Fantastic Fit Device for Any Health Enthusiast!
Rating: 5
The Short and Sweet Review: Pros - The slim design is attractive and will surely turn heads at the gym or outside on the trail. Without depending on your smartphone, you can listen to music phone free. Cut the cord and go with Bluetooth headphones (IconX) to get the full experience. Monitor your heart rate, gps location (runs), hike for elevation, sleep, and many more activities throughout your healthy lifestyle. I also enjoy that this is water resistant rated at IP68, which means you can shower with it. Cons - The battery is my biggest complaint. Although you get about 4 days out of it, we all know that batteries eventually (over time) lose their juice. I would like to see a minimum 7 days out of this with a nice solid battery to last for years. The Long Run Review: The Samsung Gear Fit2 is device in which it can track your health on multiple categories. Setup was a breeze. The easy to read screen walks you step by step to setting up the connection to your phone, Wi-Fi, and setting up the items that are most important to you in regards to monitoring your healthy living. The Guts: Do you like tracking your steps? Do you like to monitor your heart rate? How about keeping an eye on how many calories you burned throughout the day? These are just a few of the many activities you can monitor while wearing the Samsung Galaxy Gear Fit2. With Fit2's AMOLED screen, boasting 1.5" Touch Screen, it's easy on the eyes. It's extremely responsive 512MB of RAM and 4 GB of Internal Storage allows for your to easily navigate the menu options and throw together a quick work out mix to keep you and your head in the moment! The battery is OK, in this regard. I would like to see the battery last minimunt 7 days. Right now, It will go about 4 days before it needs a full recharge to keep up with my very active lifestyle. The Cool Stuff: Enough with the insides, how does this work and keep me focused on my health? The Gear Fit2 is exceptional when it comes to reading your HR, knowing when you're on a walk/run, or begin an intense work out session, registering each step you take, keeping track of caffeine and water intake is essential to monitoring a healthy lifestyle. The Gear Fit2 also provides notifications from your phone. I enjoy the fact you can customize it to the point where you can set which apps you would like to be notified by. So far the readouts have been quite accurate in regards to comparing form other exercise bands (Nike Fuelband and FitBit Charge 2). Feeling the competitive edge?: The Gear Fit2 allows you to "challenge" another Gear Fit2 counterpart and once you complete your activity, you can then compare the two from each other and see who overworked their bodies to the max. The Gear Fit2 is so much more than just your typical watch (boring), it can keep you on track for a better and healthier lifestyle. Get to it, Get Fit2!

Great fitness tracker for everyday life!
Rating: 5
I have been using the watch for a couple weeks now and have been loving it. the watch is packed full of features. my favorite feature is being able to leave my phone at home and still be able to track my runs while still being able to listen to music. you can put music on the gear and then connect Bluetooth headphones to the gear. This feature makes runs a lot easier. it also tracks sleep which is a really cool feature and everything syncs up to the s health app so you can view all your activities on your phone. I highly recommend this fitness tracker/smartwatch.

Worth every cent!
Rating: 5
I received the Gear Fit as a gift a couple of years ago, and after some time with it I got addicted (never thought I'd need a smart wearable device before that). It had its limitations though, but with the new Gear Fit 2, Samsung seems to have addressed all those issues and the Gear Fit 2 is very close to being the perfect fitness tracking device. I specially like the auto-tracking functions (sleep, walking, running...) that were a major drawback in the original Fit where you had to instruct it manually to start tracking. I wish there were a gesture for "back" instead of reaching for the button each time. I wish there were a setting to make it wake up to the clock face each time and not the last page it was on.

Everything I expected
Rating: 5
I moved to GearFit 2 from a FItbit because the Fitbit just wasn't rugged enough. The Samsung has been great and it has additional capabilities like actually tracking my elliptical workouts vs just the steps and it integration to my Samsung phone has been great.

