Half a year before I bought the Samsung Gear Fit2, my aunt told me about her watch, it could count steps and tell her how she slept! Just the idea of having more insight about things like this and the calorie consumption and the need of getting rid of a couple of kilo's triggered the wish of having one too. Around X-mass the time was right. I searched the Internet, watched review after review and choose the Samsung Gear Fit2!
If you ask me "what triggered you to buy this watch"? I would say "it was a combination of the reviews on the Internet and YouTube and that I could link it to the S-Health app". This is a great app! It contains all products you can eat with there calories, vat %, etc.
Did the Samsung Gear Fit2 meet my expectations?
Right, this is what the blog is about. And yes, it certainly did! Why? I'll tell you:
- The band fits great! I had seen reviews where the band got loose all the time. I have the watch for about 3 months now, it happened maybe twice, but i did not loose the watch. Keep in mind. If you want to buy this watch, choose the band in which you have spare holes both ways! Your wrist can vary about 4 holes from day to day!
- The display is very nice! The fact that you can have different displays is cool. You can adjust the colors to your outfit or mood. You can even download displays, I didn't feel the need.
- I trained with the watch in the fitness. The first time I was stunned; after rowing for 10 minutes, my watch vibrated on my arm. It had detected that I was doing a workout on the rowing machine. It captured things like hart beat, calorie consumption and duration, I did not have to do a thing!
- I saw that other users eihter didn't feel or didn't like the vibration, for me it is just fine.
- The interface between the Samsung Gear Fit2 and the S-health app is unbelievable. Things like sleep record, your walks (incl. Distance, hight, weather, map with the route, calories burned, time, chart with heartrate and speed, etc.)
- My watch is accurate in counting the stairs.
- One of my favorites is that alarms or messages on my phones are passed on to the watch! You feel a vibration and can turn it off on the watch. It is also possible to reply to for example messenger or WhatsApp messages.
Is there anything I don't like?
Hummm let me think really hard. Oh, of course:
- Like with a smartphone, it is sometimes hard to see what's on the display when it is very bright outside. You can adjust it, so for me again, it has not been an issue so far.
- The battery does not last very long, 2 days at the most.
I did not use the possibility of playing music yet, as I do not have wireless aerplugs. I also did not go under water with it (eventhough it should be possible).
Let's conclude this review by saying that for me this is a great watch that I enjoy having it on me ever minute of the day.
I hope you liked the review and that it helped you with your choise.
