESEARCH this issue before deciding to buy, plenty of other people with the same story. It is such a shame because my wife loved this product, we are avid Samsung phone users, have an expensive Samsung fridge. We stuck with them through the exploding phones/washing machines. However we are done with Samsung after they refused to repair replace this Samsung Gear Fit 2 watch for water damage, when it had never even been submerged. Never even swam with it on. Hard to trust their Water resistant ratings on any of their products after this.
So no more Samsung phones, Fridges, Washers/Dryers for us. No more using Samsung Pay everywhere we go, bye bye Samsung. #GoneForLife. Such a shame, never felt so ripped of before. We will be escalating with Best Buy, and the Credit Card company used to purchase.

Doesn't accurately track steps and keeps stopping my walking time when I am walking. You can see in the two pictures the difference between my steps my phone tracking vs my watch from my morning walk. I have tried reseting it and other settings and trouble shooting, but it still is not working properly. My old Fitbit worked better. So frustrated as I typically like Samsung and have had a great experience with their products. I am soo disappointed this watch has been a waste.

A great watch while it was working, but a year and a week later I can't recharge it because their back contacts has been damaged, they've desapear, so they don't make contact with the charger any more. Samsung hasn't got an answer for that, so I've threw my bucks to the trash. I'll never buy other Samsung watch again.

I originally went to buy a Fitbit Alta but liked the features on this watch far better. It was the best decision I could have made. I use it with MyFitnessPal and love the reminders when I have been inactive for too long. Also, I love that I can read text, e-mail, and even view incoming caller ID.

I've had this now for several months and I really love it. It tracks so much more than my old Fitbits did, with a lot more options. Having the music right on it makes going to the gym so much easier. I don't have to carry an ipod around with me. I use it to time my intervals, and I like the voice updates telling me I'm halfway to goal, or almost there. You can turn them off if you don't like the interruptions. I like having the weather right there, and a lot of metrics easily tracked. I also like that I can see who is calling or texting me, and send a quick pre-programmed response without stopping my workout. When at the gym sometimes I'm too far from the locker for it to work, but a quick walk past the locker room picks up anything missed.
Cons would be the battery sucks. All prior reviews saying that are dead on. With heavy usage I only get about a day and a half. However, it charges really fast. I put it on the charger when I take a shower, or am standing at the bathroom sink getting ready in the morning, and it's charged when I'm done. The only other con is it runs with several apps linked, where Fitbit just has 1 app that does everything. I'd rather have it all in one place, but it was a small thing to get used to and not a deal breaker for me. The sleek design is much better than the smart watches that are just huge and square and I have no need for half of what they do. It's winter, so I haven't used mine to swim yet, but I've showered in it no problem. Overall, I recommend as long as you don't mind popping it on the charger once a day you'll be fine. It does much more than my fitbits ever did, and addresses a lot of things I felt they lacked. I'm really happy with it.

I needed this for a water aerobics class and to increase my steps each day. It has far surpassed my expectations now that I have the proper apps to receive full benefits of what this Samsung is capable of doing, I never miss a call or message now either if I can't get to my phone. Love it!

Good watch but gear fit 2 battery life is better. 2 pro if HR isn't on auto it won't track fitness automatically. Rcv'ng text and other notifications drains the battery too. You must edit your notifications allowed from Gear app settings on phone. I charge 2 Pro daily while showering or doing dishes. Im questioning whether it can go 36 hrs without charge. Why put extra responsibility on the watch if the battery can't handle the activity?

Originally I bought the FitBit Charge 3, but after just one week of having it, decided I wanted something with more features and a better interface. I looked at the latest high-end smart watches from Apple, Samsung, etc. but the price points were beyond what I wanted to spend. The Gear Fit2 Pro is a very good balance between those two ends of the spectrum. It tracks a variety of activities, has smart watch aspects, like getting text and email alerts that you can answer from the watch, and also has a wide range of apps, including weather. The comfort is close to the FitBit Charge 3 (which is the most comfortable fitness tracker I've ever had) and has similar aesthetics. The more I wear it, the happier I am I didn't get a bulky, expensive smart watch instead. One drawback is that it pretty much has to be charged every day, but then, so does my phone, so it's a minor inconvenience.

Great smartwatch. Just keep the wifi off or the battery will last just hours. With the wifi off the battery will last 2+- days.
