UPDATE: Sleep testing is being re-tested - I have reset the watch and starting again. Will report back the result soon. (Thank you people)
UPDATE2: After reset: I can confirm that multiple sleep sessions does work on the Samsung Fit 3 and SPO2 also works a lot better. The original phone I used, was connected to more than one smartwatch, so I think a conflict caused some issues with sleep and SPO2. But after resetting and connecting to another phone, the Fit 3 worked perfectly. No issues.
Any update on this??
@@harrypotter_petronus Just posted an updated.
Thank you for this update. I was almost disappointed that it wouldnt record multiple sleeps. Glad to hear thats not an issue and SPO situation is better. In that case truly isnt much cons for this smartwatch!
Is it better than a Fitbit inspire 3 at sleep tracking ? And does it work on iPhone
i'm glad to know these things are working now, i bought one recently and i think it was a good buy
Ive been using mine for a while now. It really helped me track my hours sitting in front of the computer by monitoring my active time and steps. i realized that I needed to walk around more.
I can confirm that it does support multiple sleep sessions. This is the first time in my life that I have preferred to wear smartband while sleeping. My previous device was MiBand 4, which I've been using for almost 6 years, and I only used sleep tracking once.
Fit 3 is more comfortable to wear despite the bigger size, and the sleep data presentation is so fun and somewhat useful.
I'm using the "Events" feature in my MiBand 6 frequently, is this feature available in the Fit 3 ??
Thanks in advance.
It is available in Europe, just not everywhere in Europe, by choice of Samsung. They don't want this competing with their watches in more affluent countries. Got mine off a German webshop that ships to the UK. Weird choice really, as I have both. I want the Fit 3 to wear while I'm doing manual work, it's a lot cheaper to replace than a Watch 6 Classic if I damage it. Quite nice that the data from both devices integrates seemlessly in the Galaxy apps, unlike some other brands. If you're wearing the Fit 3 and do a walk, it will add that info to the stats of the day and also share it with my Watch 6.
Looks like Samsung is playing hide and seek with their products across Europe!
Love the channel. The sleep tracking sleeps and naps should show on phone within Samsung app for the watch. Can this watch vibrate and beep when getting notifications or alarms? Keep up the good work
I've had mine for a week. The battery life is about 5 days with AOD off and sleep tracking on. I find it accurate and actually faster than the Watch 6. My only complaint is the vibration for notifications could be stronger since it doesn't have a speaker. It's well worth it if you have a Samsung phone. What is impressive is the auto detect. I have the Watch 6 and when I switch to the Fit t 3 my ZFlip 5 automatically detects it.
Nice to hear your thoughts. How was sleep tracking for you, did it record multiple sleep sessions?
Yes. I find it more accurate and consistent than the Watch 6, and more comfortable because of the smaller size.
Is the heart rate sensor is good when you do fast walking ?
How accurate do you feel it is calories burned count?
I wear the Fit 3 for sleep and find it accurate. I wake up a few times a night, go to the toilet and back to sleep. Mine has no problem continuing the sleep tracking. I find it more accurate than my Watch 6 and far more comfortable to wear at night. My SPO2 is accurate enough.
Thank you so much. Great & thorough review ❤
Excellent review - very informative and objective. Just about to place my order based on this!
where did you get the watch face as is on 15:51? I have this watch face only in green and want it in blue.
i love good reviews this was an honest and amazing review thanks alot earned a subscribe :)
Thanks for the video, brother. Sad days that Ramadan is about to end. Happy fasting and best wishes for the channel.
Amazing review! I am also planning to gift it to my mom. Will it look large on thin wrist? The features seem appropriate for a senior person interested in light walking, general fitness tracking and call notification.
Hey thanks for the review!
Does it have HRV?
Hi, can it broadcast HR data over BLE?
Older ones could by disconnecting the band in the Wear app then you could see the band as a sensor in Strava app or Garmin devices etc.
Same question, please.
