I don't know who else does this but before buying a product, especially tech, I like to watch every single review I can and out of all the ones I've watched, this was by far the best one. Thank you so much for the great insight you provided
I do that!! Although less so now that I am reviewing so many products. I try to gear my videos towards people like you, who are thinking about buying but want to take the watch for a "test drive" and see all the features and software before you purchase. Then, hopefully, once you purchase, you will know how to customize everything and how to use all the best features. Thanks for the kind comment!!
You're the best reviewer i came across. The description of the video is so perfect with timeline jumping. Your video helped a lot in making the purchase decision.❤
Really nice review. Even though I'm not into smart watches but you still got my sub for the awesome explanation. I have ordered this today as my first smart watch after watching your video.
Great review. Thanks. Do you have to set it to sleep or will it automatically record your sleep? You had mentioned to push the button for sleep. Thanks
It will automatically record your sleep. You can also set a sleeping mode when paired with a Samsung phone. In the mode you can specify many things like turn on DND, dim waatch screen, turn off room lights and set the mode to a particular schedule if you want.
Every one of your review is very detailed and thorough. By watching your review, I get enough idea as if I test drive myself. Great work and really appreciate your effort! Thank you!
I love watching ALL the details of my new devices before I buy them- I'm glad that I'm not the only one! I try to give you a "test drive" in my videos and I'm so glad you got that feeling. Thank you for the kind comment!! ☺️
How does it not show images? Even my Fit 2 would show a small version. I've been holding onto my Fold 2 because I heard that it isn't supported by the newer Folds and I have been waiting on the Fit 3. I mainly use it for notifications, finding my phone, and step tracking. I like that there is no subscription service.
Samsung definitely watered down the software on this one. Think of it as a fitness watch with some smart watch features, like the notifications and basic replies. I think this will work for you but when you get the notification you will probably need to access your phone.
@@techgadgets100 the other day I tried connecting my Fit 2 to a Fold 6 and it went through the whole process of connecting only to give a pop up message saying anything after 2024 won't be supported and it not connect. I just thought it odd that we are in 2024 and it wouldn't allow it. That and they crushed the release of the Fit 3 to not even market it in the US. Not everyone wants a full on watch but I guess that is the way of the world.
@@anubus6 You are right, no direct sales in US. However, in the video I used the international version that I bought on Amazon and it works perfect in US. 🙂
The prices are pretty close if you watch for sales. Features are close but Samsung gives better integration with Samsung phones and offers safety features like SOS and fall detection, so if that's important then worth it. If not interested in those features and don't have Samsung phone then band 7 would be better and probably cheaper.
@@techgadgets100 thanks for your reply! I got the Fit 3 for almost the same price as Band 7 so I have decided to go with it after watching both your videos. I do have a Samsung phone + the metal build seemed better. But would still be cool to see a comparison at some point :D Subbed!
I just checked, under $50 in US, definitely worth it! especially if you have a Samsung phone then you get all the features. But keep in mind this is more of a fitness watch not a smartwatch.
I am not sure. I have the international version. Sometimes the available features change depending on what country you are in. If it is not there then there is no one to add it, sorry.
I have not reviewed the Mi Band 8 pro but the specs seem similar except that the Mi band 8 pro adds built in GPS tracking. If you have Samsung phone, I would lean towards the fit 3 for better integration. But you would probably be happy with either- get the cheaper one?
@@techgadgets100 😂 Honestly it would be really helpful if you reviewed it, in that price range both are the best and apart from the gps, I haven't been able to discern if 8 pro is better despite watching many videos. Thanks for the help though!
When recording a workout can you change the music? My xiomi mi band 6 and 7 cam do that and its a mist have because i lioe to change yhe music on my watch while working out
Does this watch store more than a day of fitness data? I have the Fit 2 and it only holds the current day of data so if you don't sync it continuously/daily, you lose the data. I tend to prefer manually syncing rather than it linked to bluetooth all the time.
I was testing it because I did not find anything online about this. But when I went to connect it again I was reminded by Samsung that I got a new phone since I last paired the Fit 3 and would have to reset the Fit 3 to pair it to my new phone- so all the data was lost!! 😩 Will try this experiment again, and update you.
OK, I tried hard to get you an answer. First off, there is no way to disconnect BT from the watch to your phone. Only way to do it is to turn off BT from the phone completely, if I tried to turn on one device the Fit automatically connected and synced. My phone is connected to like a 100 devices through BT, so could not keep off (I tried...). After finding nothing online to answer this, I contacted Samsung directly. They said if BT is off, the data will be lost. So maybe turn BT in once at night? I hope that helps, and I hope I earned a subscribe and like 🙏😀
thank you so much. this was a great help to my decision. can it be linked to facebook messenger messages so i get notifications and reply? and can i toggle through my music in spotify using it?
you can get notifications from any app on your phone, but you can only reply with premade quick messages. Any music playing on your phone can be controlled by the watch, Spotify, RUclips, etc. I am glad the video was helpful, thanks for the feedback! 😀
i wish one day a Samsung watch just like this comes out in a circular case like the galaxy watch that would be my perfect watch "Watch" just a heartsensor and im good.

