Good Design, but FAIL on fitness tracking.

I loved this when I purchased this, as I find out now there is no website to track your stats.
It is supposed to sync with your phone and Samsungs fitness app. , but big fail on that. It will show you today on your phone but will not sync to whatever server it is supposed to be syncing to to track your stats.
The gear fit will NOT work with any android wear apps.
Big fail for Samsung, I really like Samsung, but the Gear Fit is a fail, unless you only want to track today and have no history of anything you use the gear Fit for.
Time to sell it and move on to another company for fitness tracking.. :(

Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations, no fitness tracking history, no tracking website
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

could do much better

Posted by: hass2014
first impressions is good but when used i found many problems with battery and poor accuracy , and never found how to deal with replacing battery , a hidden battery with rare specification is never a good idea for a product longevity .
Pros: good design
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Gear Fit

At first i really was not happy with the Gear Fit and wanted to return it after 2 days. But instead since bestbuy had a 15 day return i decided to give it another shot.
I do wear my gear fit upside down seems to work way better in this position
For my weight training i start of with the treadmill so i set the device on running, which it tracked my heart-rate continuously throughout and distance and was fairly accurate. I left it on running mode during my weight training so it can track my heart-rate and calorie burn and same thing it did very well.
throughout the day at work i do a lot of walking around so i set the device to walking mode, as well it track my heart-rate continuously and distance. when i know i am going to be sitting for awhile i set it back to just the step counter.
For accuracy i know it is not 100% but it does give a good general idea i workout and train almost everyday and i use to wear a heart rate monitor so i know when my heart rate is in the 120 range or above 160 so it does come fairly close
So now i feel differently about the gear fit i really does a good job and i love that it is water-proof.
I dont like that i have to be changing modes but then again it keeps me active.

Samsung Really needs to add weight lifting as an exercise option and cross-fit style i dont mind putting it on running mode (which tracks well) but it would be nice to see it on my logs on S-Health. Also it needs to fix the calorie burn i feel its under.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, waterproof, fair price
Cons: needs weight training added to exercise options
I would recommend this to a friend!

Gear Fit & Note 3
on November 16, 2014

The Gear Fit does not work with the Note 3 nor with any of the associated apps. It doesn't work with S Health nor with the Fitness with Gear app. You link it to your Samsung account, pair it with your Note 3 and it only keeps your daily information. Gear Fit keeps a log but it can't sync it with the other apps for you to track your progress. There are numerous forums and complaints about the incompatibility issues and apparently Samsung doesn't respond with an update to fix the issue. It works well with the Galaxy S5, but I'm not buying a new phone. Samsung needs to fix it with any update. I am a strong supporter of Samsung and their products. Have had them for years not just phones, but TVs, refrigerator, headphones, etc. I am really disappointed with their lack of response to this issue. I will be returning my Gear Fit.
Pros: Lightweight
Cons: doesn't work with all samsung phones
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Two Services in Two Months
on November 14, 2014
Posted by: OrWolfe
Expertise:Intermediate
I've had to have my Gear Fit sent in for service twice in the last two minutes because of getting caught in an endless reboot cycle.
When it is working I've loved the ability to be able to quickly see summaries of my emails and text messages at a glance. Also receiving sport score updates and other notifications all without taking my phone out of my pocket. I wear a Bluetooth so I can leave my phone at my desk while I get coffee and if I get a call I can tell who is calling and take it or send them a text response that I pre create.
Again all this is great when I have it and it is not off to the service center.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Lightweight
Cons: Poor quality
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Samsung's Next Big Thing is kind of a FAIL.
on November 12, 2014
Posted by: WebJedi

Expertise:Expert
This product was an exciting prospect for me. I love the design. But that is where my admiration fizzles out. I use the Fit with my Note 3. It struggles to stay connected.
While it is nice to have notifications on my wrist, the fitness features are not accurate (when it works) and are rarely useful if not accurate. It is frustrating to see that Samsung cannot get more than 3 days of battery life from this device. My 15yo nephew asked, "Who needs a watch that has to be charge every two days?". My answer: "Noone."
The chrome is flaking off after less than 2 weeks. The band "clasps" or pins are far from securely connected. Why aren't the caps on the pins a bit bigger to allow for a more secure connection on the wrist?
Samsung created a nice looking device here. But they continually deliver products that are not well thought out or tested. You can bet the Apple Watch has been well thought out.
Hopefully, Gear Fit 2 or Gear Fit S will be a better device.
Pros: Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations, cheap construction, dodgey connection
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