Does anyone know how the heart rate sensor works with tattoos as some really struggle to get an accurate reading
thanks for the review. when it comes to heart rate monitoring the question arises whether this smart watch records the heart rate accurate enough to be used as fitness tracker. now the challenge there is during workout sessions, depending on type of workout, the heart rate reading gets thrown off by vibration and noise. almost all watches can take heart rate reading accurately at rest but the only ones that can track workout sessions accurately are apple and Huawei. not even Garmin and Samsung watches has had been very effective. with that said, this watch can be an office wear at best(even though name suggests fitness tracker)
you don't have to do an actual workout to see what I m talking about. just put on this watch and just swing and shake your hand to mimic some workout. put on another smart watch on the other hand and keep it still so you can see the actual heart rate. you can clearly see the difference.
all smart watch for kid workout.
Does this work with other andriod phones example nothing or Motorola
Great review! Subbed!
Buying this for now. Me and my wife need it. Will wait for galaxy watch 7
Great review mate thanks 👍
Glad to hear mate, thanks 👍
I've bought this watch in India, and it's been about over a week.
The difference between your review and my experience is the following:
1. In India, all tracking options are disabled by default, and hr tracking is every 10 mins.
2. Sleep tracking in mine works totally fine. It does record multiple sleeps in a day. Once, I woke up early in the day and went for a run and slept again. Plus, I had another sleep in the evening it did record all 3 sleeps in a day and also spo2 for all sleeps separately.
3. I saw way more watch faces options in your video to what we have available in India.
U sleep 3 times in a day??? 😅
I really liked my Fit 3, but I had to return it because, after a while, it refused to sync heart rate data even after resetting it multiple times.
VERY NICE VIDEO. MY GALAXY FIT 3 SHOWS CONTINOUS HEART RATE DATA ON THE SCREEN BUT DOES NOT SYNC THE SAME WITH THE PHONE(GALAXY S23PLUS). THE PROBLEM IS LIMITED TO HEART RATE AND STRESS MEASURMENTS ONLY. THE BAND KEEPS THE PHONE SYNCED WITH STEPS DATA. U ALSO FACED THE SAME ISSUE OR IT IS PROBLEM WITH MY SETUP ONLY???
Im not sure what im missing, but if the sleep session do not work and i cant answer calls on this, just sms, what is the benefit of this watch? What does it give you plus compared to just using the samsung health app on you phone? Only hearth rate? Thx in advance!
My only gripe with this watch is that the friggin watch faces dont give me the info I want. For example i wish it would show day month year, i mean the basics.. time and what day it is, what month it is and year. Im using a nice watch face which says.. march sunday. So if im wondering what date of the month it is I have to check my phone, a bit ridiculous considering it would be so easy for watch face designers to add all that basic info into their designs, also the friggin date format is mm/dd/yy and i cant for the life of me change it to dd/mm/yy.
Why on earth do you need to know the day, month or year?
I know right? @@dardobartoli
It does support multiple sleep detection. I think you should connect your Fit 3 to the phone or update the OS
I have reset the watch and re-testing tonight.
Does the 24/7 stress tracking work even while you’re not still? I have a ticwatch pro 3 but the stress tracking only works when I’m sitting still or sleeping. It stops tracking when I’m working (desk work), the times when it would have been the most useful 😢 I’m thinking of getting a Garmin watch because of its true continuous stress tracking, but this watch’s price is so attractive.
Very strange that your GF3 does not pick up different sleep times during the night. I purchased a GF3 for my wife as she has trouble sleeping and I am looking at her sleep score from last night and it show all 3 of her times sleeping. 11:49 PM - 1:24 AM then the second from 3:00 AM - 3:32 AM and the third from 4:05 AM - 6:42 AM for a total "Actual sleep time" of 4 h 11 m and a "Total sleep time" of 4 h 44 m .... I would post a screenshot of it but you can not do that here on UA-cam. 🤔
Thanks for sharing, im going to reset mine and test the sleep again. If you can DM me a screenshot on Twitter (X) that would be great (@ChigzTechReview) Cheers.
@@ChigzTech Don't use X anymore but if you have Instagram or Facebook or WhatsApp or Signal or Telegram I would be more than happy to send you a few. I actually used her GF3 the first night as I wanted to compare the SP02 to my GW5 and it picked up my two sleep times.
