Best review Mike, I was looking for a comparison between sleep tracking features and you did a good job there. I think the Galaxy Fit is best as a first tracker, but I personally will go with the FitBit for 2 reasons; 1st, I already have few years of tracking history on the FitBit account that I do not want to lose. 2nd, it syncs well with my food tracking app LoseIt. That's a huge part for those who want to control their weight
Thanks for this. I'm trying to decide which one to get. I'm still stuck at the moment, but you gave me a lot of info to work with! Update: I went with the Galaxy Fit and overall am very pleased. The find my phone feature is helpful for me. Display is lovely. Love being able to adjust the brightness. Having 10 exercises saved is very convenient. My only complaint is I can't get it to change the distance from km to miles (I see others online had the same problem). It doesn't bother me too much but I am more use to miles for distance.
@@gooddaymate1171 they seem very accurate. The sleep monitoring seems to pick up even when I wake up just for a minute. It's helped me stay on a consistent sleep schedule. For the heart rate- my mom had a cardiovascular event recently (arrythmia and tachycardia, she's ok) and I put my watch on her and changed the settings to constant monitor (I usually have it set for every 10 minutes) I was surprised how well the constant monitor worked. I figured "constant" really meant like every 15 seconds but no it was keeping track every second.
I am new to activity trackers. All my coworkers have fitbit. I bought the inspire 2. It was a cheap looking disaster. Bought the galaxy gear fit 2. Half the price and great buy!
Bought the galaxy fit a few days ago and was a little disappointed about the lack of gps, but I had no idea you could get it to work using the app. I always run with my phone anyway so this saved me from returning it!
I agree that they are better apps. They're clean, simple, and intuitive to use. I could also see why some could potentially be frustrated that you need two apps. Especially if anyone has a phone with 16GB of space
@@MikeOBrienMedia I am a samsung user and I ordered my Samsung Galaxy fit 2 days ago but the problem is I did not see any reviews but thankfully I think it is worth it
Mike, thank you for the great review! I'm actually trying to choose between Inspire, Galaxy fit and Xiaomi Mi Band 4 now. I used to have Fitbit Charge, then Fitbit Alta, and was about to get Inspire as well, but looks like Samsung might be a better choice. Does any of them track power training? Besides, do they track floors? Charge could do that, but in Alta for some reason this feature was missing to my frustration.
Before watching your video, I had just gotten the Inspire HR precisely because of your conclusion you give at the end of the video. Also I have to mention that Fitbit is pioneer in fitness tracking algorithm development; for me they're just more reliable because of it.
Galaxy Fit without a doubt.I have a galaxy fit and my sister has the Fitbit so i borrowed it for a month. And i have to say the galaxy fit just has a more premium look to it and its screen just seems more crisp. And the user interface is also a little more user friendly compared to the fitbit. Lastly the screen sensitivity is super good i barely have to swipe or tap twice at any point of time.
The differences for me are: (1) In Malaysia the Fitbit Inspire HR is 3 times the price of Galaxy Fit. (2) Although the former is pricier here the features are very basic and less aesthetic. (3) The Galaxy Fit doesn't come off easily because of the snug fit. The band for my Fitbit kept coming off. (4) Fitbit served me at least 1 year before it went crazy (froze! no amount of restarting unfreeze it! But it's OK now on its own after being "dead" for almost 2 weeks!). My Galaxy Fit is at the service centre after only 3 days! (5) In my opinion the Fitbit Inspire is a bit more accurate in its calorie tracking.
Thanks for the review! About the preference, I like the Samsung Galaxy Fit, it's more accurate and I'm sure about that because I have seen a lot of videos talking about the watch's accuracy. :)
I bought the Inspire HR and tree days later I got in to the swimming pool and my Fitbit stopped working. The App says is searching the band. Literally died.
