At first, I could not see the details of my data because the app told me I needed to "sync with my Samsung account," even though I'd already done that. (Note: The Galaxy S4 does have an older version of the S Health app, but for some reason, you are not prompted to pair the Gear Fit with this app.) Regardless of the version of your phone, you'll have to create a Samsung account. If you have a Galaxy S5 phone, you can use the watch with the S Health app, which comes installed. I didn't realize at first that I needed to take this extra step. Using the smartwtach itself is fairly straightforward, but I encountered a number of frustrating moments while setting up the device and working with the accompanying apps.įirst, if you use the smartwatch with a phone as old as or older than the Galaxy S4, you'll have to install not only an app to manage the device (the Gear Fit Manager), but also a separate app to view your data (the Fitness with Gear app). The watch will sync wirelessly with your phone, though it only works with Samsung phones. You can also set the device to receive notifications, including alerts of incoming calls, emails or alarms. For example, selecting the pedometer icon shows you how many steps you walked you can see a history of your daily steps over the last week, too. (The Gear Fit does not continuously track your heart rate, except during exercise sessions.) You can view most of your data on the Gear Fit itself. It also provides a way to track your sleep and exercise (including walking, running, cycling or hiking), and check your heart rate. The Samsung Gear Fit allows receiving notifications of incoming calls, emails or alarms.įeatures on the device include a timer, stopwatch and pedometer.
