The hardware is near-perfect. Really
All it's missing is an ambient light sensor
And maybe a mic for quick replies to email. But the screen is lovely
The band is comfortable
And the whole thing just looks great. Four days of battery life is totally re

The editors didn't like
The software is unforgivably bad. Tragically bad. It feels as if the Gear Fit and the S Health teams barely spoke to each other at all. Which is especially bedeviling since Samsung made the conscious choice to sell a wearable product that only works with
Attractive (for a smartwatch) and well made. Curved screen is beautiful and bright. Battery should see most users through three days
Rarely displayed time when I wanted it to. No GPS tracking. Long texts not fully displayed. S Health is confusing, with too much going on. Cannot automatically detect exercise or sleep
The Gear Fit was my favourite product of the Mobile World Congress technology show this year. Where the Gear 2 offered too much and for a high price, the Fit stuck to the specific task of recording exercise and being a watch with a simple range of notifi...

Abstract: The Samsung Gear Fit is the most interesting proposal Samsung for the new generation of wearable devices. A smart watch that syncs with your smartphone or tablet from Samsung that lets you view the last messages received WhatsApp, manage calls coming into...

Phone notifications, Good looks, Curved AMOLED display, Lots of accessories,
So, is it a top wearable? There's so much to like about the Samsung Gear Fit but its greatest strengths are those that matter least. The mobile notifications and utilities are the best in field but it's a little behind in the actual fitness applications...
Great design, beautiful display in right conditions, simple and fluid interface, built-in heart-rate monitor, interchangeable straps, good price, some smartwatch functions
Some Samsung device compatibility only, no auto brightness, battery life not amazing, fitness features limited, lack of apps, restricted to S Health (Samsung' s app) only, accuracy questionable at times, no altimeter
The Gear Fit offers a slim design, beautiful display and a fluid interface that's quick and easy to navigate. As its name suggests, it's a device focused on fitness, but here it's Samsung's way or the highway: the Gear Fit is only compatible with so...
With all of this in mind, we come to the most important question – would we buy the Samsung Gear Fit?The curved smartwatch definitely has a lot of appeal – the curved display look stylish on the wrist whilst viewing notifications and information is easy t...
Abstract: Thinking of buying a smartwatch to go with your Samsung Galaxy smartphone? Chances are you've seen the adverts for Samsung's range of new smartwatches which were announced at Mobile World Congress 2014 earlier this year.Whilst there's very little differen...
Abstract: Thinking of buying a smartphone to go with your Samsung Galaxy smartphone? By now you've probably seen the adverts for Samsung's new range of smartwatches but deciding which one to buy can be a challenge.Do you buy the Gear Fit with it's curved AMOLED dis...
The Gear Fit's curved Super AMOLED display looks great, and it's responsive and bright too. It wraps around your wrist, making for a more natural fit than other smartwatches. Inside, it's easy to read, but sunlight completely kills the screen. That means
While Samsung has pretty much nailed the hardware, the software leaves a lot to be desired. It runs Samsung's own OS – not Tizen or Android – which means it can't use thirdparty apps. This really limits what it can do, The battery life is middling at best
The Gear Fit looks the part, but when it comes to results, it doesn't make the podium. Like many Samsung devices, it's a jack of all trades, master of none. Its fitness skills are left wanting, while the screen is too cramped to make it a decent smartwatc...
Abstract: Samsung's latest smartwatch range has not one but three new models and the most interesting is that fitness band, the Samsung Gear Fit. Thanks to the folks at Samsung, our review unit has arrived and I'm eager to take this for a spin.First things first, l...
Great screen, Decent design, Smooth performance, Good fitness features, Water proof
Specifically pairs with Samsung S Health equipped smartphone (Galaxy S5) and doesn't do anything the phone can't do, Expensive
So what do I reckon then? Well, one thing which really colours my viewpoint is the price. I've seen it go for as low as £150 in a few places online, but Samsung's RRP of £199 appears to be more common across the web and that's quite steep for what you ...