@@roostersideburns3440 Yes, that's why I decided to keep it. I even had the MK smart watch, but so far with exercise options, sleep patterns, apps, now you do payments and battery life Fitbit is the best option. You won't regret it 😉
@@Benzilla1292 I got the Galaxy Fit because of it vibrant colors. And it has all I need. Both watches are great and they both do similar things but I like vibrant screen better so I went with a galaxy fit. But when I had my Iphone SE1, it had a hard time pairing. But since I upgraded my phone to the new Iphone SE2, it paired quickly and so easily. I like it.
Believe it or not, I have a Fitbit, but I have no interest in exercise! Yikes! I bought it for one reason - I can keep my cell in my purse on 'mute' and still know when I get a call. I do volunteer work (I am retired) and we do not take calls while with a client. My one problem is that on the Fitbit, it will vibrate on my wrist but most of the time the notification disappears before I can read it. After seeing your review, I think I will give the Fitbit to my DGD and get the Samsung Galaxy Fit for myself. Thanks for an informative review.
This was a good review. Covered a wide range of topics on the trackers. For me, I want a watch that tells time and date, and then also monitor workouts. I personally will be going with the galaxy fit, just hoping that my pixel 3 works well with it.
The best non-pro review of the Fitbit on the web. And non-pro is usually what you want with something personal and you something you wear. Day-to-day usability over lab tests though there is a place for lab tests. Not mentioned much: the actual app, website, paid versions and linking to other fitness sites (e.g. food / diet apps). You are marrying into a fitness family because you want your data in one place even when you upgrade your device. Choosing Fitbit or Samsung now probably means a 5-year commitment for most people if you actually use the app data. The device may be less important the the ecosystem.
after reading some reviews from people who had issues with the band on the Samsung model being so fragile, I think I might go with the fitbit. I really prefer the Samsung one in every way, display and features are so much better, but if the band isn't going to hold up and is so difficult to secure every day, then it's not worth it.
@@glovedcop69 After doing some research on youtube, I bought a Xiaomi Mi Band 4 (Global Version) on Amazon for $38. the XMB4 not a well-known brand. Many videos compare the XMB to the more expensive Galaxy Fit, and the Fitbit HR Inspire, which are both more than twice as much. For me the Mi band works great, I am not an athlete, but working on getting back into shape and losing some weight, so I am more interested in tracking my steps/activity on a daily basis, I don't really care about tracking my individual workouts or more specific information.I admit, the Galaxy Fit looks amazing as far as how many activities you can specifically track on it. Also the battery life on the XMB is incredible, I charged it when I first started using it 15 days ago, and I am at 55% battery life now.
12:38...if you have a samsung galaxy phone "its a no brainer to go for the galaxy fit" ? are you recommending samsung phone users don't go for the samsung watch !?
No, I just meant the fit is the better choice out of these two fitness bands if you have a Samsung phone! I'm reviewing the Galaxy watch active next week. That is also a fantastic choice for Samsung phone users!
Mike O'Brien 3 years ago I fell off a cliff from hiking 🥾 and almost died. I suffered severe brain trauma that left me unable to do any physical activities which resulted me gaining 100 pounds. I now am trying to lose that weight and need something to help me keep track and show progress. My girlfriend is helping as well with my meds and food intake. I’m just looking for the best possible watch that syncs well with my Samsung Galaxy S 10 5G.
Wow that is an intense series of events! Well if you have a Samsung phone, you should definitely get the Galaxy Fit! The comparability is fantastic. Thanks for watching!
Bought a Galaxy Fit and couldn't get my Iphone to recognize it even after talking to Samsung Support. Have returned it and since have heard of other IPhone users having the same problem. Are you aware of problems between the two?
If you have an older iphone as the iphone 8 then there is another app in the appstore you need to use from samsung. I also have a iphone xs max and fitbit doesnt connect to my phone
The problem, darling, is not Galaxy. The problem is u have an iPhone. Iphone will block anything that's no Iphone. That's the way they roll and it's been like this 4 ever. ( I had the first ipod ever made. That the reason I don't buy anything from iphone anymore. They are not compatible they don't want to be. They want their users only buy what they sell.
