The editors liked
Curved screen
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

Premium design and build quality, excellent screen, fun to use, good to keep on top of health
Limited to working with Samsung Galaxy devices only, two to three day battery life, not everyone will like the design

Abstract: SAMSUNG unveiled the Gear Fit at Mobile World Congress in February , claiming it is the "world's first" curved wearable device in a bid to make it more comfortable. Launching in the UK on 11 April, we've been putting the ...

Good looking (for a smartwatch), Decent build quality, Curved display is bright, Battery should last up to 3 days
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
This is a smartwatch/fitness tracker that falls short on what it promises. The Gear Fit does have a lovely screen, easy-to-use user interface and will fit most people’s wrist, but it has too many issues. It’s heading in the right direction but is not yet...
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...
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, 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...
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...
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...

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...
