Samsung Gear Fit the way to go!

I went in looking at FitBit but after talking to someone who had this instead (she has multiple Samsung products), I chose the Gear Fit to go along with my Galaxy S4 smartphone. I love that I don't have to wear a watch AND this device. Someone commented today that they liked my new bracelet. And I LOVE that its able to control my music.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Eh... doesn't need to be sold as a fit companion - more distance tracking..

The concept is really cool. BUT... unless you are walking, cycling, hiking, or running the "fit" part doesn't really do you any good (these are the only choices of exercise you can choose from). I was excited to check this out, but was skeptical since no one that sold it to me could answer anything about the heart rate monitor. I workout and take classes at the gym. I was hoping to replace my heart rate monitor chest strap. It doesn't replace it. So, while I'd hoped it would count my calories burned, it did not. As a matter of fact, it counted 1 calorie every way I tried to use it. I tried it on all choices (run, walk, etc.). If it truly is reading my heart rate, I would think it would count the calories. HERE IS MY DISCLAIMER: I am not familiar with the "technical" side of the equipment, so I could be mistaken... BUT... it seems that if you are traveling (walking, running, etc.) it does not utilize your heart rate to count calories... OR maybe it doesn't initiate the heart rate monitor unless you are traveling? I don't know.
As far as the notifications... text, FB, email, etc... It was neat, but that as about it. If you really needed to be notified that you have incoming items, it would be great. If you are using it to be able to check your messages, etc., discreetly, good luck. It's still pretty obvious that you are looking at something; difference is, instead of your lap, it's your wrist. One problem though most of the time I could not feel the vibration alert. I never found a way to increase or decrease the strength of the notification.
I hate to sound so negative but I just wasn't thrilled. The "idea" of it is great, but it just lacks in follow through. If had done just a bit more, I would have kept it. I just felt that I couldn’t justify the expense for something that I used more of as a watch. I think I'll wait to see what else happens in the techy gear fit watch arena a little longer.
WIth much heartache, I returned it.
Pros: Bright display, Durable
Cons: Did not meet expectations, did not count calories for gym workout, no control over vibration strength/ notification
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

minimalist fitness tracker
on July 26, 2014
Posted by: ranger67
from Florida, USA
Expertise:Expert
This unit can be laggy and slow to respond to touch. I set it for running and it just stopped at 17:55 out of a 43 minute run. It seems to have a hard time with monitoring heart rate unless you are perfectly still. In addition, though I wipe it and clean it daily when I take my shower, and no I don't shower with it on, the plastic retaining pins have already flaked off the outer silver and are presenting red and have gotten rougher, sometimes irritating my wrist. On the upside, I get 3-4 days on a single charge with the pedometer on full time and it integrates nicely with my s5. If it wasn't for my s5, I would return it.
Btw, I've only owned the device for 20 days.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color, Lightweight, nice sleep monitor
Cons: buggy, physically irritating
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Research before makin your purchase
on July 25, 2014
Posted by: Gljbm2014
I did a lot of research before making my purchase. So I knew before hand that it would not function just like the gear 2 neo. This watch did what I needed it to do and I knew that I didn't need the extras. So far I've lived with it on my wrist pretty much 24/7 for the last two weeks. My only complaint is the touch screen doesn't always respond (which was in reviews I read). Suggestion: is it possible to add a glucose tracker/app to S health?
Pros: Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!
