Longer battery life
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
Great display
Easy to use
Beautiful design
Heart rate monitor
Great for fitness
The editors didn't like
Limited functionality
Slim screen
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

Abstract: When the Galaxy Gear wristwatch launched last fall, the results looked like a Samsung panic move. Someone at the company must have thought there was a race to beat the other mobile-world titans—namely, Google and Apple —to a wearable, phone-like accessory...
Abstract: Buy the Samsung Gear Fit now for $204.95 from AmazonAdvances in technology have certainly played a big role in making our lives a whole lot easier, but with almost everything now available at the tip of your fingers, it has also been a contributing factor...
In case I didn't make it obvious already, I won't be recommending the Gear Fit to you. It has some really cool tech inside, like the AMOLED display, but the fitness side of things is far from being anywhere near where it needs to be. There are all sorts...
The hardware is near-perfect. Really, 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 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
No. Absolutely not. This incredibly promising device is utterly ruined by bad software. Also, its $200. 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...
Abstract: The Samsung Gear Fit looks amazing and is something I want to love, but it has so many shortcomings that I simply can't recommend this device to anyone that's looking to use it as part of a fitness plan. There are a lot of gadgets that you can wear on you...

Abstract: Most of the fitness-based wearables we've seen so far have been very different from smartwatches. And one of the few attempts to blend the two, the Fitbit Force , ended up getting recalled (damn those skin rashes). Enter Samsung, which never met a mobile ...
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...
