I cycled for 75 mins(16km) with my mi band 3 tracking my heartbeat, calories burned, distance travelled and time. It only consumed 5 percent of the battery
This was a good review, the fit isn't my choice of Samsung wearables, but it comes with the phone I ordered, and I'll definatly use it as a trial run to see if i want to invest in another wearable product
I'll stick with my gear fit2 pro. The only issue I've had are the bands glue fall apart after 16 months (the issue I'm experiencing now) but you can get cheap replacements on Amazon or swap for a new one if you got the product replacement warranty from best buy. Other than that, I've had no problems
Thanks for your timely review. Was considering a Xiaomi Mi Band 4 when or if available. Maybe the Samsung fitness band e might be another choice for me.
6 day battery life, just okay? Lol. I get what you're saying with the long charge time for such a small tracker, I'd say the battery life is pretty damn good and if you just throw it on the charger for 20 minutes every day while showering and getting ready for work, it should be just about enough to keep it pretty charged up. I have a Galaxy Watch (46mm) and so far, I've only been getting 2 days out of it. I use AOD though. Anyway, thanks for the review. I just got one of these for my wife for Valentine's Day and it was only $69.99 on Amazon. Hoping she likes it!
is this band compatible with other mobile liked motorola, Redmi or Realme ?? can we use this with other applications like Nike running / google fit etc. ??
My Unit stopped all apps when I changed the damaged wrist watch original band How can I be able to use the galaxy fit again or restore all the apps thanks
So far from watching a few videos, the only plus to this compared to a fitbit is that it can find your samsung galaxy phone. From one video review, the phone will ring even if the phone is on silent or vibrate?
Might be a silly question to ask, but am i able to wear this and go for a run without my phone and it still record my run? I personally dont like having to carry my bulky phone while running around the neighborhood and if possible, like to leave it at home during the half hour I run.
I want a smartwatch that has an accurate heartbeat monitor and I am between Galaxy Active , Galaxy Fit and Garmin Vivoactive 3 . What do you recommend?
The galaxy fit fits very snug on your wrist and provides good heart rate reading, but compared to the other 2 you mentioned it has far less features overall. Any other things you’re looking for?
Simple, Xiaomi is a Chinese company. A country which blocks many Americans social networks in the name of preventing the Americans from having Chinese data. So why would I buy something that basically tracks my daily life and send it there?
@@mahatana_r most of the apple products and Samsung are made in China only they are always a part of China be it battery or camera that is made in China
this is a dumb question as the battery life is not the best but I'm wondering if you can connect bt headphones to it like how you can on galaxy watches.
If I turn of auto does it mean it won't track my steps at all? I'm wondering does it calculate the first 10 minutes of your workout when it's not showing on the screen?
I got the fit and the steps were resetting around 10am. I contacted Samsung and they said it might be a issue with the band and I might need to return it. I did and got another one. This one reset at 7am. Any ideas? I love this band but come on this is crazy.
About the battery life, I think that it's good for a band like this, 6 days or even 7! But about the charging time, it's normal for a watch that its battery takes 6 days to die! You can watch a film while this or do whatever you want! ;)
Its the only fitness band with wireless charging, no docking with clicing that brake,🐔 No pinns that go broke or get lose, man even it it would take 4 or 5 hours it would be still worth it, normaly you do this in youre sleep anyway, and a 30 min charge would still get you to the day im guessing
How you set your sleep tracking? Mine always stated no sleep record even im wearing it overnight. Any companion app other than samsung health needed to track sleep automatically?
What kind of phone were you connected to when you used the quick response to the message? I want to know if the replying to messages feature works with a non-Samsung Android phone.
Excellent review Shane you just earned yourself a new subscriber, but I have a question is the accuracy of the other exercises such as push up, arm curls etc quite accurate rather than just the basics such as running,cycling
Great review! Congrats! I'm buying a ones because my Fitbit Ionic is dead... I have a Gear S3 too, but its battery life is not great for all day and sleep tracking and it's bulkier to sleep with him. Tell us about the sleep tracking report! Is it able to track "sleep stages" (REM, deep sleep etc)? Thank you so much!
Hi Shane, have you used a Fitbit Charge 3? I should be picking up my Galaxy Fit today but I'm still contemplating returning it to pick up the Charge 3 SE. I can get it for pretty much the same price as the Galaxy Fit. Thoughts if you have experience with both?
MadWhack187 I had a Fitbit charge 2, no experience with the 3. I honestly don’t know what changed on the 3 over the 2, but the fit provides a lot more interaction with the device over the charge 2, the amoled screen is very appealing to look at, and the fit is a much smaller form factor and feels very comfortable. Only downside which isn’t to the fault of the fit itself is that almost everybody I know who owns a Fitness tracker has a Fitbit so you won’t be able to do challenges with friends if that’s important to you. So far I am enjoying the fit, I’m just still trying to gauge from a value perspective if $100 is a good price for it
@@ShaneSymonds Thanks Shane, I'm also enjoying the fit a lot. The only things I miss from my Gear S3 are: - Multiple Alarms (and snooze mode lol) - Multiple Timers - Ability to delete emails straight from the fit. - I seem to have to manually open the Samsung Health app for it to sync my sleep/data. I switched a few settings and will retest tonight. Otherwise I'm fine with the price; it does what I want it to do.
Okay my watch resets steps around 9 or 10 am but Samsung health resets at midnight as always like I'm use to.. this means the phone and watch end up reading different steps and it bugs the shit out of me. What gives?? Can I not change the time the watch resets???
Will this be able to connect to the fitbit app because my parents both have fitbits and they want me to get one but I can't rlly find a fitbit that I like so I hope this will connect
How to track my Samsung fit??I bought it just 5days and I lost it..but I could see how many steps everyday because I connected it on samsung health app
@@ShaneSymonds nice I was looking for this info too ! Also can it detect if you are in freestyle, breast stroke,... (basically the different swim styles) ?
Nice review! I'm very happy with mine. Just a little bugged that it doesn't take advantage of any wireless charger, but only the one included. Also I really don't know why you have those glitched notification icons... I don't see it mentioned a lot, but it has a widget with timer and chronometer functions.
Hey bro how we can charge this watch. Bcz I am facing a problems for charging this watch sometime charger is working and more of time charger is not working. I just buy this watch one month before. Could you help me please. Why it's happening??

