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.

Thanks for watching!

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.

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.

This is interesting. You can try disabling some of the advanced tracking features.

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.

@@TechMishka When I had the Fit 3 paired with my S24+, it would normally sync heart data to my phone via the Samsung Health app. However, after a while (typically a day of activity) it would just stop sending data. I tried switching between manual and continuous heart measuring, clearing the Fit 3 Plugin/Galaxy Wearable cache, and even resesting/repairing the Fit 3, but the same issue would happen. Eventually it stopped syncing heart data altogether. It still synced steps, stress measurements, SpO2 data, and only some exercises. For example it synced data from a stationary bike ride but refuses to synced a walk. It was very annoying and I was upset because I really liked the Fit 3. Other people were having similar issues over on the Fit subreddit but Samsung isn't addressing it.

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

That's why it is fitness and not smart watch. For that price i don't think that anyone has to offer GPS. Even xiomi smart band 8 doesn't have GPS. I am having my phone with me when i train.

I am thinking of buying one of those straps around my arm for phones.

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.

However, even without app I was able to get the walking feature operational, which led me to expect that heart rate monitor would work as well. Samsung tech support said to wait til phone arrives, which makes sense in hindsight. But the Fit 3 error message was all about positioning the watch rather than "Get the app, dummy". Otherwise, watch looks great.