Instagram @ChigzTechReview
It picked up my multiple nap time also 😂. Sorry I like to sleep.
@@wayne891004 Just turned 60.. my naps are my life now.. 🤪
Silver or grey which color looks more appealing in person?
Do you / does anyone have issues with Workout sync to Samsung Health if GPS is enabled? Mine cant sync if location permission is enabled (for walking/running). If it is disabled, it can be synced without GPS-tracking data. Phone is A32
Hi, so it comes with the bands??
What's that tiny hole below the button? Thought it was a speaker or mic at first but apparently its neither..
Barometer according to their site
@@HeinerDaddel Barometer tells atmospheric pressure and altitude. Where does Fit3 show these information?
Ive had it for almost 3 weeks and now my steps and activity have been resetting multiple times a day. Its like it never happened, very frustrating
Chigz Tech Reviews, Thanks for posting this video.
Always a pleasure!
Hi will the watch work with huawei phones?
I returned two Fit 3s. Both had this wild, runaway heart tracking. It would be very accurate part of the time and then for no reason while totally inactive just jump from the 50s to the 90s and even over 100 and get stuck there for extended periods. Activating a manual check and even re-setting the watch would never correct it. Just after a long period of time it would go back to reading normally. This was confirmed by a blood pressure cuff and by eating a Fitbit Charge 6 at the same time. The Fitbit remained steady and accurate in it's measurements. I loved the Fit 3 in every other aspect much better than the boring, small but accurate Charge 6. Samsung needs to issue a serious update to stabilize the Resting Heart Rate capabilities. If they do I'll likely buy it again.
Hi I bought it for mom, and the green light sensor always flashes. İs it an issue or did I setup anything wrong?
It's the heart rate sensor that's reading the heart rate
Not bad for the price, great review as always. 👍🏼🤠👍🏼
--Caltextech
Appreciated, thanks 👍
Can i silent my phone during incoming call?
What is the function of the hole at the side of the band?
Barometer
What happens if I go out for a run with it without my phone? Will it still track the activity?
Hope samsung fix multiple sleep tracking amd also give multiple time interval to auto measure o2 etc currently its only 10 minute interval, 1 hr 3 hr 6 hr would be better.
why the sensor keep blinking when HR is manual any idea?
Okay, I've this Fit 3 for a few days now. The battery really disappoints me. Before this I had OPPO Watch Free. This could easily last 7/9 days. The Fit 3 with AOD from 24 hours of use consumes 25% of the battery, so it would mean that it will only last 4 days and this is really low.
Do I need to adjust certain settings? Does anyone know?
Fit 3's AOD is a battery drainer, there is no way around it. If you leave AOD on then expect 4 days or less. I still think 4 days is not bad and it charges up pretty quick.
it is literally available in europe since the launch day :D :D had mine for a month or whatever maybe more basically bought it on the second day after release
Lucky Europe.
I've been using it for a couple weeks now and it has serious issues for those who intend to use it as Fitness Tracker. The step counter is a mess, the band doesnt register runnig or jogging trinings and when it does, the sync to the Samsung Health app does not work: Sometimes the watch do not sync the stats on the app and sometimes the app erases the stats from the watch. Its completelly broken right now.
I have decided after reviewing this version and Xiaomi 8 Pro
But is Xiaomi's Chinese version different from the global one? Because the price in my country makes a difference of 25 dollars
I use the Samsung Health App! Can I somehow link the readings from Xiaomi to Samsung Health
Can you use a EU version in the UK?
Is it count steps correctly?
Is it worth to buy?, because i would like to buy my first smart watch which looks premium and good software experience because i use redmi k 60 phone , as u know xiaomi phone are always not good in software optimization.
Can u recommend which one should I choose CMF watch pro or Fit3 ?
The Fit 3 is 50% Fitness watch and 50% Smart watch. You can do excercise, spo2, stress and heart rate reading (Fitness watch features) and also reply to messages, see you calendar and calculator (Smart watch features). I suggest if you have an extra money go for a proper smartwatch that has a mic, speaker, gps and NFC. But if you only want to do some things like excercise, reply on chats then this watch will do.
