No update can make it have GPS. I bought it so it seemed more convenient to bring a band instead of my phone while riding a bike or running, but it still needs me to bring my phone for it to work. I had to spend a similar price again to get a Huawei Band 4 Pro because of the GPS. It lacks several Samsung features, but it's better for what I bought it for
@@AreYouKenneth for GPS features and features for running and cycling a more advanced (and potentially expensive) smart watch might be better. Something like Garmin or other brands focused on details and accuracy. Have fun!
Same here, don't need anything fancy, just need a heartrate monitor and steps walked. Does the job just fine! Who cares about 3 days battery life when your phone wont even last a day lol! Above all only costs £29 now...
@@naveenpal9312 As accurate as the one on my Samsung note 8, which is within+- 1 heartbeat of the one I was hooked up to last year in hospital. So very good!
my uncle got me this watch for Christmas and it perfectly fits my needs..... For me as a basic person this watch charges really fast on a normal charger and stays for almost 4 days in my knowledge...... I feel that this is a perfect gift for teenagers for Christmas since it is almost half the price of the Samsung galaxy fit and other fitness watches so in that price all its features are great......
Got this in February and its perfect for me. I love it, it does everything I need perfectly and I can even set my timetable on this so I know what lesson I have next. 4:30- It's not a weird lift movement- I just rotate my wrist in my direction and it turns on. You can just be resting your arm on the table and flick the band towards you- don't even lift it and it tells me the time.
My previous watch was a more expensive one - the Fitbit Versa. my strap broke so instead of buying one i got this basic Samsung Fit E because of how cheap it is and I'm loving it. it's lighter and has only the essential things. Seems accurate on counting steps and measuring the pulse. i don't mind that i have to set the alarms from the smartphone. I have the Samsung S10 and it integrates well with it.
I just picked one up for £20, I haven't got round to testing it out yet but on first impression I'm actually really happy, I dont need anything fancy and for someone who only needs the basic fitness tracking this thing seems awesome, Dont understand you saying "lack of features" this has everything I need plus more and can imagine it being the same case for many other users....
Yeah, that came as a surprise to me too. The apps are not bad in fact, but that's too much in my opinion. Thank you so much for your support Sergij - I can see how often you come by and share your opinion for each video - this is a delight and honor!
Honestly I was looking for a band that do the basics without even a screen as I love to wear my regular watches .. I found this one to be perfect for my needs and not really interested in a bigger or colored screen.. the heart rate accuracy is good and it deducts all the movement and sleep properly as well as its compatable with my samsung mobile
@@TechMishka Yeah , you are right and by the way there is a real shortage of the screen-less bands in the current market although some brands used to manufacture them before ..
This is my first smart phone and I set it up very quickly. As you say initially I thought there was something wrong with the phone as it did not respond to tapping until I set that up. Its also possible to change the length of time the screen remains lit up for after a tapping . I like that it vibrates when I receive a message with identity of the sender and also alerts me when I receive a call. This is especially useful when I have my phone on silent. The only thing I am really disappointed with is the fact that it doesn't have a find my phone feature ( at least I cant find it )which my friend has on an even cheaper watch . It is possible to find the watch from the phone which is of no use to me .
Most likely being unable to find it could be caused by some permissions not granted - you can check once again in the app if some more permissions are needed.
I love this tracker too. I just need something that will track my activity and heartrate and send it to s healt because i don't have my phone on me 24/7 and i looooove this app. So this tracker is really all i need. Got a fitbit versa 2 before. Was way to much for me.
Good review man. I have a few question tho 1. Is the calorie burnt measurement personalised according to personal info entered in Samsung Health app, or does it have a general equation for everyone? 2. Does it track steps walked and calories burnt on its own? Or do you have to connect it to your phone every time?
1. It is personalized based on the data you enter. 2. It tracks the data and syncs with the phone once they are connected. No need to keep them together all the time.
Got it for 20 euros on amazon. Really cool watch. The newest firmware updates seems to have addressed the majority of the issues. It now goes through just the Wearable app + a health app (in my case, Samsung Health) but I am on a Samsung phone so I am not sure if that's why. The heartbeat sensor is automatically set to 10 minutes interval to save battery. Same with brightness, it is available now. I have the much more high end 46mm samsung smart watch and this is a nice companion watch in case you are going to an attraction park or w.e. With Samsung Health, both watches are synced so it will still update the sleeping, heartrate etc.
Hey Anneke, thank you for raking the time to share all that! I also believe the firmware has enhanced a lot the features and accuracy, and that's why the tracker was included in the Top 5 Trackers below $50 chart ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IvsXWQmIBtw.html
I got huawei band 3 pro im happy with it vibrating when its coming call,message all notifications even comment in my RU-vid,fb,whatsap,tiktok,etc. watching from Dubai
Hiii. I liked your opinion. You know what, I am a swimmer and I have the Galaxy Watch and I use it to swim, nevertheless I was very upset about how much the watch can resist the water if I swim everyday with it. So yesterday I got this Galaxy Fit E. Actually I just want it to swim and really hope it works and detects automatically the workout when I'm in the pool. I will let you know, hehe. :)
Bought two, both have the same issue. If the user gets out of the Bluetooth range, the device disconnects and cannot connect until the restart... which is a little bit hard due to lack of the power button. In one word, its battery life is really long if you have to discharge it.
