Samsung Galaxy Fit 3 R390 Smartwatch Dark Gray

The design, fit, build quality, features, screen performance, and interface justify the price—it's Samsung, after all.UPDATE: After 6 weeks, I came across different problems from using it. It's such a hassle that I have to reset it each time, and it's more often than I can tolerate. This makes my overall experience unsatisfactory. By default, I set it to measure HR every 10 mins and my stress levels continuously. 1. The steps reverse sync to the initial value on the phone when I least expect it to happen.2. Stress levels don't sync properly with my phone for a few days.3. I checked my phone one time and found out that it didn't measure my heart rate almost the whole day.4.

As of now, there are plenty of in-depth reviews and insights about this product from different sources, such as on YouTube and Reddit. You might be better off looking other brands that are on par or even better than the Fit3 if these issues concern you.

A little buggy

I've been using this for over a month. I hate the large size of the android smartwatches. I switched recently from all things apple. The apple watch was a good size: This watch is slightly longer. When I switched to Android, I first tried the fitbit charge 6. Though very reliable and small, it could not display the weather. This fit 3 has detailed weather. It has more watchface options than the charge.Buggy areas: sometimes when I turn my wrist, and the watchface touches something, like the arm of a chair, it goes into watch face changing mode, and I have to fix it by touching the face of the watch to keep my chosen watch face. (It will revert back if you ignore it long enough though.) That can be annoying sometimes. Also, it has buggy reminder notifications. If I ... MoreI've been using this for over a month.

(It will revert back if you ignore it long enough though.) That can be annoying sometimes. Also, it has buggy reminder notifications. If I have a reminder at 3pm, I sometimes receive that reminder at odd times later in the day. Though my phone is always on time, the watch not so much.Bottom line: my first 2 smartwatches were samsung. This is like the first one: it can't talk and it can't hear. I don't mind that, because most of that sort of interaction with my apple watch was done in the kitchen--set a timer, or add something to my shopping list. I now have a Google nest in my kitchen that can hear and talk and perform these hands-free tasks for me. The reminder bug has me re-thinking my choice, however. I turn 60 next month, and find myself relying on reminders more frequently. Or not, if the bugs are brain food in disguise maybe I'll keep it.I bought one for my son-in-law. Like I told him, it will start in another language, but just download the app, which is in English, and follow the app--which will, correct the language on the watch.I do wish they sold the apple and fitbit type of band for these. That is the only thing I really miss a lot. Tucking the band inside chaffes my wrist, and the traditional buckle I don't care for. Sure, it can be worn looser, but does this affect measurements taken by the sensors? Also, the heart rate isn't always accurate. In general it's pretty good. I'm a licensed nurse and know how to take my heart rate. Sometimes the watch shows it 20 or more points higher than it really is. It also seems to rely on past results in its interpretation of current results. I recently had an electrolyte imbalance, such as dehydration can increase the heart rate. After having a day or so of higher than normal heart rate, the watch seemed to have trouble going back to my normal resting heart rate for a day or so. In other words, the heart rate seems like it isn't like an objective measurement you get when you put your fingers on your wrist. It seems to be a combination of AI interpretation. It's good, but not perfect. Probably why they say do not use for medical advice?

Disappointed, rather buy the Fit2

I have used this for a month now and the only reason it is not rated 1/2 stars is because the sleep coaching, stress and heart rate trackers are so good.BUT the software for the step counter has truly taken a step back from its predecessor, the Fit2. The phone and watch are tied together in the step counter so that means if your watch says 15K steps and your phone says 1K steps then the steps sync to the phone as a default and it becomes 1K. You would think the watch would be the source of truth but not. I have seen many people complain and it seems that the solution is to turn off the physical activity tracker for the phone but that stops you from being able to participate in step challenges.Samsung has always produced products that stand the test of time.

Do not recommend and here's why.

