So Samsung just quietly launched this new rectangular watch, and now that I’ve been using it for about two weeks, I actually love it, which makes you wonder, why did Samsung keep this launch so quiet? Also, when I first opened it, I had a ton of questions, like does it run WearOS, how accurate is it, how did Samsung manage to make the battery last 13 days?

ADDITIONAL VIDEO NOTES:
So this is the brand new Samsung Galaxy Fit3. A name that some enthusiasts may recall from their old smart band lineup from several years ago. But unlike the old Galaxy Fit or Fit2, this device actually competes head to head with the Galaxy Watch6 in many regards. It has over 100 tracked activities, it has the full Samsung health app, it has a 1.6” AMOLED display, sleep tracking, weather, media controls, remote shutter, and much more. Oh, and did I mention, it’s only $65?
So let’s start with that question about the operating system. Does this run WearOS?
Well, no. Samsung made their own operating system here which allows for a much longer battery life despite the large display and constant biometric tracking.
Showcase the UI
Movement reminders
Notifications
Almost all apps have notifications
The button really only does one thing
No third party apps though
Basically the core essentials from the Galaxy Watch6 except a few things I’ll highlight in a minute
Now the second question: Why did Samsung choose this design? What is it capable of and what can it not do?
Design tour
Sandblasted aluminum
Barometer
Ambient light sensor
5ATM/IP68
3 colors available
Visibility in daylight
And of course, the third question: How accurate is this device?
Sleep tracking comparison
Heart rate accuracy
Only has connected GPS, not built in
Auto workout tracking
Fall detection
The battery - claimed 13 days but I am realistically seeing about 5-7 with my settings
Lastly, how is this different from the Galaxy Watch6?
Please let me know if you want a full comparison
Price: $65 vs $280
Microphone & speaker - no voice assistant, phone calls, or text dictation, only haptic notifications
Text replies - you cannot type or use emojis. Only quick replies
You cannot see what the camera sees in the remote shutter
No Samsung Pay or other wallet options
No Wifi - relies solely on phone
No advanced health features like ECG or body composition
Non visible infrared sensors
But it can do essentially everything else. Considering a huge majority of my watch usage is just notifications, health tracking, workout tracking, weather, calendar, and music controls, this is a very compelling buy. My only complaint is it does not have GPS. There are other competitors that do have GPS in a small package like this. Big miss on Samsung’s part.
Anyone looking to get their first device, or anyone looking to start getting healthier would appreciate this. It makes a great gift as well, and for non-power users, the longer battery life would be appreciated.
