Samsung Gear Fit 2 (page 5 of 11)

Been using a Vivosmart HR for 2 years and needed a replacement, but didn't want to look past Garmin products. A friend showed me his Gear Fit 2 and I was already impressed - but when I got mine in hands... wow! The screen is excellent, the smart notifications are spot-on (you can read the whole message in it, just scroll it down) and the many features for fitness tracking are great! Not to mention the app, really complete! Greatest price-per-benefit ratio between all of them!

Just be aware that it scratches very quickly, the battery doesn't last more than a day (or half a day with GPS on) and the lock-in strap can open with little bumps in the gym. For more safety, go with the Gear Fit 2 Pro that has a more secure latch than this one.

I got this as a bonus gift with purchase on my s7. I have used it alot and so has my wife. We have found it a very handy and non invasive way to keep a track on different health stats. We use it more at the moment to monitor my wife while shes pregnant. Its great! The only thing i dont like is the latch on the band.

​I have purchased the Gear Fit2 pro 8-9 months ago. On the paper its great. When it works even better. The problem is that it doesn't work due to the very short battery life. Battery drains in 6-8 hours. Yes, 6-8 hours. GPS drains it even faster so its always off - waste of money. Wifi - the same. Music - even worse.
You pay for GPS MP3 and other options but you can't use them so what was the point. Battery drains so fast with GPS on that i can't even finish a 1 hour run with GPS and MP3.

I had my watch for about 6 months and enjoyed using it. However my watch failed due to water damage and Samsung does not cover the repairs even during the warranty period.
This watch is advertised as water resistant and suitable for swimming activities however my experience shows that it is not really the case. Like Meg, I used the watch daily but my use didn't involve contact with water apart from being splashed when washing hands or moisture from a workout.
I would therefore not recommend the Samsung gear fit 2 pro, especially if you are after a water resistant smart watch/fitness tracker.

Other than the HR being useless its seems to track well and battery life is just around 3 days. Not a lot of App support or even updates to improve it which is disappointing, Notifications work well with my S7. Also its a bit misleading for using B.T headphones direct to the watch that Spotify will only work using WIFI so its pointless at the GYM !!!!

I bought my Samsung Gear Fit 2 in July 16, worked fine until 7 months later when it stopped charging. As the warranty is 24 months took it back to Samsung at Carindale Shopping Centre and they sent it away for repair and ended up getting a replacement (the charge points had worn away and not worth repairing). A year later exactly the same issue occurred. Took it back to Samsung again and this time they've repaired it. I've noticed the charging points are already starting to wear away again. I don't think I'll be buying another Samsung Gear again unless I read reviews that state that this issue has been resolved in later versions.

I used this regularly for about 6 months, then got a little bored of it. the wrist strap is comfy but after continuous use to can get a bit too loose to the point I was worried it would fall of. Recommend if you want more of a budget friendly watch

At its price (around $150) this is an exceptional fitness watch and should meet most of the needs for the average person. It syncs extremely well with the Samsung app, and whilst iOS functionality is reduced, it is still quite useful, and far better than some of the more overpriced fitness watches around. Whilst not necessarily designed as a general Smartwatch, it still has excellent features which should be fairly appealing to people interested in that also.

This Gear Fit is everything I want. It has heart rate monitor, sleep monitor, all different activity types, syncs well with my phone. It gives a pretty accurate calorie counter lost when I work out daily. Love the accuracy of the steps and I have never had any drama with it swimming. It has alot of choices for watch faces, notifies me of calls, messages, facebook etc. It charges very quickly when I need it. I love it

Bought this device recently on a sale at Jbhifi online. Its my first fitness smart watch. Comes with Hear rate monitor, Gps and internal memory to add some music on. Though its a 2 year old model, the watch still looks great and nice.

Got on a excellent deal for under $60 from JB.
Great Watch for Great Price

I have been using the gear fit 2 for several months and have really been impressed with what it offers. I wear it when hiking and any outdoor adventures I go on and it provides me with valuable information such as my heart rate and motivates me to do more each day. I receive my emails also and have about 200 songs installed for my workout music

I was a disappointed owner of a Gear Fit One which was plagued by syncing issues. I thought that this was going to be a great leap forward but alas it wasnt what I expected. performance is ok but accuracy just seems to be off in simple things like steps. The battery life was good but sycing issues still are present. I think this id down to the connectors getting dirty/sweaty.

First smart watch. Have been looking around for either a Xiaomi band 2 vs fit bit models. Xiaomi doesn't come with heart rate monitoring while fit bit prices are higher. Happen to get the samsung gear fit 2 at a promotion and for that price it was great. Fits the purpose, with heart rate monitoring, even has memory that you can put songs onto. Also, the GPS does not require a phone to be connected to track, meaning it has a on board GPS.
Only down side is its a close to 2 years old model. The latest model is the gear fit 2 pro.
Overall, if you can find this below $100, i believe it is a good deal and you can try it. Notification works great as well.

I got this fitness watch from the recent jbhifi sale. Overall the watch has a very nice screen, very bright and clear in colour. It has lots of useful functions include HR, wifi, GPS and Bluetooth music player, also particularly the notification is very fancy looking, another good thing is that the gear fit 2 can work with iPhone too. However, one thing I do feel a bit disappointing is that is can not sync with most of other active applications (compare to Fitbit/Garmin) and the apple health.

I've been wearing this watch everyday for over a year now, which means something must be good about it

Received this bundled with a Samsung phone purchase. Works pretty well as a fitness tracker. It has a lot of connections - bluetooth, wifi, GPS, etc and when a couple or all of them are on the battery drains pretty fast. It does a decent job of what it's meant to do. Can also play music too, but having music as well as the GPS tracker going hits the battery hard. At a discounted price it represents good value.

This is my first ever fitness watch and since I have a Samsung S8, I thought this would go hand in hand, which it does.
Easy to use, and perfect for first time users.
Currently no issues with the watch and it has helped me keep my fitness up. Hopefully it continues.

Very comfortable band, sometimes I don't even notice I'm wearing it.

Screen quality is amazing. Clear in sunlight and no glare.
Nothing bad to say about this watch.