Hi Mike. Does the Samsung gives an alert if you have very high or very low heart rate? Does the alert sends to your mobile phone when connected via bluetooth?
How reliable is this with heartbeat? Is it realistic. I tried a budget one and it was totally off and I'm looking for something that is accurate as I want to train between 140 and 150 beats per minute
After a few months my Fitbit strap broke I'm on my third strap atm and it will randomly come off at work every few weeks-months, disconnects from the Fitbit on the side with the metal rod
These small fit trackers, all seem to be unfinished products🧐😬. The Galaxy is good but could be a little more accurate and the software could be compatible with IOS a little bit better. The Fitbit is also good on accuracy, but the display is terrible it’s unfinished, and the battery could also improve. Apple needs make a fit tracker pronto for my IPhone 11 but in the mean time, which one should I get??
Late at viewing but.... the Fitbit charge 3 is way better than the hr compared to their features being the same, the screen is way better. Never looked at the galaxy fit due to always having an Apple Watch and people told me to go the Fitbit route. My mom had the Alta when it first came out, but, never used it. Crazy how much technology has changed! Can tell fitbit has tried keeping the sleek design going.
The daily "distance walked" is based on the pedometer, so if you're not bouncing around a lot, no. I will note that the "Advanced Auto Fitness Tracking" on the Galaxy fit starts workouts automatically and confused my moped ride for a bicycle workout
@@MikeOBrienMedia ok. I have the Fitbit hR and a huge problem we the users have is that if u drive a car it will count like u have been walking 70 kilometers or more. And it's imposible to stop it.
If you have a moment, can you definitively tell me that calories burned during a workout are consistent with the actual workout? I have had this watch, and when I last had it, I would start a workout, and a minute in as an example, I would still NOT see calories burned. It would finally start, but it always seemed inconsistent. During vigorous exercise, an average individual will burn about 10 calories a minute. Do you see that occur with the Fit, or is it still lagging? thank you.
My 10th day using inspire hr and omg it was a mistake to get it. My diesel fashion band does a better job at tracking my movement. 4 out of 5 days I wake up and it registers 3000 steps on my fit bit. Wish I could take it back and just stick with Apple Watch
My mom wants a new tracker.. She has a Galaxy phone. I'm stuck between the Galaxy Fit, Fitbit Charge 3, and Versa Lite. I've thought about the Active watches but I think that's too much for her when she really wants to just get basic notifications and track her steps. I'm leaning towards the Fit. She will be 70 this year. Any thoughts?
I purchased the inspire HR, and my feelings are mixed. The only reason that made me prefer the Fitbit is HR measurements. But it's not very accurate for me. When i workout it will lose tracking for several minutes at once, then come back with an inaccurate reading for some other minutes before showing that makes sense again. It's very upsetting and completely ruins the purpose of this bracelet for me
Poor build quality. Touchscreen stops working after a few times of exposure to water. Had the same experience with 3 Fitbit devices. Also have heard the same issue from others.
Hi I have a fitbit inspire hr and I would say that uou didnt mention lots of good features. The notifications you can actually see if you swipe down from the main screen and you can dim your screen.
Great review and comparison between these two. Wish I got to watch this before I bought my Fitbit, which still does the job for me so no regrets there. The colored screen and 7~ dayish battery life are definitely tempting for me but I'd also wish that the Fitbit had more customisation and widgets to add/remove and more updates for the community. I do like Fitbit's app however since it does show me some useful data that I thought I wouldn't care to look at. How good is the Samsung's app? Any idea if they update it regularly?
honestly i think the fitbit should have the most credit because for the galaxy fit, it is owned by a phone brand and also that wasnt the best comparaison because the galay fit has more stuff i have the charge 3 and i think it will be a great comparaison!
