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 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
In case I didn't make it obvious already, I won't be recommending the Gear Fit to you. It has some really cool tech inside, like the AMOLED display, but the fitness side of things is far from being anywhere near where it needs to be. There are all sorts...

No. Absolutely not. This incredibly promising device is utterly ruined by bad software. Also, its $200. If Samsung does a major software overhaul—and I mean from the ground up—then it could be a great device. But for now, the fact that it only works with...
Abstract: The Samsung Gear Fit looks amazing and is something I want to love, but it has so many shortcomings that I simply can't recommend this device to anyone that's looking to use it as part of a fitness plan. There are a lot of gadgets that you can wear on you...

Abstract: Most of the fitness-based wearables we've seen so far have been very different from smartwatches. And one of the few attempts to blend the two, the Fitbit Force , ended up getting recalled (damn those skin rashes). Enter Samsung, which never met a mobile ...
Super-cool curved display, Notifications work as advertised, Attractive design (if you like ultra-modern)
Inaccurate data logging, Confusing, opaque interface functions, Poor battery life
Half activity tracker, half smartwatch, the Gear Fit shows Samsung understands addition by subtraction. Sadly, though, its exercise tracking is inaccurate. Let's hope a firmware update fixes this soon....

Samsung's Gear Fit leaves us torn. On the one hand, it's the most space-age and glamorous of the wrist-worn wearables we've tested so far, with the genuinely pleasing curved AMOLED display seeing us tapping and swiping for their own sake. It makes Pebbl...
Killer style, Extremely light, you can almost forget you are wearing it, Gorgeous curved Super AMOLED display, Rich notification system, Water and dustresistant, you can even shower with it
Fitness tracking is not on par with others: exercise tracking and pedometer are less accurate, Compatibility limited to Samsung devices only, Pricey, Heartsensor is dishearteningly slow, Sleep tracking does not yield much usable data
The Samsung Gear Fit price is set at the costly $199 (€199 in Europe), nearly double the price of entry-level fitness trackers, and higher than even the pricey $130 Fitbit Force and $150 Nike FuelBand+. It’s also costlier than the $150 Pebble smartwatc...
Supports only Samsung device, Can't connect to social network, Inconsistent heart rate monitor performanc, No third-party apps
Think of the Gear Fit as smartwatch version 1.5. The $199 device demonstrates that Samsung knows there's an appetite for combining the functions of a smartwatch and a fitness tracker in a single device. We especially like the futuristic-chic design and...
Too many charging components, Limited to Samsung devices, Angle of screen is slightly awkward
The Samsung Gear Fit is the best fitness wearable to hit the market, and you'll find instant value in the notifications typically only found on a smartwatch...
