Too many charging components
Limited to Samsung devices

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

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...

Think of the Gear Fit as smartwatch version 1.5. The $199 device demonstrates that Samsung knows there's an appetite for combining the functions of a smartwatch and a fitness tracker in a single device. We especially like the futuristic-chic design and...
