Good product but materials causing skin irritation

Expertise:Expert
Its a good watch but sub-par materials are causing me to get a skin rash where the clasp rests on my wrist. Most likely will have to return it or sell it for a loss.....
Not very happy.....
Pros: Lightweight
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, poor materials
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great Look, but Poor Integration
on June 9, 2014
Posted by: Rafitti

This watch does what's expected of it well - tracks footsteps, notifications, beautiful display and sleek looks. I always receive compliments over it. However the integration was done poorly. For example -
1) You need to download the Gear Fit Manager - it's basically the expanded watch settings app.
2) S Health App - This is used to port the info from your Fit to the app. Good app, but needs improvements. Also, due to an update, a major week of activities tracked by my fit didn't port into the app, causing it to be over-written.
3) The sleep app is an additional app within the S Health ecosystem ... it's not part of S Health. That was extremely bad in my opinion.
Conclusion - Samsung rushed to the market with this product and did not spend the money on R&D like they should have. Your competitor will release a smart watch and get it right the first time. Sorry, but you failed this time. (Of course you can keep updating the software and make it better, which is what's probably going to happen)
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I Love the Gear Fit
on June 4, 2014
Posted by: Mauk67

Expertise:Expert
I like new tech and am often in meetings all day. I must leave my S4 smart phone on vibrate so often, actually all day, that I sometimes miss important calls. With the Gear Fit, I can check what's going on outside the current meeting, and if needed, can quickly excuse myself to take that important call.
Another benefit; I no longer pull out my cell phone to check the time. The Gear Fit is my new watch.
The battery life is somewhat less than I expected but charging is easy, and battery life hasn't been a major negative.
I use another device (FitBit) for fitness tracking, so rarely use the Gear Fit's fitness apps.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
Cons: battery life
I would recommend this to a friend!

Can't read it outside
on June 3, 2014
Posted by: YukonDad
I love everything about this when I'm indoors, but when I try to use it outdoors, I can't read anything because of the reflection on the screen.
I would recommend this to a friend!

eh...

-I was mainly interested in the watch for its heart rate monitor. However, after reading multiple reviews and testing it out myself, I have noticed that the monitor isn't all that acurate. There is no way my resting heart rate is over 85 and for some reason I get the message "unable to read" 80% of the time. Furthermore, anytime my heart rate is over 125, I never get a measurement. All the other features are decent, my favorite being the AMAZING display, just cumbersome to read your texts on such a small screen. The pedometer could use some help as well. Apperantly I walked 100+ steps while driving 30 mins to school. The built in alarm is wonderful, hard to not notice it in the morning. For the same price, I strongly suggest buying the Neo instead.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: heart rate monitor not accurate., very small display and annoying to read notificati
I would recommend this to a friend!

Expertise:Intermediate
When I first got this product the battery gave me about 16 hrs of charge after about 30 days it dosnt even last 8 hrs . It really needs to be able to last atleast 12 hrs I would think. I may have to return it and find somthing like it that has better battery life...
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: battery life not good
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I can quietly read my notifications at work or at a theatre. I can track my steps using the pedometer. This is really a great device! Just wish it had more features...
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: not a lot of features...
I would recommend this to a friend!
