Samsung Galaxy Fit3 - Pink Gold

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?

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.

I just don't think this product is one of them.

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.
