Too many charging components
Limited to Samsung devices
Angle of screen is slightly awkward
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
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
Proprietary charger. Reading emails is a little awkward on the display and not easy to manage. Software could use a more than a few tweaks to make it more intuitive. Like most smart watches

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
At $200, the Gear Fit is just expensive enough to make for a legitimately regrettable purchase. It tries to be a smartwatch and a fitness tracker, but it's really not very good at either, and just ended up being a fancy wrist vibrator with a pretty scr...
The Fit isn't horrible for a first generation smartwatch/fitness tracker hybrid. It'll provide you with reference information after a day of walking around, and it's capable of giving you real-time heart rate feedback, too, which is an important feature i...

The Samsung Gear Fit offers a simplified fitness tracker/smartwatch experience that manages to under-deliver without over-promising. By attempting to cram smartwatch functionality into a basic fitness tracker, and, as a result, neither aspect flourishes. ...

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...

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...

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....