Samsung fitness trackers are inaccurate for working out. They “look nicer” but It does not account for your heart rate during workouts so calories burned are totally inaccurate.
ukinam gago I owned and returned the gear fit 2 and 3, along with the Gear Sport. I’ve owned various Fitbits, Garmin vivofits and the Apple Watch series 2 and 3 to compare to.
The Galaxy fit sensors seem to be more accurate than the previous Samsung watches. HR is accurate within +/-2 BPM based on my testing. I'll be testing it more in a new video this week
Mike O'Brien the heart rate monitors themselves are pretty accurate but terrible with weight lifting. Very slow delay. What I’m saying really is your heart rate is not a factor when it comes to calories burned. Try tracking a workout and don’t do anything versus working out and the calories burned will say the same thing based on the type of exercise you select.
The super-short charging cable (3 inches?) on the Fitbit drives me crazy. What a stupid idea. Don't these companies ever test their products? I've also had a lot of trouble syncing my S10+ to the app.
Lol !! Haha. You are so right . Yes that stupid cable also drives me crazy . I'm going to try Samsung now. For starters the screen looks like I will be able to see something under California sun !
it is just when you flip it towards you and there is also a physical button at the side if you want to activate it that way instead. I have it and have been using it everyday 24/7 for the past month.
2 ways: you can either swipe down from the home face and activate underwater more (I showed this in the video) or you can start a swim workout and it automatically goes into underwater mode. Enjoy your new fitness tracker / watch!
The screen is their best product and imo the only product they should make anymore because everything else is overall dysfunctional. Their software sucks in every product they use. Their devices lag, glitch, hang, jump around, and operate very slowly. Headache to use

Dont reccomend salt water
It could potentally damage the circuitry
But at pools for swimming laps it works great
Samsung galaxy fit with a iPhone? And with the band can you get quality aftermarket ones that look like the fit bit traditional one?
How reliable is this with heartbeat? Is it realistic. I tried a budget one and it was totally off and I'm looking for something that is accurate as I want to train between 140 and 150 beats per minute
Try to measure your heart rate on your own while your watch takes the measurement, and see.
I had a Fitbit Versa for a short time and I feel like the Galaxy Fit is better and does more, and looks and feels so much higher quality.
Have you checked the latest update for the Galaxy Fit? I think connected GPS was added in it
Fitbit charge 4 has GPS built in no phone required
Mi band 4 at half price, does the job perfectly and beats both of them in battery life

What sport recognition can it recognize?
**Like biking?**
(Sorry I’m dumb)
(Also is it waterproof?)
Me both are waterproof and can be used to track swimming
Of course Samsung galaxy fit⌚️
So u are saying if I bought the galaxy and I go running with my phone it will not track my route ?
When is new Model Galaxy Fit be out in 2020 ?
galaxy fit was rubbish, heart rate read double, had to keep resetting it. Binned it.
You had me at find your phone feature!!
IKR? In between the couch cushions, car, dirty laundry basket!
great job man
it was doing that to show were your heart rate stopped it was measuring it in a different way
Great review and comparison between these two. Wish I got to watch this before I bought my Fitbit, which still does the job for me so no regrets there. The colored screen and 7~ dayish battery life are definitely tempting for me but I'd also wish that the Fitbit had more customisation and widgets to add/remove and more updates for the community. I do like Fitbit's app however since it does show me some useful data that I thought I wouldn't care to look at. How good is the Samsung's app? Any idea if they update it regularly?
I like it! And yeah there seem to be regular updates
honestly i think the fitbit should have the most credit because for the galaxy fit, it is owned by a phone brand and also that wasnt the best comparaison because the galay fit has more stuff
i have the charge 3 and i think it will be a great comparaison!
is your watch accurate/ step counting. calorie burned etc
Two watches? The legendary CEO of Swatch Nicholas Hayek (A LEGEND. Saved the entire Swiss watch industry. RIP.) used to wear five. So two is ok.
