SAMSUNG Galaxy Fit 2 Bluetooth Fitness Tracking Smart Band – Scarlet (US Version)

I mostly just needed a band that could give me push notifications for text and calls. It's hard to find a "smart watch" that isn't really expensive, and the more affordable fitness bands are less likely to have the push notifications. This band does both at an affordable price. Finally something in my price range that isn't made by some weird Chinese company with 5 different brand names. I've had the band for about a month now. I really enjoy the sleep tracking and get more out of the step counts than I thought I would. Push notifications work perfectly and can set up custom auto responses to choose from on texts. It takes a fairly short amount of time to charge from almost dead full so usually will charge when I am playing on the computer and don't miss out on any of the fitness tracking really, and one charge will last me about a week. I wear it in the shower, beat the heck out of it at work and it is still going. Update: after 6 months of use, still going strong despite me beating the heck out of it regularly. My screen is a bit scratched now but other than that is still perfect. I bought a second one for my wife and she also loves hers. Bands really get dirty easy if you do real work, I recommend buying a pack of extra bands and using dark colors when at work. Biggest problem at this point is these are not being made any more so harder to find at a reasonable price. I had to look around to get the one for my wife. Update November 2023: I've now been wearing this band for 2 years straight, only ever take it off to charge. It's lasted through a lot of wear and tear (the screen has a few little dings and scratches but still very readable), my original band broke a month or so ago(extra bands are easy to find), and battery life is t what it used to be (it used to last about a week on a charge now it's a few days). I still really enjoy it and for the price point you won't find something this nice. My wife's is also still going strong and getting regular use. I noticed someone is selling them again for $59 on this listing and I'm seriously considering buying a spare in case mine ever finally kicks the bucket. I think that's a steal for a very reliable band.

I'm not a tech junkie nor do I know the ends and outs of smart-watches or fitness trackers so I'll only speak to how the Samsung Galaxy Fit 2 fitness smart band works for me. First off, I'm used to full size watches so the thin profile of this band feels different. It's clock face options are limited but effective. I was able to select a clock face that let's me see exactly what I want. You can't customize the clock face and from what I see there's no developers building other options so if you like to customize you'll be out of luck at the moment. The sleep tracking function is really good. Works well enough to caption those 3AM wake ups that haunt me nightly. And when I say wake ups, that's exactly what happens... on the dot 3AM and I'm awake. The visual display of sleep details shows the time I'm awake. I've not seen this in other sleep trackers. The sleep score seems to be spot on as well, I can only go off of how I'm feeling in the morning. Low score matches sleepy mornings. App message and notifications works well but it can be sluggish at times. Some apps may not transmit well to the band but then again, it's a fitness tracker and not a smart watch interface for my door locks and tv alerts. I'm really happy with the battery life. I run FULL BORE on this band, meaning I don't limit anything. My "turn on" by motion is always running, I have the backlight at 100% and all alerts that I can receive are also turned on. Normally any other smart watch I've had would tank battery life in a couple of days but this band seems to carry for over a week on a single charge. I'm aggressive with my bands so you may get more life out of yours. And for fitness tracking. 100% transparency! I've not been really good at working out with the band on but the step counter is always on and working. It seems to be within a tolerable level of accuracy. I count my steps and watch as the counter updates and looks like it may miss one or two steps per every 100 actual steps. I'm still learning if there's a way to zero in and calibrate the counter. The heartbeat monitor is also a nice function that seems to work well enough. And there's also a stress level meter that I can say works pretty as advertised. All in all if you want a fitness tracker and don't mind not having a talk to text function of a smart watch this band should be one of the top on your list especially if you're not tied to any Apple products and like Samsung and Android.

It was a little confusing getting the watch up & running. It didn't start working immediately after charging, but I think it was due to not saying yes to all the required items in the user agreement. I still don't really understand why they need access to all of your contacts, your files & photos. Anyway, once I agreed and rebooted, it started up like a charm. Pretty intuitive & easy to figure out on your own, but the user manual is brief and to the point. My only confusion was understanding what a long tap was and that the bottom center of the face is the " button" to turn it on. FEATURES: I was most interested in tracking steps, cycling, heart rate, stress tracker and most of all, the sleep tracker. All are easy to use and provide the info I'm looking for. Can't speak to the accuracy yet, but it seems about right to me. BATTERY LIFE: I'm on day 3 of 24 hour use & battery is only down about 10%. EASE OF USE: Wish there was a power button on the watch itself, a bit of work to manage the watches features via the 2 apps required for use, but not horrible. You don't need to be connected to your phone for it to track info, but eventually need to sync it through the app. BTW, I have a cheap samsung go phone, and it works & syncs just fine. Visually, it looks sleek, not cheap, and right sized for my female wrist, but I think it would look fine for a man too. It's easy to read in the sunlight providing you have the brightness level up a bit. Also has numerous choices for the watch face, so you're able to tailor it to show the features that are important to you. So far, I'm very pleased with it!

estaba dudoso si comprarlo ya que mi celular puede medir el pulso cardiaco pero es excelente para hacer ejercicios ya que la medición es continua. es muy exacto ya que comparé el heartrate del reloj con el resultado de mi oxímetro y eran idénticos. se conecta perfecto con Samsung Galaxy s9+ (es el que tengo) y es muy fácil de configurar. para cargarlo viene con su cable USB que es corto y tiene unos contactos especiales. carga bastante rápido y según el manual la carga dura 15 días. algo que me gusta es que se integra con la app Samsung Health que sirve para caminatas, correr, trotar etc por lo que te va diciendo en tiempo real el pulso cardiaco, pasos (y gracias a la aplicación del celular te registra distancia que falta, progreso y hasta ubicación en mapa). Es una maravilla. el diseño es elegante y lo único que no me gusta es el diseño de la correa, que me cuesta trabajo ponerme el reloj cada día, pero ni modo, es tan bueno el producto que le dejo 5 estrellas. compré rojo por ser más barato que el negro y porque tengo tenis que tienen tonos rojos así que combina. el servicio de amazon como siempre impecable, lo compré sábado 10pm y me llegó al otro día domingo antes de las 12 del día. increíble!

Considero que esta smart band es una compra con beneficio costo-calidad, no creo que sea un costo elevado y es suuuper práctico de usar y configurar si ya cuentas con un celular de la marca, se sincroniza muy bien con la app de Samsung Health, te llegan tus notificaciones de WA y de otras aplicaciones que tu quieras configurar para que te alerte y puedes contestar desde la misma smart band (mensajes cortos) y también puedes declinar llamadas, el conteo de calorías y pasos es correcto al igual que la detección del ejercicio.

Works well seamlessly linked to Android phone. Battery life is good about a week for recharge.

Very good price and quality product

Lo que no me gustó mucho es que decían que su batería 🔋 tardaba hasta 21 días pero en lo personal me tarda 15 o 17 días dependiendo el uso, En lo demás si cumple con lo que promete!