That's smart
I prefer the Fit 3 over the Watch 6. Thr sensors seemsmore accurate and the battery life is much better.
I found the sensors to be very close. But the Fit 3 is MUCH cheaper and much better battery life. It's a great value.
You're the best reviewer i came across. The description of the video is so perfect with timeline jumping. Your video helped a lot in making the purchase decision.❤
You are too kind! Hearing that my videos are helpful means so much to me! 😊 Thank you!
Amazing Review, thank you. Made my Order this week, can't wait. Been a hustle looking for the right watch for a while.
Thank you! 😊
I'm so glad that the video helped! 🙂
Enjoy your new watch!
Really nice review. Even though I'm not into smart watches but you still got my sub for the awesome explanation. I have ordered this today as my first smart watch after watching your video.
Thank you so much! Now that I got you started, my goal is to get you to buy a new smart watch or two every year! 😊
@techgadgets100 haha sounds great. Looking forward to it.

Just seen your amazfit band 7 video, would you say this worth the extra cost?

Features are close but Samsung gives better integration with Samsung phones and offers safety features like SOS and fall detection, so if that's important then worth it. If not interested in those features and don't have Samsung phone then band 7 would be better and probably cheaper.

So do you think this watch is worth the money? Because im deciding on buying a new watch

why I don't have a camera remote to my galaxy fit3
I am not sure. I have the international version. Sometimes the available features change depending on what country you are in. If it is not there then there is no one to add it, sorry.
Would you recommend Mi Smart Band 8 Pro or this? I'm really undecided.
I have not reviewed the Mi Band 8 pro but the specs seem similar except that the Mi band 8 pro adds built in GPS tracking. If you have Samsung phone, I would lean towards the fit 3 for better integration. But you would probably be happy with either- get the cheaper one?

The Galaxy fit 3 is now 50 😮
@@techgadgets100can you do a comparison between the two. The Galaxy is now 50😮
Does the watch work good when you are running outdoors
I found it to be very accurate but remember there is no GPS, so need to bring your phone with you if you want that info.
@@techgadgets100 taking my phone with me is no problem. Is galaxy fit 3 better than huawei band 9?
Nice review I'm going to get one soon.
Thank you! Enjoy your new watch!
Thanks I will.
When recording a workout can you change the music? My xiomi mi band 6 and 7 cam do that and its a mist have because i lioe to change yhe music on my watch while working out
Yes, just swipe to the left! I just double checked for you.
Can you create short notes in the fit 3?
No. there is no keyboard and no voice memo.
Does this watch store more than a day of fitness data? I have the Fit 2 and it only holds the current day of data so if you don't sync it continuously/daily, you lose the data. I tend to prefer manually syncing rather than it linked to bluetooth all the time.

Can the fitness tracker operate independently of a mobile device?
Yes and no. It will keep track of your HR, steps, etc. but without a phone you will not get any GPS info. Also no notifications.
Does it track your daily heart rate like on a graft and store it?
It will track your heart rate and basic charting available in Samsung health. You can also export that info.
thank you so much. this was a great help to my decision. can it be linked to facebook messenger messages so i get notifications and reply? and can i toggle through my music in spotify using it?

I think that would be a great idea!
It would eat the sales of the Galaxy 6 but yes I agree if you need one with a more classy design I would recommend the tozo s 5
Can you install apps and games on the fit3???
Sorry, no. Pretty basic interface.
Is it compatible with iPhone!
No, sorry.
Can you answer your phone and read messages off the watch?
No mic or speaker. So can't make or take phone calls. You can respond to texts with premade quick replies.
why I don't have a camera remote in my galaxy fit3
@@arlenetajan9266 sorry, the fit 3 doesn't have a camera app.
@@arlenetajan9266Thats odd. I have one but i have to scroll up to find it. One of useful feature especially if ur not using Samsung ultra
It has but works only with samsung phone
Is it compatible with Xiaomi phone ?
Only Samsung phones, sorry.
Not compatible with ios, right?
Nope, sorry.

Thank you!!
Huawei Band by Samsung :((
Samsung decided that it was missing out on the fitness band $$$.
