Samsung Galaxy Gear Fit

The new Samsung Galaxy Gear Fit is one of the most futuristic and spy like devices available to the public. Who ever thought they would find a way to make a watch that can be used just like a phone? That is unless you’re a secret agent. At first, it almost seemed too good to be true, but after actually seeing this technology in person and testing it out for a while, the smartwatch truly is worth purchasing and every penny spent. It’s enjoyable and extremely convenient to have something that can read my heartbeat, play music, talk to friends, and check up on what is going on with social media.

Screen

For such a small device, the writing on the screen is crisp and clear which makes it easy to read without squinting and straining your eyes. The color and contrast is also equally impressive. Even when the sun is shining and you would expect a difficulty viewing the screen, new technology reduces the glare and creates an ease of use. Due to the fact that it is a watch on your wrist, the screen is a tad small but that’s better than it being too big and gaudy. It’s the perfect size for something you would want to wear on your arm, sporting a curved AMOLED touchscreen display measuring 1.84” in length.

Notifications

The Samsung Gear Fit has the capability to connect with social media sites and provide updates and notifications promptly. One great thing about this is the software in the phone lets you select which notifications you want to receive on the Gear Fit. This eliminates excess notifications as well as anything you don’t need to hear about immediately. There is also the option for you decide if you would like the screen to turn on when you receive a notification.

Text messages and emails

When receiving a text message it is really easy to read and easy to reply. You would think with the screen being on the small side that it would be harder to reply and read texts but it really is not and that’s what makes it so useful. When it comes to emailing it is a little harder to read compared to text messages. On the bright side, if it is too hard for you to read you can select show on device and the phone will show it on the screen immediately.

Media

It is surprising hearing how loud the speakers get when looking at something so small. You can move to the pervious or next song and set the volume. The only downfall is not being able to see the song name that is playing as well as the album art.

The Bottom Line

The Samsung galaxy gear fit is overall a great value. What better way to be able to exercise while keeping track of your heart rate and having a coach on there pushing you through the exercise. It is nice having a watch that is just like a phone and not oversized for all it can do.

Pros

• Small and convenient
• Adjustable notifications
• Clear text
• Exercise coach/hear rate tracker.

Cons

• Steep price
• Emails can be difficult to read
