Samsung Galaxy Fit3 R390 (Silver) - Brand New

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. One time it even said I climbed 65535 floors (sometimes -1 floors).The band as of now is just ... MoreThe 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.

One time it even said I climbed 65535 floors (sometimes -1 floors).The band as of now is just too buggy, alongside syncing issues with SHealth and GWearables; many people on the galaxy fit subreddit experienced these with their Fit3 as well. 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.

Best Feature:the quality feels goodPerformance:does not perform as expectedI have been a Samsung phone user for years but have been using xiaomi smart watch. I was very excited to try Samsung Fit 3 when I saw it in YouTube. Unfortunately, it's a really bad product 😭Step count of Fit 3 does not sync properly and will get erased / overwritten by step count of the phone. I have lost 3 different days of step count due to this bug!!Workout does not sync properly. I worked out yesterday but it didn't sync. As a result, you can only see the full data on the watch.Also battery only lasts 3-4 days max, not 13 days as advertised!!I looked around online forums and a lot of users encounter this bug. :( I wish I did a little more research before buying, instead of ... MoreBest Feature:the quality feels goodPerformance:does not perform as expectedI have been a Samsung phone user for years but have been using xiaomi smart watch.

I really regret this purchase. 😭😭😭

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.

Great price, good tracking, nice design

Hi...I've been a fan of samsung smart watches...so this is my first band...I looked at reviews, not sure how it would be like, but I decided to buy it...The band is nice to wear, very easy to connect (only if you know your way around the apps and which ones to download as there is so many plugins!) and a cool swipe screen.The notifications are a bit annoying as it keeps saying permissions needed to get a good connection, so a lot of searching, but eventually got there, also had to switch off the phone to clear the problem. Other watches/bands I tried would not stay connected as it was an Oppo phone and your not made aware of this as it says on some types that it can pair with any phone.Happy to say the pairing was good and reconnecting to the Oppo is working ... MoreHi...I've been a fan of samsung smart watches...so this is my first band...I looked at reviews, not sure how it would be like, but I decided to buy it...The band is nice to wear, very easy to connect (only if you know your way around the apps and which ones to download as there is so many plugins!) and a cool swipe screen.The notifications are a bit annoying as it keeps saying permissions needed to get a good connection, so a lot of searching, but eventually got there, also had to switch off the phone to clear the problem.

The heart tracker is a bit over...so it would be cool for that to be fixed as it was one of the reasons I wanted this band.There seems to be no power indication, so that could be a problem if your running and the band is out of power.All in, the band has a lot of potential, for the price, the tracking and being able to do something with the text and calls is awesome too👍👍👍

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.
