Samsung - Geek Squad Certified Refurbished Gear Fit2 Fitness Watch + Heart Rate (Large) - Black

I got no way to make this work without drivers for connect it to the computer and I got no instructions or a receipt. Most unprofessional best buy has ever been do me and I've been going for 17 years. Extremely disappointed, I spent $1,300 on my desktop I bought 2 years ago when best buy cared about their customers. I am pretty disappointed.... I bought this for my father and I don't know much about fitbits but I am a configuration Technician for the past 12 years and this is the most disappointed I've ever got something from any best buy. I want a refund. It was a 179.99 dollar disappointment. I wouldn't even be able to return it because it came with nothing!!!!!

I wanted to answer a few questions that I had when I was researching this product. Since it's refurbished, you most likely will not get the manual but those are easily found online. The app that is used with this "watch" is Samsung Gear. It syncs with your Samsung Health app and backs up with your Samsung account. It can be used with iPhone but why buy a Samsung product when you have an Apple phone?? Doesn't make sense to me to do that. Anyway, it came with an 85% charge and as soon as I downloaded the Gear app, it was set up & working within 5 minutes. You get all the same notifications as you do on your phone but you can only reply to texts and phone calls using pre-made answers which you can change yourself - not one person wrote a review regarding how you CAN change the auto responses so that's nice. The alarm/timer from your phone works on the watch as well so that's super helpful. The only thing is you can't go too far away from your phone. For instance, if you are exercising, you would still need to have your phone near you (won't work if you leave it at home). The display has quite a few screen designs that are pretty cute. I haven't tried it, but it also holds a good amount of music but you have to use bluetooth ear buds to hear the music. Also, for sizing, I measured my wrist before buying the "large" but it's pretty big still, I have it on the tightest possible. Anyway, I hope this helps someone that had certain questions like I did. BTW, I definitely think the refurbished is a good deal - just buy the GeekSquad protection plan and they will replace it no matter what. Saves a lot of $$$ in the end :)

PROS: -has the three main things i searched for in a watch. pedometer, heart rate, and stopwatch -good for the money i paid (refurbished, rewards money, and work reimbursed some) -can turn the auto screen when you flick your wrist off and turn down the screen brightness to make the battery last longer -when the battery gets to low you can put it on battery saver and it lasts all day until you can get home to charge it -fast charge (maybe an hour) -good/ lots of things it tracks and you can enter in your own info -call and text notifications CONS: -have to wear it above the wrist bone for the heart rate monitor and its a really awkward spot -have to turn off the auto screen because it would turn on with small wrist flicks -i didnt buy for call/ text notifications. i like that i get notifications but the options for texting back are really limited and you have to be near your phone. not the watch for you if this is something you really want. -sleep tracking isnt as good as i wanted but still better then my last pedometer very good watch for the bare basics. its very easy to use and figure out without a manual. would recommend if you can get refurbished or really good deal. original price is $180 and i personally dont think its worth over $100.

This refurbished item appeared to be brand new when I took it out the box. No visible signs of wear at all. Screen was brand new, band looked brand new. Great features on device. Takes a while to get used to everything, I didn't look at a manual but gradually figured everything out. The colors are amazing! You can read your notifications like texts or calls (reading texts is nice on this device because you can scroll and read full messages unlike other devices). Or you can also choose to ignore notifications (which is good when you don't want to be distracted during a workout). You can change to many different faces, which is a cool feature. Sleep monitoring is a great feature, it's beneficial to be able to see how much sleep you're getting. The only draw back is the HR does not work! It reads 67 all the time and the green light periodically blinks. Considering I paid about half for what it would normally cost and everything else works... I think it's worth it. That's the risk of buying refurbished, there might be some kind of defect but if you can live without the defect.. then why not get it... I end up changing trackers about once a year so I ain't worried. One other thing is I find I have to charge it almost everyday... but makes sense with the color display.

First of all, it doesn't look like a clock strapped to my wrist. It is small and sleek enough for a woman, and even some of the watch faces are feminine. I was not as interested in the fitness-tracking capabilities as I was in being notified of emails, texts, and phone calls. This watch fills the bill--but I've also learned to love it as a fitness tracker. It automatically starts timing as I walk (since I often forget to start it) and keeps track of time and distance. The one thing I had to do immediately was change the band to one that wouldn't fall off my wrist, but there are third-party sellers of inexpensive but good bands, and the band is easy to change. That's why I gave the watch only four stars. Even though the watch is billed as more of a fitness tracker than a smart watch, it's really both of those things. I'm definitely very glad that this is the one I chose.

Brought it for my wife 1) Packing was really good and huge, i was surprised to see it came in a big package where a set of boot can fit into... 2) Inside that there was a small box with the watch and the charger, thats all. Nothing else like warranty or manual / guide etc.... 3) my wife loved the color and the watch... it just served the purpose. She have iphone 6 and it got connected very easily, just need to install the Gear app and switch on the Bluetooth, hassle free setup.

This was a Certified Refurb. Geek approved item. It felt and looked brand new when i received it. I returned the watch because a day after I received it, the Fitbit Ionic was announced. I had the Blaze and it was my favorite of all the trackers. The GearFit2 was my second favorite because of the ability to use it in the pool for hydro-running. The Samsung software is seamless and never a glitch to connect. Fitbit will required 2 syncs 30% of the time for me. Because of the efficiency of the GearFit2, I'm trying out the GearS3. It's on the heavy side and may prove to be TOO ANNOYING for the various workouts I do. We'll see. But the GearFit2 is a great deal for the Refurb. at $95.

I bought this after my fiitbit blaze died. I must say just taking the watch/fitness tracker into account I prefer it. The large screen makes it easier to read texts or notifications when exercising. I like that it has a built in GPS and storage for music so I don't have to have my phone with me while out on a run. Another feature I like about the gear fit2 vs the blaze really stands out when sleeping. I would inadvertently turn the blaze on as it was easy to accidentally press one of the buttons. When you did on the blaze I would have to hold my hand over the screen until it turned off, the gear fit2 I hardly ever accidentally turn the screen on but when you do placing your hand over the screen turns off the screen. The integration with the IPhone isn't the best and the instructions to set it up don't tell you how to do much. For instance when trying to load music onto the watch they were not making snece as they are assuming you have an android. I finally found instructions on how to load from a PC(there is no directly loading music from the iphone)said to press the triangle at the bottom of the music app and use the music manager app on the pc. Well there wasn't a triangle at the bottom on the music app and I could find no place that I could download the music manager app. I figured ok I need to update the firmware possibly to get the triange at least. After looking on how to do that it instructs you do it through the app which is correct as long as you don't have an iPhone. If you have an iPhone you have to on the watch itself connect to the wifi then go into settings scroll down to gear info and choose update gear software. After it downloaded and rebooted I had the triangle which had an option for gear music manager. When I selected that it walked me through connecting a pc to the same network and using a web browser to access the music manager on the watch itself. So while I greatly prefer the watch to the blaze the integration leaves a lot to be desired unless you are running an android.
