Samsung - Gear Fit Fitness Watch + Heart Rate - Black

I used to have the Fitbit One & used apps on my phone to track my running /training. After losing the fitbit I did a lot of research & this was my best option for what I needed. It isn't too big (I was concerned because I have small wrists), and can be worn with dressy or casual outfits (some of the sports GPS watches I wouldn't be able to)... It tracks GPS even without my phone's GPS being on. I love being able to see texts or who is calling without taking out my phone & to send quick responses back from the Gear Fit. I tested the HR capabilities of it by wearing my chest strap that detects apical pulse & the watch on one wrist and the Gear Fit on the other, and the heart rate was almost spot on. The gear fit gave the same # a few seconds after the chest strap but that is to be expected since it is reading your pulse peripherally and not directly over your heart. The only thing that I don't like as well as the old school fitbit one is that I don't feel that it tracks my steps as well as a pedometer worn on your hip (Idon't always swing my arms with my steps - for example if I'm pushing a lawnmower or shopping cart or if I"m carrying something- but that's not a problem for when I'm running). Overall, I feel like I chose the best product out there for my needs!

I love it, I use the timer feature all the time, for cooking or just when I manually water my back yard grass, the pedometer feature is awesome, this keeps me walking more which I really needed also when i'm doing something in a different room it notifies me when I have a phone call or message on my iphone, lots of great features on this watch!

I love my Gear Fit! My main exercise is walking, so it works great for tracking that, I take a medicine that affects my heart rate, so I like that I can use this to check it anytime. I also love that it has some cool smart watch features like the ability to read texts, see who's calling and reject the call with a brief preset message, check the time and temperature, locate my phone, and get other notifications. The silent alarm is nice, just wish it worked independently of the phone. I also like that I can customize the look with different bands and changing the background on the screen or the clock face, and that I can set the display to vertical. The safety feature is cool. Thankfully I haven't HAD to use it, but when I tested it, it worked flawlessly, notifying my selected contacts that I needed help and providing a link to google maps showing my location. Battery life is good and the screen is bright and easy to read in almost all lighting conditions. Bright sunlight makes it a little more difficult, but not impossible. The only reasons I didn't give this 5 stars are as follows: The aforementioned lack of an alarm that works independently of the phone. I don't care for the design of the band closure being two pegs that go into holes. It seems fairly secure under most conditions, but I HAVE at times bumped the strap on something while moving and had 1 of the 2 prongs pop out of the hole. I bought some aftermarket clasp keepers to help secure my investment so it hasn't ever actually fallen off, but a typical watch buckle closure would be a definite improvement. The charging cradle is a bit difficult to clip onto the device. I'd like to see more than one watch face option that includes the weather. Samsung should offer more bands to customize this product, although if they do, I'd hope they'd give them the watch buckle I mentioned before. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase!

Purchased the Fit based on the compatibility with my Samsung Galaxy 5 Active. Happy with Battery life, function of the heart rate monitor, the pedometer, notification function, media control and sleep monitor. Wish there were more options for “exercise” but I understand the function is based on the pedometer and the S Health App since the only options there are run/walk/cycle/hike. This isn’t about S Health so back to the Fit. I like the look and have received lots of compliments and I like that you can change the appearance and even use a photo as your screen. Now the issues, you have to get a screen protector and FAST, not a big deal but don’t be cheap you will scratch the heck out of it pretty quick. The connector/latch device is not enough for me to feel safe I just knew this was going to fall off my wrist and there are really no accessories at BB so I used amazon and bought some silicon bands to secure the strap (I ordered the screen protector and another watch band because lets be real the boring black one gets old). I really wish there was an additional clip devise so I could attach to my show, pocket for those days you don’t want to wear a bulky watch. Overall I am happy with the product.

I was enjoying this product for the first month. Then it had a rebooting problem. It resolved when I turned it off and left it off for an hour and then turned it on. I have the problem again and have turned it off and on 3 times and it still won't start. My cellphone says it is not Connected. I'm looking for some help on the Internet. I can't recommend it at this time.

I got the Gear Fit so I could keep track of how much I run while reffing soccer games. It has been extremely useful while I'm out on the pitch. I use it daily and really enjoy keeping track of my steps/fitness. MUST have S Health to get full use of the watch. Pros: Keeps track of heart rate Top speed (S Health) Average pace (S Health) & others, just to long to list!! Total steps, even if you choose an exercise. Sleep monitor Help to find your device Customization Great battery time. Receive texts Cons: Learning to use in the beginning. Make sure to change your "Screen Timeout" before starting. Bluetooth is good, but can effect the routine your currently in if it loses connection.

I really like this product,is very helpful with my walking habits and also keep me conect it with my phone when I'm working.

This is a good product. This great for those that want to be proactive about their health with a minimal investment in a wearable monitoring device. I bought this for my wife to ease her into being mindful of activity. As I bought a Gear S for myself. She enjoys this because it keeps her up to date on her steps, water consumption, emails ect. She also enjoys the ability to change the screen to something that matches to what she is wearing.
