You should really try Sony's Gears because there actually really better than the Samsung one's. I have tried both of them and by a great margin Sony Gear beats the Samsung Gear. I will be posting a video on the difference between them. Please watch it.:o
[Samsung Gear Fit] Pilz:
I'm not a big Sony fan, but I wouldn't mind checking it out. I honestly don't even notice that the fit is on half of the time until I get a notification which is nice. Whats the Sony one called?

[Samsung Gear Fit] SirLance99:
I'm having the exact same issue with all the apps and mangers. Nothing is syncing properly.
[Samsung Gear Fit] apallohadas:
The Sony Smartwatch2 (what he called the Gear) is more in line with the Galaxy Gear 2, not the Galaxy Fit.

Comparing the two is an apples to oranges comparison.

Fit can't calculate heart rate while kickboxing. Other than that, it thinks I walked for 1.7 miles after a moderate kickboxing workout.
[Samsung Gear Fit] visheshdatta29:
Sony Smart Watch 2.

It is actually good.

Even I am not a fan of Sony. :P

I am actually waiting for the Moto 360. It is the ultimate gear!!! :D ;)
[Samsung Gear Fit] brett_day:
The bad thing with the Sony Smart Watch 2 is that it is not BTLE...it is based off of BT 3,0, it will be a battery killer. For the same price if I wanted something more akin to a watch I would get the Gear Neo. The Gear Fit is exactly what I need....a fitness tracker. I have used them all, fitbit, jawbone, misfit etc, and the fit works as well as any of them, and it tells me the time, alerts me to messages, emails and weather. Its a great device. The only thing I would change about it is the way you have to charge it in a dock.
[Samsung Gear Fit] apallohadas:
The dock, but also the heart rate monitor is super sensitive. On the good side it seems to give a very accurate reading. On the bad side if you're breathing really hard or moving it won't give you a reading at all.

Even still I'm liking the Fit. I like the different shape and even the lifting of the wrist to activate the screen.
[Samsung Gear Fit] visheshdatta29:
Correct! The purpose of the gear is what is important. For you the best is Neo... Actually the battery of Sony's Smart Watch is good.. And ya, the charging thing is really annoying sometimes. Hehe.
[Samsung Gear Fit] brett_day:
If you were meaning me, no, the best for me would be the fit. I just want a fitness tracker. :)

I am getting more and more excited about the fit the more I use it. I was out all day yesterday at the OU Spring game, walked 14,000 steps, sycned with my phone all day, multiple texts etc, started this morning and I still have 73% battery left. Seeing as I was going into this thinking I would get maybe 3 days battery life, you can imagine my surprise.

Accuracy has been excellent, and has been in line with the fitbit I have been wearing just so that I can compare accuracy before I use the fit exclusively. The real test for me will be tomorrow when I go for my morning run (5k planned). I know exactly how many steps the FitBit used to track so it will be interesting to see how it compares in accuracy in exercise conditions. I am also excited about trying the cycling feature out when I get my road bike out on the road later this week.

I have not had any issue with the HR monitor, and it has worked perfectly each time I have used it (never seen the keep still warning). I am still a little worried about scratching this bad boy up though, and will feel much better when those spigen SP's arrive.

I turned off the lift to activate feature...it turned the screen on far to often for me, and I guess it would be a battery killer, just seemed weird to see this glowing blob every time I moved my arm :) I have not really had any issues with the HRM, and it has never failed to give me a reading, but like you, I love the overall design of the fit. It is incredibly comfortable to wear.
[Samsung Gear Fit] sharqee:
Hi all

Anyone knows if gear fit manager works on galaxy s3?

Thanx
[Samsung Gear Fit] djurkash:
I am quite interested in how the HR sensor in gear fit is really accurate. This is maybe the best to be tested using chest sensor with great fit combined, and check the comparison...Anyone having both devices?
[Samsung Gear Fit] brett_day:
it is accurate. I have a Polar H7 HRM and have had it on to measure resting heart rate at the same time as the fit and they are always within 1 beat of each other.

