Departed with my Gear Fit with Great Sadness
on December 28, 2014
Posted by: Jiria
from London, UK
With great excitement, I purchased my first Gear Fit four months ago. The watch had all the functions I wanted in a fitness watch - heart rate measurement, pedometer, syncs in with my phone for receiving notifications as well as tracking my fitness progress through the S Health app. The watch itself is easy to use and aesthetically pleasing.
However a fundamental flaw for the watch lies in the design of the strap. The buckle design means that the watch can come off your wrist easily. A few close calls where the straps loosens and the watch fell off my wrists onto the ground. I was previously lucky to have spotted this and manage to not lose the watch.
It is with great sadness that the day has arrived where the strap failed due to the buckle design becoming loose once again resulting in the my watch falling off my wrist. This time without me noticing at the time as I was walking down a street and now the watch is lost.
I am very disappointed in this as I believe the watch itself is a great product with all the functions but the strap really let the whole product experience down.
I urge you to consider a more secure design for the strap so customers don't bare the risk of losing their watch. I truly believe if the strap is designed better for a secure fit then it wouldn't have fallen off my wrist.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

OK for smart watch terrible for fitness.

Expertise:Expert
My wife bought me this for Christmas as a replacement for my fit bit flex. I wish I had read all of the reviews. As the title states it is OK as a smart watch, but is absolutely sub-standard for any of its fitness functions. Unless you just want a middle of the road smart watch do not purchase this.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

fails in calorie counting
on December 27, 2014

from naples, florida
Expertise:Expert
fabulous that this small device can connect to your cell phone for tracking your steps in running, walking, or even cycling but because it lacks a set for general gym activity it fails miserably in calculating the amount of calories that you burn per day. For example wearing another tracking device, I burned 2200 calories today and wearing the gear fit device it says I burned a hundred and sixty two lol after 1 hour of intense high intensity weight lifting and cardio circuit training. And walking half the day.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, stopwatch, previews cell phone messages, alerts you to phone calls
Cons: Did not meet expectations, calorie calculate is off 5000%
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good Options, Tracker not for me
on December 26, 2014
Posted by: AngelLike
from Long Island, New York, USA
Expertise:Beginner
I am very disappointed with the exercise tracker on this device. I purchased the product thinking my calories would be tracked with the intensity of the workout (Higher heart rate). This is not the case. So far I have tried running because there is no option for personal training/ kickboxing type of work out. During a 1 hour hard workout, my device says I only burned 65 calories. It is totally useless for me. Also, even though it reads heart rate during the exercise, it does not record it. It would be nice to be able to analyze the workout intensity myself. I do like how it integrates the rest of the options with my S Health and it would work well for those who just Run/ Walk/ Hike/ Cycle.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive
Cons: Did not meet expectations
I would recommend this to a friend!

1. Should work with more devices.
2. I should be able to set alarms with watch alone, this feature is missing.
3. I should be able to add my name and phone number in case watch is lost. This feature is missing.
4. clasp is weak and can fall off. it needs continuous band.
