25:41 Limitations, Recommendations & Conclusions
The Samsung Galaxy Fit 3 seems like a no-brainer; it has most of the Galaxy Watch’s functionalities, but at a fraction of the price. I bought this watch for the equivalent of about 65 dollars. Compare that to the Galaxy Watch 6, which is about 3-4 times more expensive at roughly 220 dollars. But, how does the actual performance of the Galaxy Fit 3 compare to the Galaxy Watch when it comes to health and sports tracking? Let’s find out: in this video I will systematically and scientifically test the heart rate and sleep tracking of the Galaxy Fit 3 and compare it to the performance of the Galaxy Watch, and I found some things I did not expect. As always, I want to start with the heart rate tracking performance, which I tested on myself and on my colleague Raphael.
Now, normally, I would next take a look at the GPS tracking performance. However, the Galaxy Fit 3 does not have built-in GPS, but it uses your phone’s GPS instead. So it will do just as well as your phone is at GPS tracking. So, what is my overall conclusion on the Galaxy Fit 3, is it a better bang for buck than the Galaxy Watch 6? Well, maybe… It is a decent smartwatch, and actually has way better battery life than the Galaxy Watch 6. The Galaxy Watch 6 is rated at about 40 hours, whereas the Galaxy Fit 3 is rated at 13 days. However, the Fit 3 just doesn’t feel very premium. It is very similar to so many other smart bands out there, like the Huawei Watch Fit 2 for instance, which is a bit more expensive, but has far superior heart rate tracking. Of course, that isn’t part of the Samsung ecosystem. However, if you want to stay in the Samsung ecosystem, I would personally rather buy an older Galaxy Watch, like the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4, than the Galaxy Fit3. Honestly, the recent Galaxy Watches, so the 4, 5 and 6 aren’t all that different, and you might be able to find the 4 or 5 for just over 100 dollars, which would be my preference. As you saw, in general, Galaxy Watches aren’t the best performers on me in terms of heart rate and sleep stage tracking, they are not terrible, but if you are not committed to the Samsung ecosystem, there are better choices in my opinion. Now, of course the results I showed you might vary from person-to-person, so please also check some other reviewers.

Please review huawei band 9 and honor band 9.
One of the best things that could happen was finding your scientific reviews on smartwatches since most reviews are quite mediocre and merely touch on the surface by just showing new features, but not testing and comparing with reliable devices out in the market. Thanks to you, I've bought the Fitbit Charge 6 and it's serving me pretty well especially when it comes to tracking exercises and MOST IMPORTANTLY WHEN IT COMES TO SLEEP TRACKING. ❤ Thanks a million, Rob, for doing an outsdandingly fabulous work! ❤

A few months ago, I discovered your channel after researching for what fitbit I should purchase. Thanks to your in-depth and unbiased analysis of each watch, I chose a Versa 4 as my main reason was for sleep stage tracking. Thanks again for taking the time and effort to make these. Keep it up, Rob!

Do not buy fitbit. They are cancer.
Today I searched about this device on your channel but I couldn't find and after a couple of hours you uploaded this video. What a coincidence! :)
Yesss finally!! The video I was waiting for 😍😍 thank you!!! Love from Chile 🇨🇱
I'm glad to see this testing, I've determined I don't really need a smartwatch but very interested in quality trackers as they do what I need at better prices and battery life. 👍🏼
Hey Rob, I just wanted to say that your tech videos are absolutely fantastic! Your expertise and attention to detail really shine through in every video you create. It's evident that you put a lot of effort into your content, and it's greatly appreciated. Keep up the amazing work, Rob! Looking forward to your future videos!❤
Based on Huawei's official pitch, the Huawei Band 9 boasts an improved sleep tracking feature. It's being hyped up as potentially the best Chinese fitness tracker for sleep monitoring. I'm really curious to see its actual performance.
Thanks for this review. These scientific reviews are the best because your videos are not just some stupid ads, but really useful tools for buying smartwatches. You truly are great. I was wondering if you were thinking about doing a review like this about the Huawei band 9. Thank you!

It's probably the same as 8, with ambient light sensor which is nice. I have the 8, it is very good.
I found your channel about 4-5 months ago, and I was glad I did. I have saved a bit a money, not buying devices that don't work as well as all the other reviewers recommend. I really like the in depth tests you carry out and the way you show the results of the tests. I saw a few days ago that Samsung had released a new watch, then I saw the international version, on Amazon. One of the reviewers I occasionally watch had mentioned it, so I came over here to see if you had reviewed. Great review. Just saved another U$68. 😁 Thank you for all your hard work.
Your videos are such a great reference for really evaluating fitness trackers - thanks so much for your work! After watching so many of your videos it seems that the only really valuable kindof-budget heartbeat tracker is the Huawei Watch Fit2 (apart from chest straps). Since no valuable budget alternative showed up so far I guess I should try this tracker....
Thanks for the review. Ever since I discovered your channel, I always head to your channel before I make any purchase decisions. Thank you very much and please keep up the good work.
I have been reviewing the fit 3 for the past week. I live in the US and bought it on Amazon. It connects to my phone and seems to work without issue. Thanks as always for the good information.
Long overdue review. Thanks ❤
Thanks for uploading this video, I have been considering this one for a while. The review does match it against other smart watches, but would also love it if you could throw in a tight comparison with other 'bands'. Given that these products are broadly divided into bands / watches / rings, my guess is the form factor may have some limitations on the capabilities. I could be wrong here, but would love to hear your thoughts on this.
Seems accuracy of data from a tracker is highly dependent upon the heart rate sensor....and the quality of the algorithm software, that interpret the data from the heart rate sensor(plus the other sensors). So, if a heart rate sensor is inaccurate...that's really all you need to know, if accuracy of tracking is important to you! 😉
I used it for 1 month, initially the measurements were not accurate, but from the second week they are almost perfect similar to the Apple Watch, perhaps Samsung's algorithm needs more time

Even though I have a charge 6 and am happy with it, I watch all your uploads lol. Been watching your videos for some time and you helped me choose to get the charge 6, since I wanted a fitness tracker and not a smartwatch, since I think that’s the whole point of my iPhone, for “smart” features. You give such insightful information and I just find your data analysis’ very interesting.

