SAMSUNG GEAR FIT MANAGER IPHONE UPGRADE
Again, Samsung's firmware upgrade unit has already been addressing this, so expect this issue to mainly disappear over time. Weirdly, the HR monitor was much less reliable at rest, occasionally being unable to read a pulse.

It's pro territory, available for the masses. The heart rate monitor was pretty accurate compared to a Suunto chest strap, and having your HR zones easily visible while running was a definite revelation.

Pairing with Bluetooth headphones is itself straightforward, but the addition of another set of controls in the band as well as on the headset didn't really add much, and occasionally felt like tech overkill when out for a quick training run. Samsung's lock-in means you can only control local handset media, not 3rd party apps such as Spotify, which is a disappointment. Rejecting calls from the device has a bit more utility though, and while running works surprisingly well. Yes, it works fine and is surprisingly accessible, but as you're feet from your far more capable smartphone it feels artificial.

On top of that, you've got some basic smartwatch functionality such as notifications (SMS, Calls, E-mail, Apps), Schedule and a 'Media Controller'.Īlthough in demos we were sold on the alerts (rather than full-scale email on such a small screen) in practice even SMS pulled through onto the Fit was a bit unusable. In this wearable the phone GPS and gyro tech is augmented with an onboard Accelerometer and Gyro. Samsung has pushed hard into the fitness category with similar HR tracking across all the new product range including the S5. The big one is a Heart Rate monitor, stashed within the band in the form of a pulse-measuring green LED. Samsung Gear Fit: Featuresįor such a small device the Fit is compellingly feature rich, providing the wearer with a Pedometer, Exercise tracker and sleep tracker as well as a Stopwatch and Timer. Text is super clear, and the touchscreen functioned superbly during testing given the small real estate. It's a gorgeous 1.84-inch Curved Super AMOLED (432x128) sliver of vividness that's searingly bright even in direct sun, and even lets you switch backgrounds to any image (once synced across from your Samsung phone or tablet). The screen is what raises the Samsung Gear Fit above the pack of everyday fitness bands. WATCH: Samsung Gear Fit unboxing and first impressions video At a mere 27 grams, and measuring 23.4 x 57.4 x 11.95mm, the Samsung Gear Fit is eminently wearable, although slightly too bulky to be useful as a sleep tracker in our opinion, in spite of this being an option. Once you've got past the glorious curved AMOLED screen (more on this below) you're looking at a fairly standard fitness band setup. The Samsung Gear Fit fits neatly into the ecosystem in many ways, and jars with it in a few – most notably in that it's designed specifically to complement the Samsung Galaxy S5 and the brand's recent phablets like the Samsung Galaxy Note 3.Īlthough many of the fitness options work in standalone mode, all alerts are pushed via Bluetooth 4.0 from a mobile handset, and synching with Samsung's S-health app is the intended destination for all your health data. From the early Fitbit-style pedometers and chunky GPS units through the recent crop of wearable fitness trackers that feature built-in screens (such as the Polar Loop and LG Lifeband Touch) we've never had so broad a choice of wrist-mounted fitness trackers. The Samsung Gear Fit lands at a seminal moment for the fitness band market.