or anywhere else except the US hehe
Aw man again at the rescue. First you posted the video for the red Galaxy buds plus recently. Now this. You're awesome, dude. Great work! Thanks!
Heart rate monitors on wrists suffer from “hairy wrists” affecting the reading sensor. The hair on your arm interferes with the light on the sensor
Wouldn't u think that the people knew that
Z9ATY At least he noticed that! I didn't notice this until he said it in the comments!
Need to wax it off
Got it at the Black Friday sale for half the price. It is a good device, and Samsung keeps adding useful updates.
it's currently on sale for $35
thank you for the review
I'm getting this over the Xiaomi mi band 4
omg where?
Rushier Ivan I got it in Lazada (Philippines) the sale is over.
it is very fun to use but I wish I could answer phone calls with it
It may be galaxy fit e
Bibin Bhaskar nope, I got it in white.
JPT is it Black and White or with colors
I cycled for 75 mins(16km) with my mi band 3 tracking my heartbeat, calories burned, distance travelled and time.
It only consumed 5 percent of the battery
i'd get a mi band 3 myself but the screen brightness is worrying, is it decent? and does the band generally work well?
@@kinazura590 tbh the screen brightness is not the best at that price.
Works well indoors and at night but a bit difficult to see outdoors(daytime)
Can it track your running without your phone nearby?
Got this and the galaxy buds with my Samsung Galaxy note 10 plus
How is the experience with the wearable? I got the note 10 plus with the buds. Thinking to with this versus the active 2 due to the cost.
Does it work with strava
You say 2:45 charging is long?
My phone charges 6to7 hours
By todays standard of quick charging on phones, almost 3 hour charge time is a very long time.
@@ShaneSymonds ohw damn. I still have the s2😭 this thing takes 6to7 hours and it last not even 12 hours
My GearFit2 only takes an hour Max!!!
@@PS-bo6bv lol, S10 Plus from 0 to 100 in 1 hr 45 min aprox.

did you try it already? how was it?
Hi! I wanted to know, are these waterproof for swimming?
I'll stick with my gear fit2 pro.