---------- Post added at 09:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 AM ----------

Yes it sure is

http://www.samsung.com/global/microsite/gear/gearfit_features.html

Scroll to the bottom and it lists compatible devices.
[Samsung Gear Fit] sharqee:
I had not noticed. I'll pair it with my s3 that i use when i work ourt and preserve my note 3:fingers-crossed:

Thank you
[Samsung Gear Fit] brett_day:
unless you are going to be using your phone to track your run/ride with GPS, or if you need music, you could just leave the phone at home and then sync the fit when you get back home.:good:
[Samsung Gear Fit] TheFletch:
That is so great it does continual reading for HR. Now 129 average for walking the dog is another matter. ;>}
[Samsung Gear Fit] lyrad12:
hello guys, question, everytime I shutdown the gear fit and reboot it, I need to setup the settings all over again (wallpaper,profile, etch)is this normal? or just my unit? its annoying and the security pin is useless when you force shut it down, all the setting is reset
[Samsung Gear Fit] apallohadas:
Why are you shutting it down? There's no need to ever do that.
[Samsung Gear Fit] lyrad12:
im just thinking of some possibilities like whats gonna happen if I turn it off, will my passcode work when it boot up? Just like smartphones? if somebody stole it will they be able to use it? something like that, and I notice mine that yes everytime I restart it, its like im setting up again the whole process
[Samsung Gear Fit] apallohadas:
If you're just shutting it down out of curiousity, then that's cool. But there's never a need to shut down the Fit. Since it's syncing with our phones it's not like it's going to run out of memory because of bloat.
[Samsung Gear Fit] warriorpluto:
So that things are really just 199 retail?
[Samsung Gear Fit] lyrad12:
yeah, and by the way I think I got the fit for like 150bucks only, since I paid using isis at at&t store using my wellsfargo, im getting 20% cash back in my account, promotion of isis, just sharing hehe
[Samsung Gear Fit] SirLance99:
What should it be? I was walking at a extremely fast pace. Almost power walking.
[Samsung Gear Fit] TheFletch:
I'm sure 129 is probably fine. My guess is you are a lot younger than I am and my casual dog walk rate is only about 100 but hardly a power pace. It all depends on your resting rate, your max and your recovery rate.

[Samsung Gear Fit] nymviper1126:
Can the display be kept on at all times? How easy is it to keep a static background on it? Ie. no time/notifications etc
[Samsung Gear Fit] apallohadas:
Right now there's no way to keep it on at all times. You can leave the wrist motion activated and that'll be just as good. The motion of lifting your wrist to look at the watch turns the display on.

At first I felt like that was pretty weird, but now it's normal.

As for the background, you decide which watch face you want. I use the time with the weather as my generic face.
[Samsung Gear Fit] nymviper1126:
Ahh, basically i want to use it more like a bracelet, so it would be more of an accessory. The Gear 2 would be my watch, Fit my bracelet. No sure how comfy i will be using the utility of it all yet, but i am willing to pay to just have cusotm watch faces and textless/iconless backgrounds on the fit.

Though I do get enough slack as it is (I carry and N3, a N8.0 and a NP12.2)

Ask me if IGAF lol
[Samsung Gear Fit] jfoofoo:
Does the gear fit notification work with 3rd party email client? Such as Touchdown?
[Samsung Gear Fit] audunp:
Gear Fit shows wrong distance

Hello!

I wonder if anyone has experienced this:

I had my first training with gear fit yesterday, and I noticed that Gear Fit had registered a longer distance than Endomondo on my phone did.

I did an experiment today, I ran about 5 km and used Gear Fit, Endomondo and Runkeeper to check.

Endomondo and Runkeeper showed 5,12 km, 32,02 min and average speed pr km 6 min 15 sec.

Gear Fit showed 6,32 km, 32,02 min and after transferring to S Health, S Health showed the same distance and time, and average speed pr km 11,7 km.

That's a difference of 1,2 km!!

Anyone experienced this, and maybe have a solution? thank you!

Multiple Bluetooth devices

Hello,

I have a question regarding Bluetooth connection: I have my phone connected to the car kit via Bluetooth. Can I still receive and notifications on the Gear fit? Can I control the media player from the Gear fit?

Thanks,

Mugur

http://mugur-ionescu.ro/tag/android
[Samsung Gear Fit] djurkash:
Good question!

I am curious about simultaneous connection to BT headphones and gear fit...
[Samsung Gear Fit] apallohadas:
Yes and yes.
[Samsung Gear Fit] bckrupps:
you can control your car stereo tracks using the media control on the neo so i assume its the same although its obviously awkward and dangerous lol.
[Samsung Gear Fit] TheFox37:
are you able to charge the battery without the original charger that came with the Fit? I tried on my laptop USB port and in my car without success :confused:

EDIT : I had to reboot the Fit, and it works now
[Samsung Gear Fit] dawheat:
So somehow battery usage has gotten much better on the Gear Fit Manager app. The first couple days it was using close to 20% of my phone's battery, but after a couple reboots (not specifically for the Fit), it has dropped and is now more like the original Gear Manager which never showed up in the battery manager.