Good video thanks, I aimt getting this, any alternatives you know to this like Huawei? Cheap ish and music player is all I want. And customisable display ish
Tech4All : Thanks Michael ! Great video on the Samsung Galaxy Fit E Fitness Tracker..... With your “Honesty is the Best Policy” attitude towards this less than stellar performing fitness tracker.....Always appreciated by viewers and subscribers alike , for telling us the straight goods on what one shall expect.....Upon purchasing the Samsung Galaxy Fit E Fitness Tracker ! Thanks Scarboro 🇨🇦🌲🍀✌️🦋🐝🍁💚
Tooooom! 😎👍 I missed your awesome additions. How are you? I thought for a while you may be away for a vacation. Glad to see you back, and thanks a lot for the excellent summary here. Cheers!
My Steps are different on my watch, than on my Samsung phone - any ideas?? My hours slept are also incorrect as it adds on about 2 hours (I know this because I have checked exactly what time I try to start sleeping, and what time I wake up)
Very good news! And indeed - much better than it used to be, That's why it made it to the top 5 trackers video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IvsXWQmIBtw.html
Do you have any experience with the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5? All I want is a heart rate monitor during my walks. I can't get this one to 'pair.' I don't really want it to pair cause I'm not interested in apps, historical date, playing music, or seeing texts/emails. Any recommendations? Thanks.
I am just struggling with the brightness when using outdoors, especially when running. Cannot see the screen. I have bumped the brightness slider to its maximum but still disappointed with the outcome.
I still can't figure out why it shows inaccurate steps. I'm sitting and it increases steps by 100! Can you help me out? I tried everything. Also, your video has been very helpful, thanks :)
Are you doing any movements while sitting? That can lead to increased step count; Another possibility is the steps that are being added to be older records that get synced with the tracker. SOme fitness bands update the steps counter every several minutes. If you sit for 1 hour and the counter remains the same - it's alright.
@@TechMishka Yeah well I don't sit still lol. I think that must be the case. Now the steps are being tracked accurately though. Thanks for checking back. :)
Huawei Band 4 Pro has integrated GPS so I don't have to bring my cell phone to my outdoor cycling. What's the point of these bands with no GPS? I bought a band so I don't need to bring my phone outside while I run or ride, but Samsung makes me bring my phone anyway by not putting GPS in its bands. Better buy a Huawei Band 4 Pro
Hey Kenneth, really glad to hear that you enjoy your Huawei Band 4 Pro. Extraordinary good device! The Fit e on the other hand is smaller and uses another kind of app ecosystem; Much better suitable for iPhones for isntance.
This shows that it can measure BP but I am not able to use it. It always show average bp on app.can anyone please tell me how to measure bp from this band?
Hello ~ I am facing some issues when I start the walking as a workout ( not as counting steps ) , it doesn't measure the distance neither the speed ( I walk in the rooftop and the phone is on a chair near me ), but it start counting them when I have my phone in my pocket , did anybody face the same issue !?
If you need speed measuring - you have to be outdoors and you need the phone to move together with you - because then the band will "borrow" the phone's GPS data.
I found the apps that you had to have on my phone drained the battery and used my minutes, and like ytou say it just told me how many steps I did, You don't need the apps for it to tell you that, so I just deleted 'em off and use the watch.
How about how to track may lost samsung fit??I bought it and used for 5days after I lost it..but I can see how many steps everyday because its connected to my Samsung Health App..Anyone can help me to track it??😥😥😥
How can you complain about a $50 smartwatch like AT ALL. at $50 just telling the time and doing notifications would be good. This thing is waterproof and tracks exercise and heart rate to boot. Bargain, even if it has a couple of minor failings.
If I may defend my complaints - there are trackers that cost less and offer more (colorful AMOLED screen, SPO2 tracking, 20 days battery life, etc). But Samsung improved the Fit E a lot with firmware updates, and it made it to 2020's top 5 trackers! 😇🙃
Well - sort of. I always treat tech with respect. A few months later - I can say that this tracker is better than what it used to be, and you will see it showing up in a video about best trackers below $50 😉
@@TechMishka Just a quick Q, can you change the music volume that is playing out on your phone with this tracker? Pivotal for me for gym stuff. Thanks!
Lmao what do you expect for 35 USD? Don't compare it with a 350 dollar smart watch. I know it's cheap so it's not the best. So do a review keeping in mind the price.
Exactly! I had to return the Mi Band 4 after 1 week because it gradually started to invent heart rate values around 75-90 no matter who was wearing it or what he was doing at the time (like running). Now I own the Samsung product and it simply delivers whats promised. Mi Band is compelling, but really if you think about it what is the benefit over the Samsung? Colored display? Who needs that. Downloadable Watchfaces? All of them are ugly with comic or anime figures or simply trash. The only decent one I have seen is the default one. Music control? I can do that with the physical buttons on my cable. Countdown/Stop Watch? Poorly implemented. You cannot leave them in order to see the time/steps/heart rate. The only downside is that (unless you rely on autodetection) have to use the Samsung app to start a workout. But if you are doing workouts that regularly that it becomes annoying, you will probably be willing to spend around two to three times as much money in order to get a device that allows you to do that.
Only trying to be fair. I think I give enough justifications. But - after a few firmware updates the tracker got significantly better and made it to the top 5 trackers below $50: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IvsXWQmIBtw.html
@@TechMishka Pre order stuffies hahaha... Basically it's a steal? But worth it because it free. It comes with my pre ordered Galaxy A50s here in the Philippines. Sorry if the english is bad it my second language still learning.
