Samsung Galaxy Fit 3 Honest Review | Great but Some Issues!

[@ChigzTech]

UPDATE: Sleep testing is being re-tested - I have reset the watch and starting again. Will report back the result soon. (Thank you people) UPDATE2: After reset: I can confirm that multiple sleep sessions does work on the Samsung Fit 3 and SPO2 also works a lot better. The original phone I used, was connected to more than one smartwatch, so I think a conflict caused some issues with sleep and SPO2. But after resetting and connecting to another phone, the Fit 3 worked perfectly. No issues.

[@harrypotter_petronus]

Any update on this??

[@ChigzTech]

@@harrypotter_petronus Just posted an updated.

[@pragaming9868]

Thank you for this update. I was almost disappointed that it wouldnt record multiple sleeps. Glad to hear thats not an issue and SPO situation is better. In that case truly isnt much cons for this smartwatch!

[@craigtv1362]

Is it better than a Fitbit inspire 3 at sleep tracking ? And does it work on iPhone

[@ja.martini]

i'm glad to know these things are working now, i bought one recently and i think it was a good buy

[@ljacobs357]

I wear the Fit 3 for sleep and find it accurate. I wake up a few times a night, go to the toilet and back to sleep. Mine has no problem continuing the sleep tracking. I find it more accurate than my Watch 6 and far more comfortable to wear at night. My SPO2 is accurate enough.

[@boomboxx9079]

@@ljacobs357 Yap. It's very accurate. I'm someone who really struggles so much with sleep and this thing is a game changer.

[@arnand1st727]

I can confirm that it does support multiple sleep sessions. This is the first time in my life that I have preferred to wear smartband while sleeping. My previous device was MiBand 4, which I've been using for almost 6 years, and I only used sleep tracking once. Fit 3 is more comfortable to wear despite the bigger size, and the sleep data presentation is so fun and somewhat useful.

[@Sabith_Nadakkavil]

I'm using the "Events" feature in my MiBand 6 frequently, is this feature available in the Fit 3 ?? Thanks in advance.

[@vivekjoshi789]

Most of the ‘tech reviewers’ these days just blurt out the specs and fill the videos with ‘unboxing’ stuff. You on the other hand, did a proper ownership review of the product! Kudos and keep up with the good work! Subscribed.

[@karlo7893]

Ive been using mine for a while now. It really helped me track my hours sitting in front of the computer by monitoring my active time and steps. i realized that I needed to walk around more.

[@Resilience93]

lmao imaging needing a watch to tell you've been sitting for too long

[@ihsan75y]

how to detect that ? im just bought fit3

[@ianwarshaw790]

​@@Resilience93wtf? What's the purpose of this comment?

[@michaeldendulk2230]

It is available in Europe, just not everywhere in Europe, by choice of Samsung. They don't want this competing with their watches in more affluent countries. Got mine off a German webshop that ships to the UK. Weird choice really, as I have both. I want the Fit 3 to wear while I'm doing manual work, it's a lot cheaper to replace than a Watch 6 Classic if I damage it. Quite nice that the data from both devices integrates seemlessly in the Galaxy apps, unlike some other brands. If you're wearing the Fit 3 and do a walk, it will add that info to the stats of the day and also share it with my Watch 6.

[@ChigzTech]

Looks like Samsung is playing hide and seek with their products across Europe!

[@Hangrytaco]

Omg thats great! I currently use watch 5 and looking to get it as a secondary for sleep etc

[@ljacobs357]

I've had mine for a week. The battery life is about 5 days with AOD off and sleep tracking on. I find it accurate and actually faster than the Watch 6. My only complaint is the vibration for notifications could be stronger since it doesn't have a speaker. It's well worth it if you have a Samsung phone. What is impressive is the auto detect. I have the Watch 6 and when I switch to the Fit t 3 my ZFlip 5 automatically detects it.

[@ChigzTech]

Nice to hear your thoughts. How was sleep tracking for you, did it record multiple sleep sessions?

[@ljacobs357]

Yes. I find it more accurate and consistent than the Watch 6, and more comfortable because of the smaller size.

Very strange that your GF3 does not pick up different sleep times during the night. I purchased a GF3 for my wife as she has trouble sleeping and I am looking at her sleep score from last night and it show all 3 of her times sleeping. 11:49 PM - 1:24 AM then the second from 3:00 AM - 3:32 AM and the third from 4:05 AM - 6:42 AM for a total "Actual sleep time" of 4 h 11 m and a "Total sleep time" of 4 h 44 m .... I would post a screenshot of it but you can not do that here on KZbin. 🤔

I've bought this watch in India, and it's been about over a week. The difference between your review and my experience is the following: 1. In India, all tracking options are disabled by default, and hr tracking is every 10 mins. 2. Sleep tracking in mine works totally fine. It does record multiple sleeps in a day. Once, I woke up early in the day and went for a run and slept again. Plus, I had another sleep in the evening it did record all 3 sleeps in a day and also spo2 for all sleeps separately. 3. I saw way more watch faces options in your video to what we have available in India.

[@theruralindependent]

I returned two Fit 3s. Both had this wild, runaway heart tracking. It would be very accurate part of the time and then for no reason while totally inactive just jump from the 50s to the 90s and even over 100 and get stuck there for extended periods. Activating a manual check and even re-setting the watch would never correct it. Just after a long period of time it would go back to reading normally. This was confirmed by a blood pressure cuff and by eating a Fitbit Charge 6 at the same time. The Fitbit remained steady and accurate in it's measurements. I loved the Fit 3 in every other aspect much better than the boring, small but accurate Charge 6. Samsung needs to issue a serious update to stabilize the Resting Heart Rate capabilities. If they do I'll likely buy it again.

[@cgoroo]

my fit3 did record multiple sleep events

[@Apex543]

thanks for the review. when it comes to heart rate monitoring the question arises whether this smart watch records the heart rate accurate enough to be used as fitness tracker. now the challenge there is during workout sessions, depending on type of workout, the heart rate reading gets thrown off by vibration and noise. almost all watches can take heart rate reading accurately at rest but the only ones that can track workout sessions accurately are apple and Huawei. not even Garmin and Samsung watches has had been very effective. with that said, this watch can be an office wear at best(even though name suggests fitness tracker) you don't have to do an actual workout to see what I m talking about. just put on this watch and just swing and shake your hand to mimic some workout. put on another smart watch on the other hand and keep it still so you can see the actual heart rate. you can clearly see the difference.

Apple Watch has WiFi functionality and is good. Anything else you would suggest?

[@michaeldendulk2230]

I think all bands/watches at this price point use bluetooth, will probably need to look at proper smart watches to get wifi connectivity. I know the Ticwatch Pro 5 and Galaxy watch 6 have it, for instance, but they're 3-4 times the price of this fitness tracker.

[@ChigzTech]

Most smartwatches will be using BT for connectivity with your phone. Apple watch is different, as it logs you into your iCloud so works a bit more independently. Nothing compares to what apple watch can do. But your solution might be a watch that takes a physical sim card. Zeblaze Thor Ultra ( review coming soon)

I suggest if you have an extra money go for a proper smartwatch that has a mic, speaker, gps and NFC. But if you only want to do some things like excercise, reply on chats then this watch will do.

Fit 3's AOD is a battery drainer, there is no way around it. If you leave AOD on then expect 4 days or less. I still think 4 days is not bad and it charges up pretty quick.