They both have guided breathing
Wish I saw this video before I got my inspire hr
Sammy Vukovic same brother same
Options/screen display barely matter, if you do only simple excercises like running, walking, swimming, i wouldnt worry
Will the Galaxy work as well with an IPhone 11??
Can you share how many days does the battery lasts on galaxy fit with continuous heart rate always on?
I have the fit..battery lasts about 4-5 days...it's really good
wth the fitbit screen is trash in comparison. crazy that they're the same price.
I agree that the screen quality is exceptionally poor for the price
it's a fit tracker not a smart watch (though the brightness thing kinda sucks) xd
When I see someone speaking about inspiration, I consistently reach out and say whats up. Just how long have you been designing videos?
Samsung fitness trackers are inaccurate for working out. They “look nicer” but It does not account for your heart rate during workouts so calories burned are totally inaccurate.
Proof?
ukinam gago I owned and returned the gear fit 2 and 3, along with the Gear Sport. I’ve owned various Fitbits, Garmin vivofits and the Apple Watch series 2 and 3 to compare to.
@@jmlgamer6335 So amongst those brands, what's the best one that you can recommend?
The Galaxy fit sensors seem to be more accurate than the previous Samsung watches. HR is accurate within +/-2 BPM based on my testing. I'll be testing it more in a new video this week
Mike O'Brien the heart rate monitors themselves are pretty accurate but terrible with weight lifting. Very slow delay. What I’m saying really is your heart rate is not a factor when it comes to calories burned. Try tracking a workout and don’t do anything versus working out and the calories burned will say the same thing based on the type of exercise you select.
Hi! Wich one of theese has a bigger screen?
How can I active the galaxy fit with only double tap?
What about the Garmin vivosmart 4? I would love a comparaison with this one :)
The super-short charging cable (3 inches?) on the Fitbit drives me crazy. What a stupid idea. Don't these companies ever test their products? I've also had a lot of trouble syncing my S10+ to the app.
Lol !! Haha. You are so right . Yes that stupid cable also drives me crazy . I'm going to try Samsung now. For starters the screen looks like I will be able to see something under California sun !
Could you check please is there an inactive alert (sitting too long alert) on the Fit?
Khac Nguyen I’m not entirely sure because I don’t own one but I’ve heard if you’re inactive for an hour it will send a notification to move around
@@keiraedwards_ I just checked in another video, it does have one
Yes, you can have the Fitbit notify you to be active (250 steps) every hour.
Is the galaxy fit screen is touch active or is it just when you flip it towards your face
it is just when you flip it towards you and there is also a physical button at the side if you want to activate it that way instead. I have it and have been using it everyday 24/7 for the past month.
Does samsung fit measures Spo2?
Im torn, ive been using fitbit for 7 yrs but i have a samsung phone.
How can i use underwatermode in galaxy fit when i swim?
2 ways: you can either swipe down from the home face and activate underwater more (I showed this in the video) or you can start a swim workout and it automatically goes into underwater mode. Enjoy your new fitness tracker / watch!
Are software updates possible for either of these devices?
I know Galaxy Fit gets software updates
Wobbly Bit Fitbit will update through your phone’s data or WiFi connection.
Very impressive
thanks!!
Thanks for watching!!
im more interested in the apps that come with them which is better
Galaxy
Finally!, someone that knows how to compare apples properly!. Thanks man for the fair and well balanced review
Emojis are not supported in quick response.
im worried the oled panel on the samsung will dull over time and does anyone know which is more accurate?
Samsung OLEDs are the best in the industry. You have nothing to worry about.
The screen is their best product and imo the only product they should make anymore because everything else is overall dysfunctional. Their software sucks in every product they use. Their devices lag, glitch, hang, jump around, and operate very slowly. Headache to use
The galaxy fit is an improved version of the gear fit 2 pro?
Sort of, yes
Loving my Galaxy Fit
Can Galaxy app keep track of my food I eat?
Yes