How accurate does the step counter seem to be?
Seems pretty good to me.
Its available in Cyprus which is in Europe for €69.90
I want to buy this because of the FALL DETECTION FEATURE. But will it work with my Mom's Samsung A20 (Android 11 ONEUI 3.1)?
Yeah
for sure it will work, The Samsung Galaxy Fit 3 officially works with Samsung Galaxy smartphones running Android 10.0 (or above) and with at least 1.5GB of memory, so you are fine
thanks for the update@@NostalgicMem0ries 😀
Heyy is it fast charging if i charge it from my phone directly? And is it safe?
I have not tried it. But it might be too much voltage for the watch. I don't think the phone can adjust voltage automatically like a power supply. So avoid it.
Hello... :-) I am from Philippines. My fit 3 did record multiple sleep, furthere more I can also see the total of multiple sleep. Exactly like watch 6.
Thanks for sharing, this is good news. I have reset my watch and am re-testing the sleep side. Will update soon.
Its available to buy in Poland
this is awesome bro
I got this watch and it’s decent as you say. The battery is incredible. Last me 13 days. Can you recommend a similar size watch that can give me alerts of my phone is downstairs and my watch is upstairs with me? 10m Bluetooth is useless and I don’t want eSIM option. Apple Watch has WiFi functionality and is good. Anything else you would suggest?
I think all bands/watches at this price point use bluetooth, will probably need to look at proper smart watches to get wifi connectivity. I know the Ticwatch Pro 5 and Galaxy watch 6 have it, for instance, but they're 3-4 times the price of this fitness tracker.
Most smartwatches will be using BT for connectivity with your phone. Apple watch is different, as it logs you into your iCloud so works a bit more independently. Nothing compares to what apple watch can do. But your solution might be a watch that takes a physical sim card. Zeblaze Thor Ultra ( review coming soon)
why cant i add calculator on my tiles?
Will this work for iPhones?
Over the years I've noticed that most of the functions on a smart watch or fitness band are irrelevant to me apart from GPS, accurate heart beat sensors and a 5-9 day battery life. The possibility to NFC payments is a bonus. I have Galaxy Watch 4 Classic and Huawei Watch Fit SE. I wear the Huawei one 90% of the time.
I like Huawei too, thanks for sharing your thoughts. Also Honor Band 9 review is coming soon.
Yeah it can actually record multiple sleep stages
It recorded multiple sleep stages on mine
I considered The Galaxy Fit 3 to replace my Fitbit Charge 4.
(not switching to Google next year)
But Samsung just made them incompatible with my iphone.
I have the fit3 now 10 days ago, taken from Amazon for 70 euros I think the Croatian version anyway setting Italy everything works perfect, but the battery lasts 3/4 days with everything on including always on display while without it I reach the max 5 days now I'm trying without option snoring as you eat approximately at night 7%, the only thing that makes me angry is widgets where date and month cannot be used edit and remain in English Has anyone managed to change them to some other language? Make me know your ratings.... and we hope for an update
I think the brightness needs to be lowest you can handle, and switch of adaptive and AOD needs to be off. Then see you will achieve much better battery.
Xiaomi watch 8 pro or the samsing fit 3 ? Thnxxxxx🎉
If you own a Samsung device then go for the Fit 3.
Im saving up for this to buy it for my mom for her birthday even if i am a bit late 😭
That's so thoughtful of you! I'm sure your mom will appreciate the gift no matter when it arrives.
Can you review the 2024 New Dm62 4G Android Smartwatch AMOLED Big Screen Ultra 4G it looks worth it and I'm curious
Will look into it, thanks for the suggestion.
Awesome 👌
my fit3 did record multiple sleep events
Dont forget to tell the the people you have to connect to bluetooth and install the app !!😊
I did mention it in the video. Can you find where?
Thanks but, it always flashing, and disturbing at nights. I use watch 6 astro , it flashes few times a day. But fit3 never stops flashing 😞.
