Introducing the Samsung Galaxy Fit 3

In the ever-evolving world of wearable technology, fitness bands once dominated the market. However, the surge in smartwatch popularity has left fitness bands struggling to maintain their presence. The key reason behind this shift is financial; companies find higher profit margins in smartwatches, thus narrowing the fitness band market. But can the Samsung Galaxy Fit 3 change that narrative? After its launch in Europe and now available in the U.S. for a mere $60, this fitness tracker promises a lot for its price. Having tested the Galaxy Fit 3 for a week, let’s dive into what this budget-friendly tracker has to offer.

Design and Comfort of the Galaxy Fit 3

Lightweight, Stylish, and Comfortable

The Galaxy Fit 3 is lightweight and features a sleek design that complements practically any wrist size. Available in three colors—black, silver with white, and gold with champagne—is not only stylish but also incredibly comfortable, thanks to its soft sports loop band. The 1.6” AMOLED display provides high visibility for notifications and enhances the user experience with vivid colors.

Software and Features

Fluid Navigation and User-Friendly Software

I encountered a minor hitch during setup; while the Galaxy Fit 3 is compatible with Android, it’s not listed in the Galaxy Fit iOS app, which may frustrate some users. However, connecting it to an Android device was seamless. Navigation is straightforward with one side button for various functions, while the touchscreen is responsive and lag-free, which was a pleasant surprise for a budget gadget.

Workout Tracking

The Galaxy Fit 3 lacks built-in GPS but can connect to your phone’s GPS via Bluetooth for outdoor workouts. It supports an impressive range of over 100 types of exercises and generates comprehensive workout data through the Samsung Health app.

Health and Sleep Monitoring

Samsung's sleep tracking feature adds a fun twist to the data by designating a "sleep animal" based on your sleeping patterns. Although these representations lack scientific backing, they make the overall experience enjoyable. Along with detailed insights into sleep stages and duration, there's also cycle tracking available.

Battery Life and Charging

Extended Battery Life

The Galaxy Fit 3 houses a 208mAh battery that can last up to 13 days under optimal use, though more strenuous use may yield around four days. Charging is facilitated through a proprietary magnetic cable, which connects effortlessly.

Final Thoughts on the Samsung Galaxy Fit 3

To sum up, the Galaxy Fit 3 presents a compelling option for those seeking an affordable fitness tracker with elegant design and reliable features, despite some shortcomings in accuracy for serious workout tracking. It competes well against other budget-friendly options like the Xiaomi Mi Band series, particularly in terms of user experience and design. For those in need of built-in GPS, a higher investment is necessary to obtain a full-featured smartwatch.
