The features and Apps available for the Gearfit are amazing

I've had the Gearfit now for about a week. I previously had a cheap version of another brand and it died on me. I opted for the Gearfit because it had so many features and I had heard it synced great with the S-Health App. Since getting it, I have been so much more highly motivated to keep track of my exercise, eating habits and overall activity levels.
I've recently downloaded a couple of the apps associated with it including the camera and video app and calculator. They work great.
I was able to purchase additionally some different color bands to coordinate with my clothes. They are so easy to change out on a daily basis.
It's so easy to set up and use....
I'd highly recommend to anyone looking for a reasonably priced Pedometer watch plus more all in one.

Disappointed

Have had this less than a month and it got stuck in a rebooting "loop". Now it won't come back on. I am greatly disappointed as I really liked the product when it worked. I will gladly change the rating I gave if support comes thru on how to get it working again.
Pros: Bright display
Cons: quit working
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great Device, Horrible Software
on April 15, 2014
Posted by: prit876
I bought this on the assumption that it would work with the S - Health ecosystem on my Note 3. No, you have to install the Fitness with Gear app. This app does not play well with the Fit, syncs nothing except for the pedometer. What's the pint of a fitness band if there is no fitness app to sync to?
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations, software
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Works great for recording workouts but lacks app options.

I bought this device to record my running, biking, and walking exercises and easily control my music and incoming phone calls. It provides all these options with limitations.
Good things:
-easy to use, and setup
-easily records workouts. All you do is press start and then stop.
-Plays music easily, I no longer have to pull my phone out to stop/start skip music. Now I just touch my watch while exercising.
-Variable display. You can setup view vertically or horizontally. You can even setup your own background.
-reject calls, if you want send preload text message to caller to indicate why it was rejected.
-Receive e-mails from various accounts and read most the text on the watch.
-Receive calendar notifications and reminders on the watch.

Bad things or wished for software improvements:
-Other than it's manager program the watch only works with 1 app: Fitness with gear. Wished all the workouts recorded in Fitness with gear would automatically upload into S-health. So all I would do is select stop workout on the watch. Right now I have to select start/stop workout on both my watch and on S-Health. Very Annoying.
-More display options. Be able to setup the viewed date and time in many different formats on all backgrounds: Day of the week -YYYY-MM-DD, DD-MMM, DDMMMYYYY, time hour-minute-second, etc.
-The vertical options are lacking in variety. Would like to be able to view the time on one line and not over 3 lines.
-Be able to change the font color to something other than white so I can have a different colored background other than dark colors.
-Have an answer/end call option on the watch. I run with my headphones connected to my cell phone. If I can answer the call from my watch while running it would not have to stop my run to pull my phone.

Great smart watch but not for fitness
on November 2, 2014
Posted by: anthonyg
I bought the watch primarily to measure sleep patterns (e.g., restful sleep) and miles run, pace per mile and heart rate during exercise. The sleep part works well but the heart rate monitor during exercise was way off. It measured 172 beats per minute during cool down periods of interval trainign which is ridiculous. I could get a more accurate measure manually. And the distance was off anywhere from 25% - 40%. based on the S Health app in my S5 phone and my own general knowledge of the courses I run and walk.
I only had the watch 29 days and returned it.
I forgot to mention thar the software froze during the 29 day period and I had to reset the watch.
The non fitness features work very well but for me, I purchased it for the fitness function.

I got my Gear Fit for Christmas with my Note 4 and it is great for whatever I do. When I go for a run the exercise feature records my heart rate and max speed and average speed along with calories burned and time. It is also nice because the front page can be customized.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight, accurate
I would recommend this to a friend!