Great Product!
Rating: 5
Love this product so much! It works great. Counts my steps and I always forget to hit start button on a work out and it counts it anyways. Lets my know the weather and time with just a flick of my wrist. The battery life is really good too, I charge it almost every two days when I am just sitting on my couch. It is also water resistant so when you wash your hands you dont have to take it off. You can connect it to your phone to get notifications and reply to text messages. I love that it tracks your sleep and lets you know how long you are restless and actually sleep good. Shows how many calories you burn and can set a target of steps to reach daily. Counts floors and heart rate. And I love that you can change the look of it for free or purchase a cool specialized background. Highly recommend this is you have a Samsung.

Good fitness band with smartwatch features
Rating: 5
Upon first impressions i was pretty surprised with this new little band. It is very lightweight and feels like it has a good strap. I really enjoy the fact that it does floor counting as my Gear s2 does not. It also has a neat feature in that it has built in GPS, although i haven't had a chance to test that out on a run yet or anything. There isn't as many apps available for it as there are for the S2 but, in regards to that it is designed to be more of a fitness band with some smart watch features in my mind. Overall i'm very happy with it and appreciate that i've gotten the opportunity to test it out through #theinsidersnet

Busy Mom's thoughts on Samsung Gear fit2
Rating: 5
Product is great! Quality is great! It is a great fitness watch that will help assist you keep track of your heart rate, daily exercises, water intake , and caffiene intake. I highly recommend! I am a mother of 7 now and am always on the go! It helps me even track my busiest moments throught my day! It also allows me to keep in mind (since I constantly am checking time) that fitness is a necessity. I didn't five 5 stars is battery. Although, if you save battery by turning off bluetooth it will last a day or 2!

Grat Fitness Companion
Rating: 4
Received it last week and paired it with my Galaxy Note7 (yes, the outlawed phone, still I love it.) I do not use it as my main watch but on the right hand together with my old, simple but reliable Nike fuel-band. I love the graphics and all the available information, specially automatic activity and sleep tracking as well as the floors-up counter (although it is not clear how many feet or steps are considered a floor...) The water intake counter, steps and heart rate measuring are very useful. I wish there were more customizable home screens to choose from and - very important - that the Gear Fit2 could connect directly to the internet to upload all data - without a phone; if you change or lose the phone, you need to reset the Gear Fit2 to pair again - all past, unsynched data will be lost forever. Also, I wish it was completely water-proof to be able to swim with it and make those burned calories count! So far I would recommend this product.

Great step up from the original Gear Fit!!
Rating: 4
After having the Gear Fit 2 for several weeks I feel I can give my honest review about this. The gear Fit 2 is very light and not as tall or thick as the original Gear Fit and you barely know it is on your wrist. Having the ability to store your music right on the watch and have it connect to your Bluetooth headsets is a major feature that I really enjoy. Now I no longer have to keep my cell phone on me while I run. Also having it tell me how I am doing while I run at specific intervals which I set is also a nice feature, doing that lets me know if I am falling behind or keeping a good pace while I run, to me it feels like I have someone running next to me to keep me motivated. The GPS feature is also nice to have so if your keeping track of your run/walk route it will do that right on the watch itself without the need for a phone connected to it. The only real problem I have with this is it seems inconsistent on what 1.5 mile distance is, one day is my normal route, another day I have to run an additional block or two to get my 1.5 miles according to the watch. It does keep all the other features from the original Gear Fit like the notifications, find your phone, respond to texts via preset replies. Other than that this watch has been a great purchase for me and a large step up from the previous Gear Fit. I highly recommend this to anyone who is unsure which fitness watch to go with.

Not worth it.
Rating: 1
I liked this product at first, and I wear it everyday. However, the straps have started to come off and it does not accurately track my step. I get stair notifications when I am not walking up stars. It is a horrible design(referring to the wrist band). The key hole snap can easily be pulled apart by putting on a coat or a long sleeve shirt. I have found this thing in many dressing rooms or my coat/jacket sleeve. I cannot return this thing because I have had it so long, but feel like this was totally a waste of money.

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.

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.

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.
