Samsung - Gear Fit2 Fitness Watch + Heart Rate (Large) - Black

I recently had open heart surgery in January at age 44! I was in need of a good fitness tracker with a heart monitor, the monitor being my main reason for buying this. I looked at Fitbit, heard many complaints about skin rashes...Polar, Garmin...looked at them all...except Samsung. I go to my local Best Buy and start looking. The fitness trackers were right by the SAMSUNG display and the guy suggests the Gear Fit2. I never thought of Samsung for this! I looked at it, immediately loved the display! Very colorful and easy to read. Great features AND they said it was the best for a heart monitor. It was reasonably priced..$179.00 plus tax. I also got the 2 year protection for $30. Not bad. So, I leave the store, constantly checking my heart rate. I go to my doctor for a check up and show them. We tested it by doing it manually....I tested my rate on the watch...spot on! I was shocked! The watch is very comfortable and if you don't use the bluetooth or wifi features, you'll easily get 3 days off one charge.I usually turn on the bluetooth when I drive to get notifications without having to look at my phone. You can select how many apps you want forwarded to the watch. I didn't want a smartwatch because of the poor battery life. You can also stream music through bluetooth to the watch, then to a bluetooth headset or speaker. I've heard this will really drain the battery, but haven't tried it yet.I'm extremely happy with this product. Cool watch faces, calories burned, steps walked, it even asks you how you slept if you wear it to bed. Very cool! If you have any questions, email me and I'll be glad to help!

This has come along ways via updateds. While at 1st I disliked it due to short battery life, but with updates overtime the battery life has been well improved. The strap is terrible, eaily fixed with a replacement purchased elsewhere. I now use this for work (constructiin) and my gear fit2 pro, for after work daily use and excersise. Both work great with bluetooth earbuds for music during excersisng.

When the Samsung Galaxy S8 came out, I sold my iPhone and made the switch. The Gear Fit2 is a perfect replacement for my Apple Watch. It works flawlessly with my S8 by passing alert notifications from the phone to my wrist. I can even reply to text messages with personalized canned responses. The display is sharp and bright. I keep mine set at level 10 and can still get a solid two days of wear between charges. At the newly reduced price, I have 90% of Apple Watch functionality at a fraction of the cost.

Reviews showed great ability to perform so I gave it a try and really like the user interface. Good clear images on the screen. Great touch sensitivity. Love the fact that it gives you notification warnings and you can even read your texts in the screen. Reply are limited thought but at that point you might as well just site on phone and reply there. Battery life could be better but for the functionality I don't mind charging it every day and a half since I use it daily.

Pros - Easy to use - Good battery life - Good when you have a samsung phone - Nice design and easy to use Cons - No calendar - No speaker to talk after receiving calls - Floor climb reading is inconsistent

The gift recipient was very excited receiving this gift. It was able to sync to his Samsung galaxy s6 and provide endless apps for him to explore. It will not work for Iphones, but I have been told it will work with Samsung android phones. The price was worth every penny spent for it.

I like the sleek design and that this version keeps water log, caffeine intake, GPS and measures flights of floors. I would like the battery to last longer though.

It does everything it said it would do. I like the fact that I could change the screen and add music into it. I did further research after I bought it, and it appears there are better products out there... However, I am happy with what I've got.
