Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 June 2024
I don't usually write reviews, but I can't recommend this watch enough. 5 stars from me.
My Fitbit randomly stopped working after just over 1 year (the warranty is conveniently only 1 year). This was my 2nd Fitbit in just over 2 years that had stopped working, so I decided to look at what other watches were out there.
I was shocked at how much cheaper this Samsung Fit3 watch was compared to others, but the reviews looked good, so I thought I would give it a try... and I'm so glad I did. For a fraction of the price of any equivalent Fitbit or Apple Watch, this Fit3 can do everything and more. It took me less than 1 minute to set it up and connect it to my phone. It tracks my steps, calories burned, heart rate, sleep etc. which was my main reason for getting it. But it's the other features that really set it apart...
- Clock face: Small enough that it's comfortable to sleep in, but big enough that you can easily read your messages. I also LOVE that you can set a custom clock face with any picture.
- WhatsApp notifications: Easily read your WhatsApp messages and you can even reply on your watch using a selection of pre-set responses (which you can edit) if you're feeling super lazy.
- Alarms: You can easily view and cancel alarms that you have set for tomorrow, and when they go off, you can snooze them or acknowledge them through the watch. No need to go and get your phone from the other room when the alarm goes off.
- Weather: You can view live local weather information and the forecast for the next few days.
- Music Controls: You can control the audio on your phone e.g. Spotify.
- Calendar: You can see what appointments and meetings you have coming up.
- Emails: Your can read your emails through the watch.
- Battery life: Easily lasts over a week (apparently 13 days).
- Waterproof and dustproof: I can't speak for this as I always take off the watch in the shower anyway, but it's good to have some peace of mind in case I do ever get it wet.
There's probably even more features that I haven't discovered yet, but I'm honestly so impressed by this watch. I can only think of 2 downsides:
- To get the full range of features, you need to be connected to your phone via Bluetooth 24/7, which does drain your phone battery life a little bit.
- I'm pretty sure it's only compatible with android phones (best with Samsung phones) - sorry Apple users, you're missing out!
Overall, I would highly recommend. It's the best £55 I have ever spent.
