Integrates Well with Samsung's Ecosystem
Rating: 5
i recently upgraded to a samsung galaxy s10e and wanted a fitness tracker that would integrate with the samsung health app. i switched from a garmin fitness tracker and have been using the galaxy fit for about a month now and i love it. the interface is easy to use/navigate and i love being able to get notifications from my phone on my fit. (the garmin wearable's notifications didn't work as well as i would like.) the heart rate tracker, sleep tracker, and fitness tracker all work well. i use this to track my runs and if you run with your phone like i do, the samsung health app on the phone will also record your gps settings from your run as well! overall, this is an excellent product for the price and i personally prefer this because it plays well with samsung's other apps.

Great Watch - Tracker
Rating: 4
The watch is great. I can read and see everything on the watch out in the bright sun, I don't worry about it getting wet while doing dishes etc. It has a big bright interface and syncs with Samsung Health. The only reason it didn't get five starts is that I would like the home screen to have the date on it. I can add my calendar to it but that is the second screen. Compared to the two fitbits I had, I would buy this one again and recommend.

Good watch for the price
Rating: 4
Love it. The only thing I miss on this that the bigger Samsung watches have is "Find my phone". I like the buckle on this one more than the one with the bigger watch face. I have had 2 of the bigger Samsung watches and they didn't last more than a year so I didn't want to pay a lot of $$$ but still wanted the exercise tracking functionality that interfaced well with Samsung phone.

An excellent Fit with Galaxy S10
Rating: 4
Overall very satisfied, easily connected to Galaxy S10 thru Gear app. For small wrist need a band retainer. I use 10% power in a day and recharges in less than hour. Recommend a start screen for exercise. Recommend auto adjustable to light.

Simple Features, Lousy band.
Rating: 3
I bought this back in December of 2019. I like everything about it except the band. The end tucks under and because the material is some kind of rubber or plastic the only way I can get it off is to use some kind of tool to get it off. Presently there are no other bands available for this unit.

Just ok
Rating: 3
I should have spent more money and purchased a fit smart watch that had the display on all of the time. Even though, you have to turn on the display with a wrist turn or pushing the button, it seems to run out of charge quickly. The watch works fine and keeps the data I need: time, steps, weather, etc. It does not sync with my computer only with my phone, which is also a disappointment.

Not as good as I had hoped.
Rating: 3
Worked good at first. But the battery life is getting shorter and shorter. It's taking longer to charge also. I've only had it about three weeks. I still haven't figured out how to give quick response to texts.

Samsung Galaxy Fit
Rating: 1
The watch has great features, especially if you use Samsung products. The battery was great for exactly ONE WEEK, then it started to die. Even after trouble-shooting everything, I have to charge it daily. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND.

Avoid at all costs! you've been warned
Rating: 1
This is the worst quality watch I've ever owned. I'm currently on my 3rd watch within 2 months. I'd switch except i can only exchange for same one unfortunately. First one quit charging after 2 weeks and the screen refused to do anything except flash colors. 2nd one the band broke after 3 weeks (connection the watch itself) I'll just keep exchanging it until my time runs out. (no pun intended) Cant believe Samsung would allow such a low quality item when normally they have decent quality.
