All it's missing is an ambient light sensor
And maybe a mic for quick replies to email. But the screen is lovely
The band is comfortable
And the whole thing just looks great. Four days of battery life is totally re
The Gear Fit's curved Super AMOLED display looks great
And it's responsive and bright too. It wraps around your wrist
Making for a more natural fit than other smartwatches. Inside
It's easy to read
But sunlight completely kills the screen. That means

The editors didn't like
Limited functionality
Slim screen
The software is unforgivably bad. Tragically bad. It feels as if the Gear Fit and the S Health teams barely spoke to each other at all. Which is especially bedeviling since Samsung made the conscious choice to sell a wearable product that only works with
While Samsung has pretty much nailed the hardware
The software leaves a lot to be desired. It runs Samsung's own OS – not Tizen or Android – which means it can't use thirdparty apps. This really limits what it can do
The battery life is middling at best
Specifically pairs with Samsung S Health equipped smartphone (Galaxy S5) and doesn't do anything the phone can't do
Expensive
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
Unresponsive screen
Unreliable heart-rate tracking
Awkward ergonomics
The exercise end of the equation is a let down. The coaching is unreliable and it doesn't provide much of a training platform outside of the device
Time display very unrealiable
Lacks GPS tracking
Can't see long texts
S Health app is not user friendly
Doesn't automatically detect sleep or excercise
Some Samsung device compatibility only
No auto brightness
Battery life not amazing
Fitness features limited
Lack of apps
Restricted to S Health (Samsung' s app) only
Accuracy questionable at times
No altimeter
Rarely displayed time when I wanted it to. No GPS tracking. Long texts not fully displayed. S Health is confusing
With too much going on. Cannot automatically detect exercise or sleep
Poor sleep tracking
Accuracy issues
Limited analytics
Fiddly charging component
Samsung handset lock-in
Pedometer accuracy
Bulk ruins sleep tracking
Heart rate monitor doesn't always work
No third-party apps
Poor battery life
Data-logging issues with S Health
Sleep tracking not very insightful
Heart rate sensor is temperamental
Long screen is awkward to use
Plastic strap is cheap
Charging dongle is awkward
Pedometer is inaccurate
Fitness features are half-baked
Limited to working with Samsung Galaxy devices only
Two to three day battery life
Not everyone will like the design
Needs a supported Samsung device
Requires two apps to use fully
Short battery life
Leather strap option would have been nice
No option to add thirdparty apps
No option to filter messages
Accelerator doesn't always activate screen when you move

scharfes Display mit sehr guter Farbdarstellung, geringes Gewicht und hoher Tragekomfort, vor Wasser und Staub geschütztes Gehäuse, gute Akkulaufzeiten
Schrittzähler mit geringer Genauigkeit, viele Funktionen nur mit Samsung-Smartphone nutzbar, Schlafüberwachung nur sehr rudimentär integriert, zu kurzes Armband, Fitness-Tracker oder Smartwatch?, Laufzeit und
Laufzeit Ein von Smartwatch-Kritikern häufig genanntes Argument ist die Laufzeit. Während klassische Armbanduhren im besten Fall jahrelang mit ein und derselben Batterie auskommen, müssen ihre modernen Pendants vergleichsweise häufig geladen werden. Be...

Das Display des Samsung Gear Fit ist großartig, das Gerät lässt sich gut bedienen und das Menü ist durchaus übersichtlich. Ein bisschen verschachtelt ist es manchmal, aber das hält sich (noch) in Grenzen. Mal schauen, ob das in Zukunft so bleibt, wenn vie...

Samsung hat mit der Galaxy Gear Fit versucht, eine Mischung aus Smartwatch und Fitness-Tracker zu bauen. Der Uhr fehlen einige Funktionen der Gear 2, so kann sie keine Fotos aufnehmen und man kann mit ihr nicht telefonieren. Dafür ist sie schmaler sowie ...
nur mit SamsungProdukten kompatibel, Plastikarmband, nicht für dünne Arm gedacht, Pulsmessung nicht dauerhaft
Das Gear Fit gefiel im Test besser als erwartet: Die Kombination aus Smartwatch und Fitness-Tracker bietet zwar nur wenige Funktionen, die aber eine sinnvolle Ergänzung des Smartphones sein können. Wer kein Problem damit hat sein Telefon aus der Tasche zu...
Cooles Gadget aber noch unausgereift Samsung hat mit ihrer Smartwatch einen großen Hype auf der Mobile World Congress ausgelöst kann uns aber noch nicht ganz von einem Kauf für ca. 229 Euro überzeugen. Die Samsung Gear Fit müsste mit allen Android Geräte...

Die Gear Fit ist ein präziser Schrittzähler, eine echte GPS-Sportuhr ersetzt die Gear Fit ebenso wie andere Fitness-Tracker aber nicht. Dafür macht die Gear Fit etwas, was andere Tracker nicht können: Sie übernimmt dank des schicken Super AMOLED-Displays...
Semplicità d'uso, Autonomia, Ampio set di funzionalità
Design da rendere più sottile, Prezzo abbastanza elevato
Gear Fit è il primo di una serie (ne siamo certi, visto il trend di mercato) di dispositivi per il fitness che Samsung proporrà nei prossimi anni. È sicuramente sulla strada giusta, il prodotto dà soddisfazione e funziona bene, ma è parimenti indubbio che...
