one small detail that no one will ever tell you is that on this fit 3, when you launch the timer app, you can navigate to other apps. While on the xiaomi band and watch, you're stuck on the timer app until you stop it.

Great review video! I bought a Fit 3 for my wife for our 5 year Anniversary and of course I had to try it out before I set it up for her and I compared it to my Galaxy Watch 5 and I like the Fit 3 more! Way more comfortable and the screen response is way faster! Just ordered one for myself so I will be doing more side by side comparisons to my GW5.

I had a Samsung Watch 6 about 6 months ago, and I was not happy with its 36 hours of battery life. Coming from Fitbits which had 7 days of battery life. The Watch 6 would run out of juice in the middle of the night, or during the day, at inconvenient times because it is not easy to remember to charge it all the time. I bought the Fit3 because of the claimed 13 days, and it generally lasts me only slightly over 4 days with many of the notification functions turned off. I don't think I would have bought it if I had known the battery life was so short.

But 4 days is still better than the Watch 6's 1 and a half days, so I am not extremely disappointed.

Also the watch seems to use 4 times as much battery during the night as during the day. I used about 24% battery in 24 hours; but in that day I used 16% during the 8 hours of sleep. This was with the snore function off but heartbeats and Blood Oxygen on, and my phone next to my bed.

Good fitness tracker from Samsung, snappy interface, long battery life, message replies available, calendar, calculator on top of the usual alarms, timers and weather. I like the heath tab with the great integration and uniformity with the Samsung phone health app, too bad it limits some features compatibility only with Samsung devices. And the elephant in the room: no GPS??? I get the price point target but probably a deal-breaker for many

This is the perfect watch simple no unnecessary features that makes it like have a secondary phone

Cool watch. Like you said, functional and pretty much all you need while out cycling or running. Now, I do not think I heard anything about water resistance as after that, I sure like to swim. Would I have to take it off?

[igorstefanov]

Is there a barometer or not? Samsung claims that small hole near power button is barometer sensor but it doesn’t work on my tracker. Very good review bro.

Great review! I loved my Fit 3 but unfortunately I had to return it because of the persistent heart data syncing bug with no fix in sight. Went back to using my GW5 and Fit 2 tandem. Waiting to see what the GW7 series and Galaxy Ring have to offer later in the year.

Jag fick min förra Samsung fit 3 förra veckan. Väldigt nöjd med den, snabb klocka. Den har allt som jag behöver försatt kunna följa min hälsa.

I think the issue with Apple making a fitness tracker like that is that they don't want to compete in the space. They certainly wouldn't compete on price, and if they added features, I don't think the price would be any different from the Apple Watch.

To be honest, this doesn't tempt me too much. It's been a while since I've had a Mi Band, but as I recall, those get much better battery life. I've got an Amazfit T-Rex Pro that I got for $100 that runs circles around the Fit 3. Yes, it's 30% more expensive, but it's a lot less expensive than a new Galaxy watch.

I think if you're in the Samsung ecosystem, and you don't want to spring for a new Galaxy watch, but you don't want to go on eBay, this is a solid option. I just wish they brought a little bit more to the table for that price, given the competition.

hello, since the fit3 doesnt have a built in gps, how does it track strava route?

[euanantolin]

There is an issue with the fit 3 is that the step counter randomly resets the progress ive made, i walk for about 5000 steps and when i i checked my phone it resets to 53 steps, i dont know how to fix this problem. Seems like other people are having the same problem.

[luluyouidiot]

Coming to a fit 3 from a xiaomi mi watch i like this more it looks better and all i really need one for is heart rate and the time and the other things for convenience and the gps doesn't bother me i could barely get my mi watch to get gps signal

[mstiic]

Okay, I've had this Fit 3 for a few days now. The battery really disappoints me. Before this I had OPPO Watch Free. This could easily last 7/9 days. The Fit 3 with AOD off from 24 hours of use consumes 25% of the battery, so it would mean that it will only last 4 days and this is really low.

Do I need to adjust certain settings? Does anyone know?

The built quality, screen, and UI smoothness are better than mi band 8 pro. Howeveer, mi band 8 pro has more functions. Mi band also famous for not accurate treckking record.

[gourabdey]

Do you prefer to use screen protector? Cause I am in dilemma. Does it really help or just a gimmick

[AlyGajitos]

great review! i find this video pretty comprehensive, you have answered all my questions hahaha 💯

[pranavsubramaniyan]

is it good for use with non samsung phones too?

[izoyt]

so, if we leave fitness options aside, can be this used as let say bicycle/motorbike interface (with smartphone with you) as follows:
- answer or dial phone calls?
- choose/play music?
- have kind of navigation routing, like arrows etc?
thank you.

I would love this watch in a bigger size, form factor is beautiful
