It costs not much to buy a good and basic fitness wearable tracking device in recent times and at the same
time as Fitbit’s latest products in same field are looking also very attractive, Samsung is also coming to
market to take part in this marathon. The Galaxy Fit, a latest Samsung fitness tracking device, is much
same as Fitbit Inspire HR, the price of both is same - $99 - and possibly, the Galaxy Fit can have better
sale in market.

SLIM BODY, MULTICOLORED DISPLAY

It is 0.95-inch supported by Gorilla Glass. But it is smaller than 1.04-inch, the Inspire HR display size.
You can order it not only in black but also in other colors. The AMOLED screen makes the display more
attractive, and the colorful display helps to point out different things easily.

With 120 x 240 resolution, sharp text and reasonable screen light, you can read the screen easily in sun
light.

It has very light weight, smart and small size profile, even you may forget that you have it on your wrist.
The surrounding silicone strap offers luxurious feeling without attracting much dust. You can change the
strap to improve the look.

SIMPLE INTERFACE
It has only one button and most of other activities are performed using touch screen. The button is used to
start the device, to move back to previous screen and to select any favorite workout.

The touch screen is very intelligent; smooth scrolling, just a little touch to light-up the screen. It will light
up with just raising the wrist.

The notifications are at left side and the widgets are at right side. Everything is easily manageable with its
companion app.

It also alerts you about our body moves for example, how much time you spend while sitting.

The notifications are cut-up, just tap on any. You need to swap some times to read full notification.

To reply any notification, you have to create some responses in advance to use later. It does not have
keyboard or voice writing features like similar other smart watches.
FITNESS TRACKING FEATURE
It can track more than 100 workout plans with Samsung Health app. It can also detect automatically your
workout plan when you change.

Its interesting feature is inactivity reminder when you stop your workout. It also informs how much time
has been passed during sitting.

The heart rate tracking is very important during every workout. In addition, it also track stress level. It
also informs if your heart rate reaches above average level. You can set time interval to check heart take
again and again to prevent battery power loss.

The Samsung Galaxy Fill does not have onboard-GPS and Inspire HR also has not. It needs your
Smartphone to use GPS and to stream music because it does not have internet memory.

SLEEP TRACKING
The sleep tracking is also possible even if you do not want to wear it on bed. Its sleeping data is almost
perfect. It also shows further details about your sleep.

BATTERY LIFE AND SAFETY FROM WATER

With 120mAh battery, it can keep working as long as one week and it is about 75% charged by factory. If
you track many activities daily and use its screen many times daily, its one battery cycle can reduce to 3
or 4 days.

If you want to track your swimming workout, you are lucky because its water resistant level is 5ATM.

An advanced feature: It has a water lock setting; it means that when water will hit its screen, the screen
will be activated. So, you can wear Samsung Galaxy Fit while bathing or in rain.

PRICE AND AVAILABILITY

The cost of Samsung Galaxy Fit is only $99. You can order it from Samsung’s website and some specific
online stores.

Now Samsung’s latest wearable fitness tracker is much more advanced than basics, and offers much
more experience than the Inspire HR. Only onboard-GPS and internet memory is missing, but still it is a
perfect wearable fitness tracker for both beginner and advanced athletes.