Thanks for the video! Got this for xmas and I think its really neat! Its nice to see all the functionality in this video.
Had no idea this existed. Had the watch for while but would much prefer just a fitness band. This seems perfect tbh
Thanks for your timely review. Was considering a Xiaomi Mi Band 4 when or if available. Maybe the Samsung fitness band e might be another choice for me.
I ordered the global version of the xiaomi band 4 on eBay for $44 yesterday. Allegedly will arrive mid July.
I'd like to see a comparison of this, the xiaomi band 4 & the honor band 4. The two Chinese bands are in the $40-50 range.
B Fish this video will be made but I am waiting on both of those bands to arrive
@@bfish9700 funny thing is honor band 5 is cheaper than the 4
Hold on what phone is that on 0:58
i thought a a80 but it doesnt have a cut out on the top in the case
or does it
One plus 7 pro
After watching this and all the other competitors I ordered charge 3 and I am really satisfied with it.
The charge 3 will count your steps while driving
6 day battery life, just okay? Lol. I get what you're saying with the long charge time for such a small tracker, I'd say the battery life is pretty damn good and if you just throw it on the charger for 20 minutes every day while showering and getting ready for work, it should be just about enough to keep it pretty charged up.

how does the fit caculate the calories burned? i heard that the bpm is not part in samsung's calculation.
Samsung's interface and design is better than Mi Band 4. But the fit is expensive.(I THİNK)
But I think. How much did you get?
not at all
Even mi band 3 has 20 days battery life.
@@abdulkerimaslan2157 I got my gear fit 2 pro for $260.45
Mi band 4 is 250 turkish liras, galaxy fit is 600 turkish liras. I have no chance of buying galaxy fit.
So after all would you recommend it? Or do you think that the slow battery charge is uncomfortable?
Can you change the wallpaper on this one like the original Samsung Gear Fit?
is this band compatible with other mobile liked motorola, Redmi or Realme ?? can we use this with other applications like Nike running / google fit etc. ??
Galaxy fit: "Samsung, other Android: Android 5.0 or higher & RAM 1.5GB above
iPhone: iPhone 7 and above, iOS 10.0 or above" - samsung.com
Can you track your pace while jogging ?
Im torn between this and the fitbit inspire HR, ive been using fitbit for 7 yrs but ive been using a samsung phone for 10 yrs.
Which did you go with? And any advice you can give as i am trying to decide between the same 2
How affective is the alarm vibration when you use it?
can it be used for swimming, showering etc..? still working well?
Does it's fitness features is only shown in Mobile app or in band itself and does it shows weather
@Shane Symonds does this have a stopwatch?
This is great, but its 2 tines more expensive than mi band series while not being 2 times better.
Fair point. Just got the fit E so we'll see what Samsung is packing for $50
Make it 3 times more expensive!
Thanks, great help! This sounds perfect for my use.
Does it have always on display ?
If so how long does it last with it on ?
Good review! Your voice sounds a bit like Tom Hanks. Good voice by the way.

It is made of glass, and you have to get a screen protector, though these are not easy to find.
Is it true that after firmware upgrade the galaxy fit can control music which is playing on the phone. Have they added a new widget?
Does the samsung fit band and samsung buds connect at the same time from samsung wearable ?
Hey brother i need your help , I can't update my fit 😟 i tried many times but after 15 or 20% charge it become exclamation sign again 😣
Yeah as he said, or charge it to 100%

This was helpful. Thank you
While tracking running, do you need to have your phone with you or can we run phone-free?
Phone free. Just keep the watch on
Do this count steps while you drive as the charge 3 does?

Hi can I use galaxy fit without smartphone after I have set it up?
check the wall converter your plugging it into, your probably giving it less than 1.0watt/5volt and that why its taking you so long to charge.
thanks for the review! During swimming training can it display the interval time when paused? For interval training.
