Can't disabel auto unlock on phone

Expertise:Expert
Some update happened and now as long as I am close to my watch whomever picks up my phone does not need to enter my lock code to use my phone.
So if I am sleeping next to it, my room mates, friends, or people who I don't know why they are staying at my place can pick up my phone and do what ever they want.
There is no spot in settings to turn this off, in the app, in the watch, or on the phone.
Cons: disabels phones security.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Love the feel and look

This device was easy to setup and connects easily to my galaxy 5. I love the ability to set a background, and though I am still learning many of the festures, I love the sleep monitor, pedometer and many other options. All in all this was a great purchase and I would recommend it to anyone looking towards it. Battery seems short lived, but same holds true for the galaxy 5 so I adjust to it I am very pleased with this device.
Pros: Inexpensive, Realistic color, Bright display, Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: battery life (per charge)
I would recommend this to a friend!

Huge fan of Samsung products, this one is no different. I do however hope there is a software update soon. There needs to be some tweeks on this to make it a major contender/necessity on everyones wrist. First there are only a few apps to download and us on the watch that most people will use. These apps are accessable through app connect, but should be able to be put on the main scroll through screen or swapped out with other built in apps i dont use. Second some of the add on apps to download should be done by samsung and included like phone dialer, calendar, and calculator. Also for some reason some features from s-health are not acessable from the fit. I cannot track my weight from the watch. You can adjust it on the fit profile, but does not track it on s-health. It should also have quick inputs for food/calorie intakes to track on your s-health app as well. I mean this is common sense it is to be used in conjunction with s-health so it should do all the features of s-health. Also needs an automatic sleep tracker. Sometimes I forget to turn it on or off. Lastly the band comes detached often because it does not clip in. I know there are little rubber add ons to buy for it, but how about make a full band replacement for people who want an actual clasp. Other than those minor complaints this product is great. I get alerts from apps I choose on it. Can read my texts and respond easily when my hands are full. (Dont use email they are way too long compared with txts) Great feature is the triple tap for emergency help. I know of times when this would have been useful for people, like my sister when she was at a bank when it was robbed. She could have alerted someone with out being obvious grabbing a phone. If Samsung fixes those things this would be a nearly perfect watch. It is great looking, inexpensive and highly useful. I get comments all the time asking what it is and most people think it cost a ton of money, but are shocked at the low price.
Pros: Inexpensive, Realistic color, Bright display, Lightweight, attention grabbing, great looking
Cons: needs to be fully integrated with s-health, needs more default apps, needs a better clasp.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I've had my gear fit for a few months now and I love it.... the heart rate is sometimes off but it's still I really good product. The one thing I would love for this to have is to add dance to the exercise. I do zumba about 3 days a week and it would be nice to see exactly my calories. Since it only show my step calories and not the dancing steps... I'd it's anyway you guys and update the gear with that it would be great!!!!
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: need dance as exercise
I would recommend this to a friend!

Ok for a starter fitness tracker
on September 1, 2015

I think this is a good inexpensive fitness tracker with lots of good features to figure out if you really want to use or need a tracker. I like that there is an interactive app that works with the gear fit to track the results. A computer version would be nice to view the results in a larger format.
As a pedometer I think it is excellent. I like that I can set a goal and I want to walk more during the day to reach the goal. I like that there are exercise settings that goals can be set for those as well. My problem with the gear fit for me is that I initially got it to track my workout. which is cardio kickboxing. There isn't a setting that can track this activity accurately and even with an app that supposedly works with the gear fit it is highly inaccurate ( and needs a separate heart monitor device and seems unable to share any information with the S Health app).
I like the interactions with the phone, notifications for messages, calls and emails are nice & convenient. I can do a quick standard reply from the gear fit without using my phone or monitor for important messages/calls while working out. I've used the timer function several times. It's handy to have it on your arm. I also like that the alarms set on my phone will vibrate the gear bit when they go off to wake me.
It is very durable I've worn it all day at work, out running errands, during kickboxing and self defense classes. So far I've only managed a small scratch on the screen. I thought it was going to be hard to keep it scratch free but it holds up nicely.
I think this was a good start for me to try out a highly functional tracker to figure out what kinds of features I want and need out of a fitness tracking device.
Pros: Inexpensive, Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations
I would recommend this to a friend!

It was hard to get here in Oaxaca, Mexico. I had to order it, but I have it and am racking up my miles, checking my heart rate & everything! It was easy to set up, and I find it both attractive & comfortable!
Pros: attractive, comfortable
I would recommend this to a friend!
