Battery life

The only drawback is the battery life. I have to charge it daily to be sure it works all day. I am not very tech savvy so it is probably an easily resolved settings issue that could be easily resolved if I was more competent.
This is great....i get notifications when my phone is on silent and i forget take it out--now i can respond to texts or get my phone when it "rings" in a timely manner. I just wish it was a little narrower in both width and length as i am small and it is just a little large.
It doesn't feel bulky on the wrist. The features it boasts work well. I would live to see more Customizable watch faces. Definitely worth the purchase!
Pros: Durable, Lightweight
Cons: better app support, more customizable displays
Perfect for me since I am a gal-most everything else just looks to bulky on my wrist and at least you can look at your wrist when someone calls or emails or texts and not pick up your phone to look every single time. A+++++++
I initially purchased this watch to keep track of my mileage while running. It seemed to work great, but then I compared it to my Samsung S5 phone and noticed a pretty large discrepancy (1/4/-1/2 mi) in the distance tracked. I tried rebooting and resyncing the device but no luck. Eventually I just gave up and used it as a watch and notifications for text messages and phone calls. This was fine for about 6 weeks longer, then the watch simply stopped working. It constantly reboots and never completes the process leaving the device unusable.
I've been using mobile technology since my very first "bag phone" many many years ago. I've used so many different brands - until I came across Samsung with my first Galaxy S2 when it first came out... since then, I've remained with Samsung due to their superior products and ease of use. This product is no different. I've recently come to a point in my life where I've decided I need to get back into shape, but oftentimes the "motivation" isn't there, or the results are skewed over such a long period of time that it's hard to really see progress. This has changed with the Gear Fit. With a great price-point, and a beautiful sleek design that is SO LIGHT you hardly even know it's there! This thing tracks my weight, my sleep, my heart-rate - and meshes so seamlessly with my S-Health on my Galaxy S6 that it is so easy to track my results, and thus plan accordingly. I've now lost 10 pounds in less than a month, and I pretty much owe it all to this nifty little device and Samsung! Thanks guys!
I loved my Gear Fit and will purchase another. I originally purchased it for the pedometer and watch. But I grew to appreciate the other features. loved how it talked to my phone - I could turn off alarms, check text messages and email, and see who was calling from the other room if I wasn't near my phone. And it would tell me if I left my phone in the car by disconnecting from the phone. That way I didn't spend so much time looking in my purse for my phone. And it helped me find my phone.
But, the band was flawed and I lost it. I knocked the band while loading the car with groceries and it fell off. I didn't notice it until too late. I will purchase another one but would like to know what other options are available for bands.
