Galaxy Fit 3 - Review You Need

So it's been 2 years since Samsung launched any fitness band But but it did with the Samsung Galaxy Fit 3 So there are very few fitness trackers in India which work properly Rest the market is already flooded with lots of toy smartwatches Special thanks to these guys But Samsung's reputation of smartwatches is good in the market But what about this fitness tracker? So these 4 categories will decide the reputation of this band in the market Design, Software, Data Accuracy and its Battery Life And

it's lagging behind in these 2 categories Sorry for the Spoiler guys, let's go Considering it's 2024 and Samsung has still decided to go with non-uniform and thick bezels Which looks a little off in my opinion By the way, the display of the band is great It's an AMOLED panel and the brightness is also very good In indoors and outdoors as well The brightness is very good I'm not throwing NITS number over here Because as you already know, it's a gimmicky part Watch faces are also good There are m

any present in this And the watch face It also blends with AOD If you took other bands of different brands Then you will see design is now very common among these The actual form factor of the band has gone from the market Good old Mi Band days If you used to use Mi Band then you will definitely remember Now the form factor is rectangular And you can see how it is looking on medium sized wrist Personally, I feel that for thin wrist, this band will be a little bigger in size But that's personal t

aste Even the locking mechanism of the straps is Apple's And you can't change You will have to buy regular aftermarket straps You will have to buy the straps of Samsung Fit 3 series Which will fit in this Which I personally did not like Overall quality is very good And it is quite soft and comfortable But there is no display protection in this Nor is it Gorilla Glass And Samsung has mentioned something here And there is also a water resistant rating So you can dip it up to 5 ATM in water And it

will not get spoiled So everything is quite common, right? Like competition is also providing the same thing Samsung is also providing the same thing But still Samsung is getting slight edge Over the competition Because these two products are of similar quality But the bundle of things that it is providing Which is not providing competition It comes with a metallic build Rest of the bands also come at a similar price But none of them comes with a metallic build All are made of plastic material S

econd important perk is That you get an auto brightness sensor in this It automatically adjusts the brightness according to the light conditions Plus it has a 60Hz smooth refresh rate panel Which is not present in the rest of the bands Well, we got to see the same thing in Xiaomi band 8 last year And it works very well But still we will say that things are quite similar It does not look very new And especially those rotten bezels Up and down And it has a big fat chin But things will be a little

different As we move into the next category So in practical terms The screen of these bands is a little small So you can't put everything in it Either you have to compromise with some functionalities Animation, smoothness and what not But Samsung is like Will not provide you everything But will provide you some things in a polished way So here are some polished things that Samsung is providing you in a polished way So here are some polished features that this band is having And we will talk abou

t the missing features as well First of all, it feels very smooth And look at those animations It is very snappy Even the lift reach to wake is so proper And the icons are also looking good Customization is also good You can edit tiles on the go And shuffle it Quick panel is also customizable And Samsung's galaxy watch is very inspired I mean its icons, animations And the settings that you can change in it You can also customize the actions of the home button You can also customize the settings

according to your needs On double click, you can select workout modes By pressing 5 times, emergency mode is activated And your emergency contacts go to your location Plus, you can also see your medical information On screen, which is a handy feature If you are in trouble Every time you receive a notification on your phone It reflects on the band And yes, you can reply to notifications But there is a catch Since there is no keyboard in this So you will have to save some replies in advance You ca

n choose them And you can reply to them But I liked one thing That it is applicable on all the applications I mean, I can reply to WhatsApp messages By choosing from the saved replies Music controls are there But still you can't scroll the playlist I mean, Samsung can do it in Galaxy watch They could have done it in this too One special thing that I saw in this band Is that it has a calendar application Which is actually a handy feature And you can easily select tasks and events On the band's sc

reen Samsung's Galaxy watch that runs on Vero Samsung has added two features to it DND sync feature In which if you are putting the band in DND Then automatically your phone will also run in DND And all the things will be DND You can put water lock on the screen So that it won't take any unauthorized touches Which is useful Plus there is a unique thing in this band Its software is so optimized That if you start the workout and minimize it Then it will run in the background And you can perform th

e rest of the things in it Which is a small thing But still many bands and watches Lack this feature Handling application is also good Here Samsung has made two separate apps One is a wearable application Through which its watch and band gets connected And the other application is a health application So whatever watch and band settings you want to change You can do it through the wearable application And in the health application You will get to see all the health related metrics So it's simple

And Apple does the same thing Apple has a health application And Apple has a watch application So it will be hard for Samsung to speak People will hear the fan voice So I will not say much things But anyways the application is quite good It's polished and all the things work properly And everything gets customized properly Settings and all get changed Which is a good thing Now I am shaking my hand like this So see here Auto workout has started And it is recording workout from 20 minutes So this

is also a feature of Samsung Which got triggered in the middle Okay so these were all the compliments of this band And these were polished things Now we will talk about The things that are missing from it And Samsung could have provided it In the competition there is Amazfit Band 7 Which is a bit cheaper in price And it has ZEPP OS present In which you can install apps from outside By using ZEPP store You will think what can be installed You can install chat GPT In this band there is a keyboard