I did switch from the weather watchface to the pedometer, so I wonder if the weather one was hitting the phone for gps+weather every time the watch face activated. I'm going to give it a couple more days on the pedometer to make sure it stays low and then test switching it back to weather and see if it shoots back up.
[Samsung Gear Fit] jconway1968:
Since you work for Samsung, do you have any info on when the updated S Health app is going to be released for all the non- S5 phones so we can sync our fit data?
[Samsung Gear Fit] bckrupps:
I use fitness for gear which is installed when you get the new gears. S-Health looks almost the exact same. I sideloaded it on my note 3 and it force closes. I have no idea whats going on as the apps are almost identical. I thought they were phasing S-Health out but its on the S5 I believe. Your guess is as good as mine.
[Samsung Gear Fit] djurkash:
I've heard that Samsung signed deal with Endomondo to support their app. Did anyone tried to use it right now with gear fit?
[Samsung Gear Fit] TheFox37:
tried Runtastic, Endomondo & Runkeeper but I wasn't able to connect my Fit
[Samsung Gear Fit] djurkash:
It should come eventually
[Samsung Gear Fit] TheFox37:
I hope, because I overall bought the Fit in order to get detailed stats about my HR during the exercices. Currently I use Fitness w/ Gear, but the stats are very poor.

(or I didn't find how to have any details about HR during a run)
[Samsung Gear Fit] nymviper1126:
Are there any background sans info ext/graphics ie. just blue pattern etc? Also, how long can you have it stay on after the motion?
[Samsung Gear Fit] apallohadas:
You can choose just a solid color if you'd like.

As for staying on, I don't know. Just takes a second to see the time unless you're swiping over to the pedometer or HR monitor.
[Samsung Gear Fit] AstroDigital:
The watch strap is too small.

The heart beat sensor too finicky, should have more options. If you can not do continuous maybe set it every hour, 30 minutes... but to manually run it.

The step counter I do not think is accurate, maybe a few hundred steps a day too high.

Can live with these faults hope it get upgrades and is made better.
[Samsung Gear Fit] andrawer:
Had mine for a week now...used it for notifications, pedometer, sleep tracking and biking.

The hardware, design, display, and user interaction of the Fit is excellent. No complaints.

Notifications for gmail and messaging work great for myself. :good:

However, the health aspect of the "fit" and sharing of meaningful data with my S5 is horrible and beyond confusing (Fitness for Gear, S Health mess:confused:). My opinion of course.

I also didn't realize that there probably won't be any future apps developed (my assumption) for the Fit like a simply display of golf course yardage sent from the S5.

I was planning on dumping my Garmin 220 watch and replacing it with my Fit and S5 in a waist belt or attached to my bicycle...but that's obviously a dream of mine and bad assumption.

So, simply based on the lack of shared health information sent from the Fit to my smartphone I will be returning it to Best Buy.

I might consider the Gear Neo since it will eventually have app development but I assume it's sharing of data with my smarphone will have similar issues?

Also a negative for me is the Gear fit app has been consistently the top user of battery on my S5. That surprised me.
[Samsung Gear Fit] waxedstrong:
Is anyone else having a problem with the fit calculating the calories correctly? I ran 5 miles and once it said I burned 40 calories and the second I burned 30. It also has a problem displaying my entire route in s health. It's mildly annoying that they are ok releasing subpar software and then charge you a premium for the device.
[Samsung Gear Fit] djurkash:
This all is based on your experience or you read it somewhere?

Can anybody demystify is the heart rate sensor usable like similar chest sensors or not...
[Samsung Gear Fit] apallohadas:
I disagree with him about the accuracy of the pedometer. I feel like it's pretty accurate.

Also the heart rate sensor is on your wrist, so it's not like a chest sensor.
[Samsung Gear Fit] AstroDigital:
I own one.

The heart rate sensor, you start it it the watch is positioned right the reading seems right.

Never owned a chest sensor
[Samsung Gear Fit] warriorpluto:
All of these Samsung gears that just came out all use that new Chinese operating system right?
[Samsung Gear Fit] SirLance99:
You mean Korean, right? Since, you know, South Korea is where Samsung is located.
[Samsung Gear Fit] apallohadas:
The Gear 2 and Neo use Tizen. The Fit uses a proprietary OS (made by a Korean company...)

pedometer accuracy?

