It could be way better..

I like how it looks and that i can snooze my alarm from it. I like that i can jog and change songs without having to take my phone off my armband. I especially like that i can read texts from my watch but after one text, if you don't open it, the next message just says click to view but it doesn't allow you to click anything and you basically have to get your phone out to see the message. That gets annoying. The pedometer is great. The exercise (running) tracker is way off.. I've had it on while running 5ks and the time is right but the distance is never correct. I wish I could sync it up to my running app. This product could be so much better if they could just fix the little kinks.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight, battery life is pretty long
Cons: Did not meet expectations, doesn't open all messages, distance isn't measured correctly, charger dock is really small and easy to lose
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love the small design and the light weight of it! it does a lot of interesting things and does not hold back on the Features! Being able to fully customize the screen and background are a HUGE plus! from the pre-loaded background to your own personal pictures from your Samsung phone! Love this Watch. 5/5 would defiantly buy again!
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: none

I love my gear fit

I absolutely love it. The only thing I would add to it if possible is fitness classes to the exercise. My step count & calories burned are inaccurate when I take classes.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight

Mostly what I was hoping for
on September 6, 2014

I bought this with the hopes of keeping track of certain things during exercising. Especially, heart rate and how many steps I've gone that day. Liked the idea that it would send call and txt notifications so that I wouldn't have to have my phone out as I went for walks and such. I don't always hear my phone in my purse. The Gear Fit vibrates when a txt or call comes through. You can also set up other notifications, such as twitter, facebook, and so on.
I used the walking mode when on my treadmill. The calories burned according to gear fit matched with the estimations on my treadmill. I found that wearing the Gear Fit with the screen under my wrist (facing my palm) rather than on the top of my wrist (facing back of hand) gave better and constant heart rate readings. It also saved the screen from being bumped during exercising.
For the most part, it does what I was hoping for. I have Samsung Galaxy S4. So, at this moment, the program, Fitness with Gear, doesn't seem to sync up with S Health the way I'd hoped. I dislike having half of my steps counted on the Gear Fit, while the other half is on the phone when I'm not wearing the watch. I know I've made my goal for the day, but the programs should record it completely. There should be a way to add them together. I know there is for a Galaxy S5. Hopefully, they'll make an update for this soon. I also wish there was a setting for aerobics.
For the most part, I'm happy with my purchase so far and see me using this at least 5 days a week.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight, checks heart rate, pedometer, notifications
Cons: data sharing 'tween apps unavailable for galaxy s4
I would recommend this to a friend!

The Fit is nice but not for everyone!

I think the Gear Fit was a great smart band that showed a lot of potential but it lack the thin sleekness I was looking for plus the side height is to tall for me. I think the Gear S is the answer to what I mean. We have to thank Samsung for the array of options in the Smart Watch category that they give us.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations

Easy to loose
on September 5, 2014
Posted by: RegularJoe
The band is not very secure. The clasp has separated several times for my wife and myself. Fortunately for my wife she has found her device twice after it has fallen off. It get stuck on clothes and you don't notice that its off your wrist.
For me, my device fell off several times and now is gone.

Good - When it Works
on September 4, 2014

I purchased one for myself and one as a gift for my wife. Mine is pretty good. Occasionally, it will reset itself, losing all of the data that has not yet been synced with the phone... Which also means you have to set up all of your settings and apps again.
My wife's, however, is a complete lemon. It constantly resets itself, and now refuses to sync data with S Health - which is the whole point.
Heart rate monitor only works about half of the time - even when it's cleared of sweat and you keep completely still. It is accurate when it works, though.
So far - I like it, but it definitely needs to be improved to demand a price tag like it has.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations, faulty software
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
