Great while it lasted

Initially I loved this watch and enjoyed every function it had to offer. I would challenge myself daily to beat my previous days steps, monitor my HR and occasionally my sleep. I loved that it would alert me to phone calls, as well as receive text messages. I received this as a mothers day gift in 2014 and wore it every single day until it broke in the beginning of April(2015). I was very disappointed when I realized it was no longer working. The button to initiate the display had broken, most likely due to the fact that I wore the watch on my L wrist placing the button at the bend between my wrist and hand. Because I could not find the receipt or the original box there is nothing I could do to get it replaced.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations, design flaw

Nice looking watch and applications are great

Although I read some so so reviews on CNET, I still purchased it and to try out and I absolutely fell in love with it. I like that it syncs well with my Samsung Note 4 and since I've been using it it has actually motivated me to eat better and exercise (moderately) compared to no exercise and not eating well. The colors are brilliant and it just works fine for receiving texts and when I get a call it just vibrates which is all I really need. Depending on future watch styles, I may upgrade in near future only because I loved this style and cannot wait to see future style and applications.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Close to what I was hoping for

I have only owned my Samsung Gearfit for a week however in that time I've used it continuously, trying the various features of it. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with it.
I started out looking for a fitness band. In searching for the various features, I began to look more at the smartwatches which feature the same things as most fitness bands but offer a few additional features that I thought might be nice to have. I don't want to wear a phone on my wrist so I'm not looking for tons of features. That being said, I do like the ability to receive text messages and other message updates and quickly reply to them when I'm out enjoying my leisure time just in case one of my family members is trying to reach me.
For me, the pros are:
Fairly attractive design that works on a woman's wrist
Offers fitness tracking features I was looking for
Has optional applications that work with my Samsung S4 phone (the apps list seems to be growing, which is a good thing)
Allows me to check text messages, email, pm's from social media as they come in
Affordable price (it cost less than the fitness bands I was looking at)
Cons:
Pedometer seems to be inaccurate, over-calculating my steps (after all, fitness tracking was the main reason I was looking for a device such as this)
Could be a little slimmer design for women
Would rather see apps on a main screen vs buried in menu
Overall I am enjoying my Gear Fit band and I like how it interacts easily with my phone. That being said, I'd like to see the fitness tracking become more accurate and I'd love to see the apps be more easily accessible.
The make or break thing for me will be whether or not Samsung supports it with software updates over time as they roll out new products. If the band lasts a few years but they don't keep it updated, then I'll be looking at other brands in the future.

great watch

the watch/ fit band looks really nice. The curved screen just kinda fits with it to. It looks like something from the future and has alot of features with it. Only problems are is that sometimes you need to press on an app more than once to open it and the heart rate sensor is not so good. The battery life is also pretty good. The brightness is good but it could be better. I would recommend this to anyone. It doesn't just have to apply to people with a fit lifestyle. Last thing, it's had an ip67 rating for dust and water resistance, but it's not shock proof witch for a fitness band, is kind of a let down.
Pros: Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, ip67 rating
Cons: Not high def
I would recommend this to a friend!

Needs an improved battery

What I like. I'm a small woman, this watch fits me without looking awkward. I like the different bands.
Dislikes. The battery life is poor. This is my second gear fit watch. Both have had poor battery life. I will keep the phone not synced, the light at its lowest setting most of the day, and I am not able to log 24hrs. The watch will turn to and if I'm moving and the watch rubs against me it will switch screens, stop the pedometer, put me on sleep mode. Very frustrated. Have it 6 mo., looking for a different watch!