So you can type letters Plus for navigation you can install maps application But sadly Samsung doesn't have anything like that here And it is not good Bluetooth calling is not there It's 2024 Samsung what are you doing You are taking 5000 rupees And you are not installing bluetooth calling in it Well you can silent call notification And you can reply with message too It is not supported in iPhone Yes you heard it right It is not compatible with iOS I was expecting that it will support NFC So th

ey will be able to do contactless payment etc And my expectations are more because This is Samsung's And Samsung does good things So it should have been done Now a very important thing which is missing from this That is inbuilt GPS chip So inbuilt GPS is not present in this Whenever you will do outdoor workout Or outdoor cycling or outdoor running Then you have to carry your mobile along with you For GPS syncing Then only you will be able to track and sync your routes with the band Otherwise it

will not work Samsung told that it has fall detection feature But I tried to fall multiple times But it never detected So these are my mixed thoughts about this band And in this category I would say That Samsung has checked a lot of important basic things here Okay so the next category is very important As it could make this smart band A wonderful fitness tracker So let's break it as an average Indian toy smart watch Okay so majority of people will buy this band For fitness tracking purpose And

for fitness tracking there are two sensors in this band One for heart rate and other for SPO2 In simple words to measure your health metric So at first we will check out its heart rate sensor accuracy Now to check the accuracy of heart rate sensor I am using Polar H10 ECG Chest Strap Which is 99% accurate device So what we will do is Now in both devices I mean in Polar H10 Chest Strap And at the same time in Galaxy Fit 3 We will run the workout And at last we will compare both the data And see h

ow much difference it makes So now you know where we are going Let's go for outdoor cycling Well it comes with 100 workout modes And starting a workout mode is very easy and quick On workout screen you can see the metrics Such as your current heart rate Timing And you also get music controls Just for changing tracks and everything So workout interface is quite good It records all the things well But the main question is How accurate is its heart rate sensor So for that let's get straight into th

e comparison So I have performed 19-20 km cycling workout And duration was around 1 hour So the graph you are seeing here It has data of Polar H10 ECG Chest Strap Which is 99% accurate And the data of Galaxy Fit 3 You can see the comparison of both the data That how much the graph is close to each other So the blue dots The graph which is being taken by the blue dots That is of Galaxy Fit 3 And the orange dots That is of Polar H10 So where there are a lot of fluctuations in the heart rate It has

not been able to cope up at all You can see that the heart rate is showing quite low Of Galaxy Fit 3 And the heart rate of Polar H10 is quite bumping So when I do intense workout So my BPM The heart rate goes up a lot Like it goes above 200 Not for a lot of people But it does for me So all the fitness bands that I have reviewed so far All of them leave the data after going above 200 Means they can't cope up at all Alright So in the case of intense workout It is definitely struggling The cycle s

tarts to speed up a lot Suddenly 45-50 km/hr It starts to slow down Then the elevation comes Then the cycle slows down So in that case The heart rate goes up a lot Then it goes low Bump low Bump low So this does not happen with everyone But if you do a normal workout Follow the same rhythm throughout the workout Then it will perform very well Because as you can see Where there are a lot of spikes in the graph The data has gone up and down That's where it is struggling The rest of the place is co

ping well Moving further into the sleep monitoring part So I have used Apple Watch Series 8 here To compare its data Because Apple Watch Series 8 Is the most accurate sleep monitoring device And I have recorded the data of two nights here In the first night's data I got to see a lot of difference It was not able to cope at all With Apple Watch Series 8 Overall sleep duration Is a little matching here But REM Plus core sleep Light sleep Deep sleep Is not matching at all There is a lot of differen

ce Now in the other night's data I got to see some close readings But still it is creating a lot of difference In sleep monitoring As you can see over here The overall sleep duration is very similar But the rest of the other in-depth metrics Are a bit different And awake time is showing complete error So I would say in terms of sleep monitoring It is not very accurate I mean it is okay okay types And with the software update Maybe Samsung can fix this Maybe I don't know Coming to SpO2 sensor So

it is very accurate As I compared it with Galaxy Watch 4 And I have taken readings at an equal interval of time Like 1-2 hours And you can see Quite accurate readings have come And there is one most important thing That its calorie tracker Is very inaccurate Keep this thing in your mind We will discuss it in some time And it supports Strava and Google fit So you can sync its data With Strava and Google fit So talking about the steps monitoring part So it is fairly accurate But there is a catch I

t is only accurate in workout mode If you look at the data for the whole day Then it is fairly inaccurate Because how many times you are shaking your hands Who knows But in specific workout mode It is fairly accurate Now coming to the last category So I am using this band From the last 3-4 days I have turned on all the 24x7 features and modes Even AOD Always on display is also on So the battery of this band Is dropping by 20-30% in a day If you are using it properly So in simple words If you use

it extensively Then it will work for 2-3 days Now it may sound a little weird Because marketing is done at a very different angle And the reality is at a very different angle Now coming to the final judgement part To design, build and display I will give 8/10 Software and hardware 8/10 straight In terms of data accuracy I will give 6/10 I will justify it in a while And in terms of battery life 8/10 Because all the budget fitness trackers Provide the same battery life So the simple thing is If y

ou keep the sleep monitoring aside And perform normal workout Not an intense workout Like I do it very intensely Then in that case You can consider this band Because its software is very good And in under 5000 There are no other bands Which you can get close to it Now if you remember I had told you that The calorie tracker of this band Is not at all accurate And in the whole world All the smartwatches sold in the market Companies lie to you And sell you smartwatches That its calorie tracker is p
