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
Part smartwatch, part fitness tracker, Very, very pretty, Smartwatch notifications are nicely done
Needs a supported Samsung device, Requires two apps to use fully, Short battery life

Attractive curved screen and good looks, lightweight, changeable strap, water and dust proof

The Gear Fit has a forward-looking design, many more extras than the average fitness band, and the ability to measure heart rate. Its curved AMOLED display looks fantastic, too
The long display means text reads awkwardly on your wrist. The Fit only works with certain Samsung phones. Can't load apps, so you're stuck with the features included. And the price is high, so much so that you might consider a cheaper alternative or the
The Samsung Gear Fit is a great-looking wearable that doesn't quite successfully reconcile its dual roles as activity tracker and smartwatch....
Water resistant, Decent battery life, Useful as a second screen
Heart rate monitor doesn't always work, No third-party apps
Wearables are still a bit of a difficult subject. While they are still yet to enrich our lives like the smartphone has, they remain massively cool gadgets.The Gear Fit sits right at the top of the cool pile, delivering just enough functionality to justify...
