The Samsung Galaxy Gear Fit is a cross between a fitness tracker and a smart phone.

I am happy with the Fit. When paired with the health app on my Galaxy S5 Active, it meets every requirement I was looking for in a device like this. So many more options for the price than any other comparable device.
I ended up returning it --- and getting the Gear S2

I loved the potential that the Gear Fit had: Lightweight, non-obtrusive design, clear screen, long battery life, etc. It has such a good possibility of being so much better. However, in practice and in day-to-day usage, it failed to meet expectations. The app marketplace is pretty miniscule. It's like the developers skipped right over the opportunity of the Gear Fit in favor of the sexier Gear S2 or other smartwatches. The pedometer and heart rate monitors were also a bit inaccurate, leading to having this device be significantly off from my Note 4. Annoying.
All in all, I liked the watch at first glance, but ended up returning it in favor of a Gear S2.
The Gear Fit Sports watch is a must have for anyone who wants to track their busy life. The display is really easy to navigate and read. So far very happy with my Christmas present.
I got the gear fit and when I got it I let my wife have it thinking she wouldn't want it, but she hasn't given it up and loves the flexibility with it when exercising.
I really enjoy my gear fit and hope that I will be able to update my rating. At this time my Gear fit is on its way to Samsung repair. My gear fit is missing some functions alough the firmware is up to date. I would like to believe that I am the only one experiencing this but my daughter who also got a Gear fit for Christmas (both were ordered directly from Samsung) is experiencing the same problems.
