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'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
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
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
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.
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 $69.99 on Amazon. Hoping she likes it!
Great review! Congrats! I'm buying a ones because my Fitbit Ionic is dead... I have a Gear S3 too, but its battery life is not great for all day and sleep tracking and it's bulkier to sleep with him. Tell us about the sleep tracking report! Is it able to track "sleep stages" (REM, deep sleep etc)? Thank you so much!
Might be a silly question to ask, but am i able to wear this and go for a run without my phone and it still record my run? I personally dont like having to carry my bulky phone while running around the neighborhood and if possible, like to leave it at home during the half hour I run.
I really liked my Mi Band 2, bought the mi band 3 and I am pretty hyped for the Mi Band 4. The Mi Fit App is a bit weird but I think a Mi Band is a better deal than this Samsung Band für 100$
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
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?
Great review! Thanks a lot! You have a new subscriber :) P.s. Is it possible to connect the Fit with the Edomondo app? Or maybe the Galaxy Active is capable of that? Also, is it possible to turn off the pause function when training? Thank you in advance
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?
@@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) ?
Looks like they've made improvements in the software, that's why it's so polished and smooth now, I got mine about a month ago. It was perfect until I got a security patch update on my S10 from Verizon. After that, it stopped getting notifications at all, had to mess with it, uninstalling and reinstalling apps, plugin apk's, deleting my phone's cache partition, several band resets, etc. It did that for almost 2 weeks, until last night, I got it working with a band reset, uninstall and reinstall of the Wearable App and newest Fit Plugin APK, and some oddly timed connection stops and starts. It also wouldn't seem to want to read my heart rate while on my left wrist after it started acting up, I think that was a big issue it was having, maybe something in the software or firmware got changed and it wasn't communicating with the sensors, and didn't know it was on my wrist 🤷🏻♂️ Took it off and charged it this morning, and when I put it back on, was really afraid it wouldn't be working again, but to my surprise, it's been Perfect since I got it working right again, thank God 🙌🏻 Now I've almost forgotten I'm wearing it again lol. Also, battery life for me is right around 7-8 days and I rarely take it off. I Really dig this tracker, it's not perfect, but nothing is going to be for under $100 (I paid $60 for mine, from Walmart online) But as far as these trackers go, I'd still take this over the Mi Band 4 and the rest. Glad it's working perfectly again and doesn't miss notifications or anything, and is reading my HR and Stress levels flawlessly 👍🏻 Good review
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. ??
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.
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.
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
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?
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
this isn't just a tracker, it's also a watch with apps... a jr samsung watch really - so you can add 3rd party apps as well as samsung via the app store. - so I would agree, for just tracking running sure it's better, for everything else it's in a category of it's own really.
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??
Hey, I just got the galaxy Samsung fit, I have it set to Galaxy fit steps. My phone is reading 200 more steps more then my step counter on my tracker? Wondering if their was a reason, also I notice on yours you have a stress widget, I dont have the option to have a stress widget, is their someway to get it?
I'm thinking about doing a video solely on step testing lol because people have so many different results . And honestly don't even worry about the stress feature, it has been a gimmick in my testing.
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.