I got mine in March, so almost 3 months use. I switched from a Fitbit inspire 2.Reason to switch - wanted a newer watch. I couldn't find a new version of Fitbit in my country. Samsung fit3 looked good and the price was good, given that supposedly you get the Samsung guarantee vs Noname guarantee.Pros:- nice look- relatively low price- access to the calm app for free- can read messages from the phone, which my old Fitbit couldn't.Cons:- Battery most definitely doesn't last as advertised. My usage is low to medium and I have to charge every 3 days.- Very low precision with step count. Like, for real. Counts may be a half of them.- Low precision with sleep count. Can skip your nap or can add a nap when you're just sitting long enough.- Cannot add or edit ... MoreI got mine in March, so almost 3 months use.

Can skip your nap or can add a nap when you're just sitting long enough.- Cannot add or edit sleep logs (could do in Fitbit app).- Low precision with the sleep stages count. A human cannot survive on 20min deep sleep per night, but supposedly I do, which is incompatible with living. Again, never had that with Fitbit.- strange stress measurement, it's either super high, or super low, never in between.- if your phone is not a Samsung phone, it's a nightmare to set up the apps. It takes minimum 2 (!!!) to 3 apps to connect the watch and the phone, no jokes. One app to watch the watch, one app to connect the watch, one app to sync your previous data with your current state. Glitching of course. Never had that with Fitbit.- the Samsung app is glitchy. Also it gives weird reminders with links that are not supported or don't lead anywhere.- Both apps fails to tell in advance when the battery is low. Only sends a reminder when the battery is around 3% to 1%.- Did I mention low precision? It could be its middle name.I'll switch back to Fitbit as soon as I'll go abroad.Overall, Samsung fit3 watch is merely a patchy-glitchy prototype, not a real thing.

Exactly what I wanted

if you are looking for something for health and fitness and for a great price, I highly recommend it! I have had the apple watch, and I understand that some ppl want to be able to do everything on their phones, and hikers really like the GPS feature. I just wanted something that tracked my steps, workouts, water intake, and sleep tracking. I do get notifications of incoming text and calls. I like that I can't respond back. The battery life is amazing! it supposed to last 13-14 days for me that is not the case. I have had it on for a full 7 day week period with display off, and im currently at 13% , so i like that i dont have to charge it every night or every other night. I highly recommend it!

Excellent light weight digital watch.

I bought a Samsung watch for the first time as I was impressed with the relatively low price and what I had read about it. I recently bought a late model Samsung phone and thought I would give their watch a try as I was sure it would readily connect with the new phone. I was not wrong plus the watch is easier to use than I thought it would be plus there are dozens of different faces for it and they are easy to change. I now have a more suitable face installed that suits me.The first thing I noticed is that the watch is very light and I do not notice wearing it like l had done with my previous heavier watch.So far the watch is working well and I am very happy with it. The more days you wear it the better it is able to assess your overall sleeping and exercising ... MoreI bought a Samsung watch for the first time as I was impressed with the relatively low price and what I had read about it.

Great value for money

I bought this 3 mo ago.it is a great device and has many features.for instance it has a calculator app physical ROM step tracking sleep tracking hr sensor stress blood oxygen and a lot of other great features. I think it is worth the price. I actually bought it for 120 sar by applying my coupons.it is extremely durable and i have no concerns taking it in water. However on the first day of use i got a few micro scratches on the display so i highly recomend that you get a case or a screen protector at least for it.i have no complaints at all with the watch. I applied a screen protector so i am not facing any durability issues at all.i highly recommend this product as it is way better then huawei or xiaomi. I was going to buy the huawei band 8 but after seeing this i ... MoreI bought this 3 mo ago.it is a great device and has many features.for instance it has a calculator app physical ROM step tracking sleep tracking hr sensor stress blood oxygen and a lot of other great features.

Simply problematic

Some time in August (2024), I purchased 2 Galaxy Fitbit 3 watches. They were timely delivered and they look great for their value. However the functionality comes into question. Both watches seemingly do not selectively synchronize data such as running with the phone. Troubleshooting the watch, app and phone does not seem to work. To make it worse, my watch does not record floor changes and given that I walk up 4 flights of stairs everyday, one would assume it would inaccurately pick one floor but it doesn't. We have so far ruled out updates, phone pairing and sweat between the skin and watch. I have also tried pairing the watches to different phones but this does not work. It's frustrating to think that you are getting quality gadgets from a trusted supplier only ... MoreSome time in August (2024), I purchased 2 Galaxy Fitbit 3 watches.