Yes, I have been waiting for this review since it was realised.
This exactly the kind of data I was looking for. Amazing work!
This are the channels that deserves more than a hundred thousand subscribers due to their scientific reviews, giving the viewers a knowledge/insight about the watches accuracy, reliability, credibility and precision. This is the channel that a real fitness person is looking, the accuracy, reliability, credibility and precision of the smart watch. Giving as an Idea if it's worth the spending. Thank You for this amazing reviews and Godspeed 🙂.
Hi Rob, in your overview of sleep tracking, the image where you marked the Samsung devices with red rectangles at 24:25 you missed the Galaxy 5 Pro which is the best performer of the Samsung-bunch. At 24:56 you highlight the Whoop strap devices and mention that it "isn't bad at all". The Galaxy 5 Pro tested better than the Whoop 4 which you highlighted. EDIT: You do bracket it later as one night only. I still would have appreciated if it had been highlighted together with the rest of the Samsung devices.
I was waiting for this as well! perfect review! i can't wait to watch your review on the galaxy ring though.

You're making the most useful reviews so they will see your effort sooner or later and they will start recognize you. 🤞
Honestly, i was excited for the Samsung fit 3 review since i bought Huawei watch fit 1 (which unfortunately being old is only present in few charts lol, so i assume it to be closer to huawei gt4 or somewhere below watch fit 2 for reference). I got it a couple of months ago which for roughly the same price of the fit 3. The Huawei watch fit at this point is 3 years since launch but seemed good for heart rate tracking. I got it for basic calisthenic workouts and running. This video was excellent considering the addition of 2nd test subject and new data for running session for comparison. Your videos have helped me in my buying the right fitness tracker for me. Overall, im happy with my huawei watch fit and would like to see it in the charts if possible lol. Jokes apart, thanks for providing such well presention of data. You are doing an amazing job man!
Great work is always. Thank you.
You rock man seriously the best reviwer
Hey Rob, Great Job 🎉! Would you also Test Withing devices Like The sleep Analyzer?

Much needed insights. also, I wish Fitbit had better hardware support in India.

When will you test Huawei Watch 4 Pro? Thx! Regarding the Samsung Fit 3, as usual, the sleep part is not correct, and the sports part has many hiccups regarding the correctness of the data.
What about Huawei watch 9 ..? Can you do a review soon?
Tks so so much for the elaborated tests. Huawei band 9 and huawei fit se next pls. No one seems to know huawei bands (from 6) and gt4 can broadcast hr data straight into a bicycle computer, thus eliminate the need for hr strap when cycling😊

Hi Rob? can you do a review on the huawei band 9? i think is comparable to the samsung fit 3
Huawei band 9 is available now, please do a review
Maybe it also has to do with the tightnest adjustment for the Fit 3 and other devices, since they both had different results in some scenarios?? I have the last years Galaxy watch and I got a custom band where I dont have to adjust every time you put it on your wrist! My watch may be slightly off but as a Nurse I know that when any device is too tight or loose any device can give a faulty reading with legit medical devices such as Heart rate, Blood pressure and SpO2 devices, especially if continuous movements are being read by these medical grade devices. The best accuracy overall is an EKG device that can overall read the rate, rhytm and electrical impulses against any device in the public market because it doesnt rely on the pulse on the wrist, since some people have weaker pulses when you try to find a pulse on a wrist.
Just ordered Huawei band 9. As in your band 8 review it was showed very reliable and accurate. So blindly went with band 9 this time. Will get it end of this month, hoping you’ll make a video on it soon too. Appreciate your reviews. 🙌🏻

Thanks for your great videos. I used the Fit 3 this morning. My Fit 3 gave me trash readings when we talk about heart rate and heart rate zones.... Samsung needs to build watches with better sensors. My Galaxy watch 6 have the same trash sensors. It gives me the same inaccurate readings. Tomorrow for my training I will go back to my peloton heart rate band. This band gives me very good readings. Have a great week!. Greetings Jonathan from Germany.

Oh to have scientific content... thanks as always. As a smartwatch wearer since they first appeared, I have recently gone back to mechanical watches and thus have been on the hunt for a discreet fit/smart band rather than my SGW6Classic or 5Pro. I have tried just about every smartband out there (thanks Prime returns) and finally this Samsung device is just about spot on. First is that it works just like WearOS but faster. It's the perfect size for function and form of a smart band It's accurate enough for my basic fitness requirements Its cheap for a quality brand Because I use a watch for time, I can use the fitbit for messages only and thus battery is wonderful And the most surprising thing is that it turns on/off so fast . This means it's ok to turn it off when sleeping or other times I don't really need smart function.
