Love some of the features but...
on March 1, 2015

I really wanted to love this watch, it has so many features that I love for example Find my phone feature. But I bought it as a pedometer and I counted 20 steps before the watch started counting and with other pedometers I could run in place and the steps are counted but not with this one.
And can someone from Samsung explain why I have to look at two different S health screens to get a total of my steps (I am using a Note Edge). This is the most ridiculous and easy to fix situation. Rather than toggling from the watch to the phone combine them.
Example when I have to charge my watch I carry my phone and when I am at work I have my watch on combine those steps together.

Checking my sleep is pretty accurate however, having to set it and turn it off is a pain. Especially when your trying to get the kids to bed and wake them up.
One fix is to have it automatically detect lack of movement for some time and go into sleep mode or on the phone the person can set their bedtime and it goes into sleep mode that way.

It's a beautiful, light weight smart watch that needs an upgrade. It has so many features but the ones that truly count need improvement. (Pedometer, Heart rate, Sleep mode)
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight, find my phone, flashlight, camera launch
Cons: Did not meet expectations, the pedometer was off, the sleep mode you have to turn it on and off, s health for the phone and watch need to be as one, heartrate should be continuous
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This looks real pretty - and is a total waste of money

Posted by: TooBlue
from Montana, USA
Expertise:Expert
Don't buy it. For some reason I decided to buy one and put my FitBit in the drawer. The display sold me... it's a complete waste of money - I can guarantee that I walk more than 0 steps... yet that's what the display says... My FitBit shows 8734 steps... bit of a difference - don't chaya think?
Don't buy it!
Pros: Bright display, pretty display
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, doesn't work, too expensive
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

timex watches have better wrist bands.

Great device - poor battery life
on February 22, 2015
Posted by: courtman
from MN
Expertise:Expert
I do love this device: I use it quite a bit. My only complaint is that the battery life used to last roughly 4-5 days before a charge was needed, while now it is about 1-2 days.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color
Cons: poor battery life
I would recommend this to a friend!

Disappointed
on February 19, 2015
Posted by: horsecrazy
Expertise:Intermediate
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.

Working Great since S Health update!!!
on February 13, 2015
Posted by: MzStackedUp
from Denver CO
Expertise:Expert
I purchased the gear fit 2 days ago and it was not syncing with my S Health. I realized the issue was with S Health, so I called Samsung and was on the phone for roughly 45 minutes with 3 different agents. I almost took the Gear Fit back to Best Buy until I saw that Samsung planned an update to S Health to fix the issue. I woke up this morning and was so excited that the update worked! I love the design of the watch. It's not boring like other fitness watches. I will continue to be a loyal Samsung customer!
Pros: Inexpensive, Durable, Lightweight, controls music, gives instant notifications
Cons: detached battery for charging can be easily lost
I would recommend this to a friend!
