Great buy
Rating: 5
This was a good purchase. I can track my movement, various exercises, and meal consumption to see if I'm on target. The price was reasonable and I'm impressed so far.

Big qitch for people with big wrists

Had a hard time finding this instore so I ordered it online instead. It has a very large band for thise with big wrists. Yes there are many more watch faces for this watch, as it is a digital display.

Best gift to myself
Rating: 5
Wonderful device. My hearing isn't so great anymore, so the vibration on my wrist for an incoming call is welcomed. But that's not all - this watch is simply perfect. I love the large size, the bezel and the overall look. It's vintage in style and I love that. I bought a set of bumpers to protect all the way around and a bezel ring that has nice slightly raised knobs to make the bezel easier to turn while the bumper is on. You can't even tell I have a bumper on! I am in the process of buying more of the thinner leather bands for it, too, because those are the most comfortable for me. The watch works smoothly and accurately and the choices for personalized apps and watch faces make choosing fun. I originally wanted the LTE version, but the price on this one was absolutely stunning ($90 cheaper than anywhere else) that I bought it and haven't regretted the decision.

My husband loves this watch! He is not what you would call a technology savant, but he likes the features and has started to walk more due to the tracker

Great Watch, just wish there were more apps for it. Comfortable to wear. Used in pool and it hasn't affected it.

Questionable value
Rating: 2
I had high hopes for the Galaxy Watch but was very disappointed. Some built-in apps don't work or don't work well. Samsung Health is very unreliable....it refuses to count floors and step count is not accurate. These are known issues which Samsung apparently is not dealing with. Suggest you stay with your FitBit for health tracking. Samsung Pay on the watch is unreliable (unlike Samsung Pay on my phone which is great).....it worked only once after some effort. Apps such as weather don't auto refresh and even won't manually refresh consistently...it took 2 days and multiple manual refresh requests before it got current. Bing would open on voice command but would not recognize any voice command....wouldn't respond at all. WiFi and Bluetooth connections had trouble refreshing even with manual requests. I'm returning the watch.

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.
