Samsung Gear Fit 2

Actually, we have/had two - my wife and me. We used them for few years now. We encountered the same problems as other dissatisfied people here. Absolute rubbish - design and material. Bands unreliable, my wife had the band undone by itself, almost lost the gizmo. So the band was replaced with 3rd party with a genuine lock. Latch does not lock it properly anyway and it can separate the band from the watch. In mine - total loss, crumbled plastic around a latch, no way to glue due to material (silicone). Both units developed poor contact and are v...

I bought one of these back in late 2017 after saving up for a couple of months. By mid 2018 the product would not charge. I noticed on an overseas trip in February 2018 that the device would not charge right away when placed on the dock and that I would have to fiddle with it a bit to get it to charge. Eventually the product stopped charging altogether because the gold contacts on the back of the device (that connect to the charger) wore away because my sweat corroded them away -- what kind of silly design flaw is that?

I took the product to ...

Gear Fit 2, stupid watch cant tell the differance between being asleep and inactive, during the day when I am inactive watch saying asleep, during the night while asleep saying inactive

I have had ongoing issues with my Gearfit Pro 2 band. Within the first year it broke twice, the first time I took it in for service they replaced it under warranty, within 3 weeks it broke again and they would not take it back, I had to stand my ground as the guy kept on saying it is OK now, even though it would fall off in bed and at work. Eventually they repaired it. It broke again during the pandemic, so when we were able to travel to the city I took it in and ordered a new band. Within a few months of receiving that it broke, I sent it bac...

and this is doing it for 2 years without a problem, Apps allow to download what I do and even tells me when to get up and twist! Why the armband could not be replaced - mentioned here - beats me. Takes 1 minute. I had several "smart" watches before - different brands incl.Fitbit. Not one has lasted this long.
I have Gear Fit2R5AJ505x27D. If somebody feels to make report/critic here then also say what model you are talking about!. I paid ~$AU 100 for it - and it is worth it to me -FOR MY PURPOSE!!!!

This product has been fairly reliable. The only problem I have is that it refuses to register the end of my exercise time if I go over 40 minutes. I have to shut it off and lose my exercise time. If I don't turn it off it will use up the battery. I do like the sleep tracker and the product has held up very well otherwise.

Purchased first gear fit pro 2 in July 18, August 18 swapped out for a new one as the one I had had major issues... fast forward a year, and Sept 19, issues again... send watch to Sydney from Western Australia to be told white screen not present during testing, $40 for watch band replacement... well now March 20 and again having problems with a screen that fades out mid use, white screen again, reboots whenever the hell it wants... I was a Samsung gal that introduced Samsung to my Family but looking very quickly now at swapping again

Contacted today that it was going to cost $270 to repair, it is still under warranty and it is the second time in 18months it has gone in for repair.
This time caught in a never ending rebooting loop, battery life was hopeless spent more time on charger than arm, to put into battery saver mode is unreadable. Going into bin!

Finally threw this rubbish product away after 18 months use, both band straps broke off, can't be replaced, terrible product not worth the money paid. Stupid Samsung wanted me to send the product to their Sydney service centre, I live on the Sunshine Coast. Will never touch another Samsung wearable again. Purchase a Fitbit which is far superior, half the price of the Samsung, works well, is accurate, 7-9 days battery life wearing 24/7

I've had this watch for three years now and it's still going strong. Love how small and narrow it is. I've had to replace the band once, mainly due to my own doing (got stuck behind a chair). Tip: replace the standard band with a metal link one. I bought a third party band online and it makes the watch look quite classy. Some reviewers here get very angry over a broken band, it is a small and cheap effort to replace it.

There is one catch: I don't use it for intensive exercise, got a chest strap for that. I don't think the watch is water proof as even sweaty palms can throw it off balance. It is perfectly fine for running, cycling and hiking though. Live the built in GPS.

The Gear Fit 2 Pro was my first fitness tracker. My main activities are swimming (both pool & open water) as well as walking, running and cycling. Many of my swimming friends were using fitness trackers and smart watches to track their workouts and events. A large bulk of them had the Apple Watch which produced some really good maps of swims. So this is what prompted me to look at a wearable. I have a Samsung S8 and have loved all my Samsung phones so it was natural that a Samsung wearable was my go to. For Christmas 2017 I got myself this watc...

Great device. Bought myself and hubby one
1. Water proofing not good. Had to be fixed in first year. Now 2-3 months later went in surf watch will not turn on even after rinsing. Looks like another trip to repair, as I suspect its a leak again I hope it comes under their warranty. Not willing to pay for it just to leak a 3rd time.
2. Hubby's band broke, Samsung dont supply spare bands and want to charge to put one on as it's not covered under warranty. Got generic from ebay which broke, got 2nd from ebay, lasting well.

Samsung customer service is the worst! As are their products. I have a Samsung Gear Fit2Pro watch that only lasted 2 years. They refused to fix it. The band is separating from the main watch face and is now unsafe to wear. I asked to speak with a manager and was refused. I will be replacing a lot of electronics in my house this year and non of them will be Samsung. I will never purchase another Samsung product as both their products and customer service are trash.

This watch gets mixed reviews online but it works well enough for me and if you have the same needs, I recommend it to you too. I do one session of exercise every few days, am not a professional or serious amateur, exercise indoors and out, and don't wear my smartwatch for anything but exercise.
Favourite features: available for good prices online (e.g. less than $100), has preset exercise types (e.g. running, walking, elliptical), quick launch of music, connects to Spotify offline (no need to carry your phone around!), sufficiently accurate m...

I used to my band since 2016 year. I very glad what a bought this product.
It very functional and helpful. I use it every day, i sleep with it. I get many information about my health taught thus device.
