I tried other fitness bands and my consistent complaint was inaccuracy. I tested them all using the same 4.0 mile hike and all were inaccurate, as much as 7%. I decided to try the GearFit because I've owned a Samsung Galaxy tablet and smartphone for years and have never had any problems. This product did not disappoint. It is accurate, sleek, and easy to use. The only drawback is that it is not integrated with MyFitnessPal, but I'm hopeful!! I would definitely recommend it and HAVE!
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have been looking for a heart rate monitor since mine died 2 years ago. I had a fit bit but it did not monitor heart rate. This watch has everything I have been looking and more. I am excited to track my sleep along with my workout tomorrow! I love the look and that I can see my notifications on my wrist.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

But there really should be a more low profile for girls with boney wrists size!!! Still loving the fitness and sleep monitoring as well as the apps that run on it.
Pros: Bright display, accurate
Cons: just a little too bulky
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not too shabby...

My wife bought me the Galaxy Gear Fit smartwatch because I'd been bugging her about getting me a competitor's watch. I had actually never heard of the Gear Fit until she brought it up, at which point I read up as much as I could about it. Suffice it to say, I was hooked. It had almost everything I wanted in a smartwatch: steps counter, heart rate monitor, phone connectivity. I already had a calorimeter in another watch, and I could track my runs using an app on my phone. So I guess I was set.
Tonight is the first time I've used this watch, and I can't say I have anything bad to say...yet. The steps counter is almost the same as having my phone in my pocket, except obviously it's smaller. Which leads me to my next thing. I can barely tell it's on my wrist, which is a definite plus. Since this is my first time playing with this watch, I'm really careful about banging it against surfaces and risk scratching up its face. The good thing about this watch is that you don't have to have the phone with you to track steps (although I think you need your phone with you to track other activities). It will make sounds if you set it up that way, and will vibrate accordingly. It has notifications when you get a new msg or a twitter interaction, and you can even control your media through it.
Appearance-wise, it's definitely stylish and sleek. Its silver trim mirrors the Samsung phones and actually looks like a mini-phone on your wrist. I believe that Samsung has since upgraded its system since its initial release to allow more apps to integrate within the Gear Fit's framework, and that is a good thing when you want to add some fitness-related apps.
All in all, it's not a bad deal if you want the phone integration with your watch. Haven't tried it yet but you can accept/decline phone calls from your watch, which is cool. Give it a try if you want something cool on your wrist.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, phone integration
Cons: usb charger is not on the unit itself
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have the S5 and the OnePlus One. This device works well with the S5 of course, but I need it to pair up with my OnePlus One also and it won't. Other than that, its a great piece of tech that has me sold with accessibility and convenience. Just wish it would pair/connect to my OnePlus also
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: software compatibility

Great tracker for a fitness enthusiasts!

So far I'm pleased with the Gear fit, it's just the right size for my needs, I wish it had a better locking mechanism for the wristband as I fear I might loose it some day if I get it caught on my clothing. I'm happy with the features, heart rate monitor, pedometer, sleep pattern monitor, plus messaging and locate my device to make my Galaxy S5 ring if I misplace it. Plus battery life has been better than expected.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Lightweight, comfortable to wear
I would recommend this to a friend!

Cool gadget but needs work
on December 12, 2014

Just got 2 of these and while it's ultimately a cool gadget there are some bugs.
1. The manual shows features that are non existent example would be Auto Sleep Mode...not a function on the device.
2. The app S Heath shows the temperature in Celsius even though it's set to F.
3. S Health has no way to set weight goals (I'm coming from a Fitbit) i.e. I weight 180 and want to drop 10 lbs. Based on my 1 lb a week goal what is my calorie intake? You can set the calories but it's not really intuitive. I like the Fitbit where it says "Hey, you have 500 calories left...unless you exercise! Then you can eat ice cream" (OK I mad that up but it does say intake and burn and shows the budget).

I realize that this is ranting about the app and the device but I view this as an eco system that should all work together flawlessly.
This is a cool "gadget" but not great
Pros: cool gadget
Cons: Did not meet expectations, needs better partner app, no web site log like others
I would recommend this to a friend!