At night put your phone into do not disturb and it won’t flash. In the day time just configure which apps you want active for notification and problem solved.
Another "Con" you might want to know about is that Camera Controller App is locked into the Samsung eco system. The App disappears if you pair it to a non-Samsung phone and from what I have seen on other reviews it has to be a Samsung Phone running at least One UI version 6.0 or above. I did confirm it works with my A52 but does not work with her Essential PH-1
Nice one, thanks for sharing. I only tested it on my Samsung for the first few days. Tried iPhone and it would not connect. Did not get a chance to test on another Android.
It does record multiple sleep events.
❤❤❤❤❤
does it has zone 2 for heart rate ?
Yes it does.
This or Mi Band 8 ?
I wish it support sideloading face watch. Thats the only thing preventing me get it
huawei band exist for many many years a go..😊
Yes indeed and they are pretty good.
Having no multiple sleeps is a big no no for me. So I will not be purchasing this watch because of it. Great video Chigz
Yes it did not work for me, but a few people are claiming that it does work. So now im re-testing the sleep part and will share my findings in a day or 2.
Retested, the feature works.
WAIT.... 10 Watch Faces storage is "low space" ?? Seriously?
Bro, how many Watch Faces do you need to use at the same time?
My dream galaxy watch :
Circular dial like watch 6/5/4
RTOS with gallery support ( to watch stored pics and videos ) , no need of Play Store support and loads of apps
8 GB minimum inbuilt storage
1GB minimum Ram
RTOS itself will give 3 days minimum battery life ( addon will be a bigger battery to get a week's life )
All basic health features till now.
Can priced upto 50,60% of normal wear OS watches. ( Win win for Samsung too , by not sharing revenue to Google )
I don't know Samsung RnD is doing 😂
i would live smartwatch from samsung similar like apple ultra, that shape is just so cool, feels like 90s futuristic tech imagined. just my main issue that it must avr 7-14days batery life with most trackings on except aod, that is my perfectiion
It doesn't connect with iOS app
Is there a NFC like for payment
Nope, it's just a budget fitness tracker, no NFC, none of them tend to have it.
NFC no supported.
Xiaomi Band 8 pro has NFC, slightly limited but it works.
is it working on iphone?
No, it doesn't
The iPhone app is called Samsung Fit, and Fit 2 is the most recent watch you connect through the APP. Samsung needs to update the APP then it will work on iPhone. Will try it daily and when it works will drop another video to show it.
Bit closer to a watch in size rather than a sport fitness tracker
Yes I know what you mean, i actually like this size / aspect ratio.
OK, so I've bought one from Amazon (not sure why it's still not available on Samsung UK)
The biggest surprise is how fast it is. Not just between screens/functions etc, but also turning off and on. OMG it's incredible
As for the size, it's compact enough to wear as fitness tracker thingy and a real watch on my other wrist.
Can see my Pro5 and GW6Classic becoming redundant!
It's now available on amazon UK but the reviews aint great.
Thanks for sharing. Link added to description.
3:04 Wo wo wo, no NFC?, OK. that sucks in 2024 Samsung.
You should put xiaomi 2 pro to the comparison....no1 by far!(265$)
That's not true, there is multiple sleep record. Mine is galaxy fit 3
DAMN THE PRICE IS SO EXPENSIVE I GOT MINE FOR 59 USD AND I LIVE IN THE US
I think your watch is not built properly, my Spo2 is accurate with fit 3
Samsung has fit band?? 😮
Yes indeed 👍
Yeah, only took them 3.5 years to release a new version after the Fit 2 :)
Lol, very long time and not that ground breaking either. (16MB + 256MB)
No bro my fit 3 does give me multiple sleep tracking
Don't buy Fit3 watch. The step counter only works if you have your phone with you. You gotta carry your phone around for the Fit3 to count your steps. Otherwise, your phone data will mess with the Fit3's data and override with phone steps count.
1D10T. You're everywhere with this comment when you're wrong
People have been saying this works fine. You're just stoopid to figure it out.
😁😁😁👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
Not support IOS device 😢
Not ios compatible 😢
4:20 😒
