What's great about it: Easy to use, beautiful display
What's not so great: Accuracy could be better, and a tad expensive
Works great for what I wanted. I don't need a full time accurate to the nth degree fitness band, and I am not geek enough for a full on smart watch. It measures my steps, monitors my HR while exercising, and has just enough integration with my phone to be useful, without being a novelty. I work out 6 days a week and while I mostly lift weights, I do spend 2-3 days doing some form of cardio.
S Health app is adequate and can keep track of quite a bit of information. Samsung has a pretty good tutorial on their website. I would suggest taking a look at it, as the app itself is not 'apple' intuitive and requires a bit of exploring to find all the features. It also requires a Gear Fit app to sync with S Health. Not a deal breaker for me, but it would be nice if it was all integrated into one app. I would also like to see some sort of social function beyond the default android 'share' where you could upload your data to a social site ala Fitbit and Jawbone app to compare/compete with friends etc.
It paired quickly and simply to my Galaxy S5 phone, and have had no technical issues.
This product has... Attractive design, Right size, Useful features, Quick reading, Easy to wear, Easy to read
About me... workout enthusiast
I would recommend this to a friend!

Gear Fit - What's included (see below)

Does this tracker include:
- step tracking (similar to fitbit)?
- website support (similar to fitbit)?
- sleep tracking?
- ability to interface with a WiFi scale; not a blutooth scale?
The device monitors sleep by telling you the percentage of time asleep that you were still. Not scientific, but essentially the same as the other trackers out there.

It measures steps, but it is only a pedometer. It does not really track altitude so it will not differentiate walking on flat land or stairs.

No website support that I know of, only the S health app.

Will this device track sleep activity, including time slept and/or quality of sleep? Thanks

When you put the device in 'sleep mode' it essentially keeps track of how still you are. In the morning you will be shown how many hours/minutes you were asleep (essentially how long the device was in sleep mode), and the percentage of that time that you were lying still. this information is then stored on your phone in the S Health app.
NOTE: You have to manually turn sleep mode on and off.

Can you place mobile calls with this device?

Can you place mobile calls with this device?
No, you can only see incoming call ID, and you have the ability to decline a call, and/or decline a call with a prepared message.