Is anyone else experiencing excess step counts? It counts steps when I'm just sitting on the sofa. I returned my first device thinking it was just a bad device but it's still happening with the new one. Even in the morning when I turn off the sleep function it shows over 100 steps before I even get out of bed. Crazy. FWIW it does seem to be accurate when I'm exercising, just not when I'm inactive.
[Samsung Gear Fit] Mark0824:
My garmin vivofit also who showed steps taken when I woke up. With the fit I pause it when I go to sleep. I did find the fit measures more steps than the Garmin by about 300-500 per day but that is very minimal as far as calries go
[Samsung Gear Fit] tateg:
I tried it for a few days with the Gear Fit and a FitBit flex on the same arm. I had differences varying from a minimum of 700 to a maximum of 1400. The Gear Fit was always higher. I noticed that on my more active days the count was closer. The Fit seems to have an over sensitivity issue.
[Samsung Gear Fit] AstroDigital:
Noticed the same.

On days where I am lazy I look at the Fit :)
[Samsung Gear Fit] orlandojumpoff:
Yeah, I noticed the Gear Fit counts about 10-30 steps while I'm asleep, but I noticed my Fitbug Orb does this too. Does the Fitbit not do that? Aside from some steps being counted while I roll around in my sleep, I'm not having any other issues of counting while I'm sitting, standing, driving, etc.

Also, I'm having the opposite experience while I'm up and about when it comes to sensitivity... seems my Gear Fit misses steps rather than over-counting them. It's on point once I get going, but when I go from sitting or standing to moving it's like it lags slightly while it tries to figure out if I'm walking or just flailing my arms. The count stops on a dime along with my steps though. My Gear Fit seems to count about 100-300 steps less than my Fitbug Orb.
[Samsung Gear Fit] paparaji:
Totally agree, I have fit in one hand and fitbit in another. While active gear fit works great but when I am not active steps goes way over. around 300 - 500 steps over fitbit. I hope software update fixes this issue in future.
[Samsung Gear Fit] jurtsche:
i'd like to have a simple

- alarm clock

- pulse while sleep (off or every 10 or 15,30,60 minutes)
[Samsung Gear Fit] TheFletch:
Looks are fantastic, waterproof is useful. As a geek toy it is really fun.

A couple of changes via updates would really be great. It should warn you if you turn on the pedometer and have forgotten to turn off sleep, unless you walk in your sleep. If you want to keep track of your heart rate on a stationary bike or at the gym you have to turn on your GPS, if you can get reception.

Just a few thoughts after a few days use.

[Samsung Gear Fit] Asrafil:
Guys bought a FIT too and went biking with it yesterday. Odd thing happened. After 5km of more or less level road got to a steep climb and after 20 ou 30mts the FIT stopped the exercise saying it didn't detect any movement. And did that without even vibrating to notify me. I only saw it because went to check the heart rate and saw it. Synced with S Heath, saw the map and did happened a few seconds earlier. During the rest of the 30km ride this happened 3 more times so I ended up with 4 diferent exercises.Has anyone seen a similar behaviour????

[Samsung Gear Fit] Asrafil:
It did that already. 2 click to a choosen app and 3 clicks to send a message to a priority contact. The wierd is I had to update it manualy. Samsung Apps didn't do it on its own nor notified me. How about the cycling?? Has anyone tried it?

Sorry to steal so much space. I installed the Health Services apk and the S-Health apk and broke everything, although S -Health did replace Fitness in Gear fit manager. I had to remove everything and reinstall GF manager and Fitness for Gear to get things fixed and synced. I will try to be patient, not my strength.

I'm thinking this depends on the size and shape of each person's wrist. I've seen plenty of similar complaints from users on amazon, so you're definitely not alone, but I have not experienced a single unintended pop off after nearly a month of heavy use (I wear it almost 24/7).

standard clock colors

Hi,

here is a thought.

It would be nice to change to color of any standard clock (time).

These clocks with different options are all white included the wheater or second clock info and so on.

If you put a background behind the clock with lot of white in it in any way then the text or clock (time) and all

the other icons are not that visible or bad readable.

So one option is to stay away from white and lots of white in the background or just built a color picker

in the fit manager to change the color of the clock (time) or other icons.

that would be nice and code wise it shouldn't be that hard to code :silly:

regards.

i love it but sometimes the wakeup gesture doesnt work grrrr
[Samsung Gear Fit] ReggieSmith:
Personally, i like the device... but the software given by Samsung is all over the place and doesn't seem to want to talk to each other... there is Gear Manager, Gear fit Manager, S-Health and Fitness with Gear... you would think that since you can sync the data to a single Samsung account, there would be a single application that can talk to all of it's various devices and sync back & forth with the S health servers..

The frustration I have with all of this is really making me consider returning this device. What good is the device if you can't really look at and examine the data it is collecting?
