I have had many other fitness trackers (Nike, Jawbone, fit bit) this was by far my favorite until recently. I was getting 3 days out of a charge, now I am barely able to get a full 24 hours before I get a critical low battery alert. I love the screen and notifications alerts. I am also having issues with the band coming open more frequently than when I first bought it. I wish the battery issue could be resolved. I have only had the watch for about 3 months.
I really enjoy my Gear Fit and how well it interfaces with the S Health app. As I recover from a knee replacement it has been very good to monitor the amount of exercise and heart rate with it. I particularly like be able to check messages and phone calls in meeting with out having to pull out my my S6. Less intrusive to others.
I am not happy with how small the band is. Big guys will find it tight. Also the Gear fit is not very robust - if you are really active, it will show the wear.
I used this watch for a few months and then it had an issue that others have also experienced with the watch being stuck in a rebooting loop. It took a month to get the serial number authorized. And a few weeks to get the actual RMA for the service. Once sent in for repair and it came back quickly. Fixed! Two months later the same issue occurred. I will attempt another repair and that's it. When the watch worked, it was awesome! Having the watch able to control the media play on my phone and have it tell me who's calling, show me text messages, track my exercise and steps. Super! Since it's stuck in the rebooting loop there appears to be no real solution for the end user (I have tried the suggestions - it worked once and then a day later it was back) to resolve the rebooting issue on their own. Sending it back every few months is not acceptable. This should not happen. I cannot recommend this watch to others. I may go back to a FitBit.
Pros: Bright display, useful features
Cons: Did not meet expectations, has a software issue
I have had my Samsung Gear Fit almost a month. I am pleased with its performance overall. What I am totally unhappy about is how easy it gets scratched/scuffed. The chrome surrounding the "display face" has worn off and has scratches from just normal use, it now looks tatty and inferior. I believe for the price paid, it should be more resistant to scratches/scuffs taking into account it is worn like a normal watch.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, chrome around face scratches /wears too easily .
Most of my family and friends has a fit-bit to track their activities. I decided to get a Samsung Gear Fit to go alone with my Samsung Phone. And I love it.... it has more than enough features for my use. I've used them all and would recommend the Gear Fir to anyone. Very comfortable to wear, be careful, you can knock it off your wrist. Also I enjoy some of Samsung App that works great as well.
I ordered this to help me keep track of steps and remind me to work out as much as possible. It also helps me keep track of heart rate. It does a good job.
