I tried working out with a Fit, and it was a pretty mixed-bag experience. Deeper heart rate settings will let you enter a maximum heart rate to target coaching around. Running also has a coaching mode that bases its suggestions on your heart rate, telling you to speed up or slow down. All of them allow you to set goals of time, distance, or estimated calories burned, and you can show your heart rate right alongside the timer readout. The Fit has four different modes you can trigger: walking, running, cycling, and hiking. Heart rate data is checked continuously in exercise mode. Was the Fit intended to be worn this way? It's hard to tell. That's a better way to wear the Fit, by the way, because it's easier to check your step/heart rate status while exercising, and to read messages on the go. I did wear it when showering, eventually. I wore it when I washed my hands, but took it off when giving my son a bath. The Gear Fit is IP67 dust and water resistant, but it's not intended for swimming. My wife thought the whole band looked weirdly overly colorful, especially compared to the much more austere Fitbit Force (now discontinued) or Pebble Steel. I tried the black and orange bands Samsung says the bands will be available separately as well, but it hasn't specified pricing. You can choose among three band colors when purchasing: black, orange, and grey.
And while the Fit felt snug and comfy on my wrist, I did end up having mine pop off in the first day of use I'd be worried about it happening again. The rubberized plastic band holds the Fit's body in place, but it feels kind of cheap.

I'd advise a tighter fit, because the heart rate monitor, located on the unit's backside, needs to make contact with the skin in order to work. It lies flat against your wrist, snugly when the Fit's wristband is adjusted snugly. Under that curved glass and a chromed border, the rest of the Fit's base unit is plain black plastic.
And, if the fitness and watch elements can keep separate enough to not annoy. That's a formula that should be magic.if the execution, and the software, can make it all work. In practice, perfection remains elusive: Consider the Gear Fit a pared-down smartwatch that also tracks steps and heart rate, or consider it a fitness band with extras. In theory, it sounds like the perfect "chocolate and peanut butter" mixture I've always wanted in wrist tech: Get a fitness tracker and a real smartwatch onto one band, and suddenly all my needs were met. The Fit doesn't have its own apps, unlike last year's Galaxy Gear and this year's Gear 2 and Neo: instead, it has an extended set of on-board smart features.
But the Gear Fit is a new type of device, a hybrid of fitness band and smartwatch. The Gear 2 is the true smartwatch successor to the Galaxy Gear, and the Neo is its entry-level sibling.

The Galaxy name is gone completely - as is its underlying Android OS, now replaced with upstart Tizen - and there are three products to choose from: Gear Fit, Gear 2, and Gear 2 Neo. The Galaxy Gear, Samsung's vision of wearables in 2013, has been shelved in favor of a brand-new line of Gear wearables.
