Super-cool curved display, Notifications work as advertised, Attractive design (if you like ultra-modern)
Inaccurate data logging, Confusing, opaque interface functions, Poor battery life
Half activity tracker, half smartwatch, the Gear Fit shows Samsung understands addition by subtraction. Sadly, though, its exercise tracking is inaccurate. Let's hope a firmware update fixes this soon....

Samsung's Gear Fit leaves us torn. On the one hand, it's the most space-age and glamorous of the wrist-worn wearables we've tested so far, with the genuinely pleasing curved AMOLED display seeing us tapping and swiping for their own sake. It makes Pebbl...
Killer style, Extremely light, you can almost forget you are wearing it, Gorgeous curved Super AMOLED display, Rich notification system, Water and dustresistant, you can even shower with it
Fitness tracking is not on par with others: exercise tracking and pedometer are less accurate, Compatibility limited to Samsung devices only, Pricey, Heartsensor is dishearteningly slow, Sleep tracking does not yield much usable data
The Samsung Gear Fit price is set at the costly $199 (€199 in Europe), nearly double the price of entry-level fitness trackers, and higher than even the pricey $130 Fitbit Force and $150 Nike FuelBand+. It’s also costlier than the $150 Pebble smartwatc...
Supports only Samsung device, Can't connect to social network, Inconsistent heart rate monitor performanc, No third-party apps
Think of the Gear Fit as smartwatch version 1.5. The $199 device demonstrates that Samsung knows there's an appetite for combining the functions of a smartwatch and a fitness tracker in a single device. We especially like the futuristic-chic design and...
Too many charging components, Limited to Samsung devices, Angle of screen is slightly awkward
The Samsung Gear Fit is the best fitness wearable to hit the market, and you'll find instant value in the notifications typically only found on a smartwatch...
Part smartwatch, part fitness tracker. Supports bicycling. Records sleep. Smartwatch notifications are well implemented. Touch-screen enabled. Very, very pretty.
Not functionally independent; requires a supported Samsung device. Pedometer not enabled by default. Touch screen too sensitive to use while in motion. Requires two apps to use fully. Short battery life
The gorgeous Samsung Gear Fit is part fitness tracker and part smartwatch, but it's mainly an accessory for recent Samsung devices; if you want either an activity tracker or a smartwatch specifically, you can do better....

The Gear Fit has a forward-looking design, many more extras than the average fitness band, and the ability to measure heart rate. Its curved AMOLED display looks fantastic, too
The long display means text reads awkwardly on your wrist. The Fit only works with certain Samsung phones. Can't load apps, so you're stuck with the features included. And the price is high, so much so that you might consider a cheaper alternative or the
The Samsung Gear Fit is a great-looking wearable that doesn't quite successfully reconcile its dual roles as activity tracker and smartwatch....
Abstract: Earlier this week at Mobile World Congress Samsung announced the all-new Gear Fit wearable smartband. Being one of three smartwatches announced, it joins the Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo .To be completely honest the Samsung Gear Fit looks exactly what most expec...

Great display; easy to use
Android only, $249
The Samsung Gear Fit is an attractive smartwatch that offers a good balance between form and function. The OLED (organic light-emitting diode) display can be customised and the touch interface is intelligently arranged, so that you are rarely more than a ...
