The editors didn't like

  • Limited functionality

  • 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

  • Gorgeous curved Super AMOLED screen, Notifications work for all apps, Silky smooth scrolling, Easy to use software interface, Cool heart-rate monitor
  • Long screen is awkward to use, Plastic strap is cheap, Charging dongle is awkward, Pedometer is inaccurate, Fitness features are half-baked
  • The Gear Fit is a gorgeous piece of tech, and has an effective interface, but underneath the shimmer and gloss, it's a mid-rate smartwatch and a poor fitness tracker. If getting phone notifications on your wrist is worth $200 (and you own a Galaxy phone...

  • No. Absolutely not. This incredibly promising device is utterly ruined by bad software. Also, it's £180. If Samsung does a major software overhaul—and I mean from the ground up—then it could be a great device. But for now, the fact that it only works with...

  • VERDICT Open Gallery When we first saw the Samsung Gear Fit, we saw a light, wearable fitness device with a unique curved screen and the ability to work seamlessly with Samsung phones. What we got was a light, but quite bulky, wearable device. It...

  • Part smartwatch, part fitness tracker, Very, very pretty, Smartwatch notifications are nicely done
  • Needs a supported Samsung device, Requires two apps to use fully, Short battery life
  • I really enjoyed fiddling with the Gear Fit in the first few days that I tested it – lifting my arm quickly to turn on the screen and see the time, swiping through the screens, taking my heart rate every so often – but a few frustrations and disappointme...

  • Attractive curved screen and good looks, lightweight, changeable strap, water and dust proof
  • 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
  • The Samsung Gear Fit manages that difficult hat trick of being genuinely useful, while being technically advanced and actually desirable. It passes the test as a smart-looking and smart-acting watch, but also packs in a range of health-related data gath...

  • Curved screen, Longer battery life
  • Limited functionality, Slim screen
  • I need to spend a bit more time with the Gear Fit before I can cast a proper judgement but so far it's making for a nifty fitness companion. The limit to Samsung devices will be a bugbear for a lot of people, especially when they see how nice that screen...
