wrist strap

purchased this watch for my wife for her birthday back in May. She liked the watch and what it did, but the wrist strap kept coming undone while wearing it. well it finally happened to fall off and she did not notice until she got home. Went back and retraced her steps and of course she could not find the watch and no one turned it in. Due to the fact I do not have the watch anymore I can not get a new one. Just want to give everyone a heads up to be careful while wearing this watch because you will be out the cash before you know it. I would also like to know if anyone else is have a wrist strap issue.
The Gear Fit is an excellent option for a fitness band. It tracks my steps, logs my bike rides, and keeps up with my run. I do wish that it worked with the built in S-Health on my Note 3, downloading another app to take up space on my phone wasnt ideal but Fitness with Gear is growing on me.
Watch, pedometer, heart rate monitor, sleep monitor, know who's calling, stop watch and texts/emails. And most importantly, it finds my lost in the house cell phone by ringing it.
I have been searching for quite awhile for a strapless heart rate monitor and something that will track my steps, running and calories burned during exercise. I had REALLY high hopes for the Gear fit but it is missing one crucial feature....you can't track your heart rate or calories burned during stationary exercise! What the heck! I teach Yoga and Pilates and really like to see how many calories I have burned. Unfortunately this is where the Gear fit falls short. Seems like a simple fix...Hint Hint Samsung! If this feature were added I would give it 5 stars as the rest of the functions are fabulous! Steps seem pretty accurate, same with heart rate. I love that I can see text messages and emails without having to look at my phone. Overall great product...just needs a few enhancements and it will be top notch!
I like it, The pedometer seems more accurate than the walkmate on the S4. And it syncs up great with my phone. I like being able to see the text, email, and call details. The wake up gesture feature is a wee bit wonky while driving and tends to come on often for me. considering how much I use it the battery life isn't bad. I charge it about every other day overnight. Overall I think its a good value for the price and features compared to other similar products.
I don't have to keep checking my phone everytime it makes a noise. Heart rate monitor is a nice touch. You can download an app to control your phone to answer calls, dismiss calls, put phone on speaker, and even dail. I use it quite a bit and get 2 days battery life which is good.
Dear alll I bought the Gear Fit to be notified before a Outlook appointment. Now I'm very disappointed because this feature is only working if it is connected to my Galaxy S5. Why is the Gear Fit not able to keep the next 5 appointments stored without connection to S5? For me this function is absolutely useless if a connection to the S5 is a requirement:-( Otherwise the step counter is really unexact: after 5 hours with my car (manual gearbox) I had more the 500 steps on my Gear Fit:-( The heart rate sensor is only working if you don't move: but I like to measure while I'm walking, same as with a chest belt! When does Samsung plan to fix this with an Upgrade??? THX & cheers, biker955
