I purchased this device. Unfortunately, as I was afraid, I did not want to connect via Bluetooth to my Meizu m1 note. With the Nexus 5 works fine. We'll have to send back, change the phone while no desire.
It's a pity that the device leaves a very high-quality impression, lies on a relatively small wrist (coverage 18 cm) and looks great, the strap is very soft and comfortable, the screen is bright, the colors are excellent, the resolution for this diagonal is also wonderful. In fact, it is quite a full-fledged smart watch with a fitness functionality, and even in a convenient and unusual format.

Received today Samsing Gear Fit 2, even managed to go to the gym. So, according to the results of use in the first 5 hours:

Ergonomics - it sits comfortably on the arm, the strap is soft. Very light. Vibration is felt.

Display - Ameled in the sun of course tarnishes (but there is a margin of brightness). In the hall you can see well. The display itself goes out by timeout (configurable), the time test gesture turns on.

Training - here I would like to add a couple of fly in the ointment. There are several preset modes. Running, hotba, hiking, cycling, stepper, exercise bike, ellipt.training., Treadmill, lunges, twisting, squatting, Pilates, yoga, rowing, another exercise. The trouble is that all that does not fall under these exercises is the choice of "another exercise." And in this mode, the pulse is not registered! I was engaged today on BodyCombat (group cardio training with elements of boxing, karate and other martial arts). I had to choose the mode "Pilates", others like that did not fit. I do not know how calories are calculated - but it seems that the choice of a training mode affects the algorithm for counting calories. For an hour of lesson came out something too few calories.
In training mode, shows the duration and pulse. Shows what zone of the pulse you are (text). The display itself goes out by timeout (configurable), the time test gesture turns on. Very convenient and reliable. In the training mode, you can set the time (or without time, you’ll finish it yourself), the frequency of information (such as every kilometer, will vibrate every 5 minutes). On exit from the zones of the pulse it does not seem to vibrate, only writes on the display.

Floors considered correct.

On the smartphone, in the S-Health application, you can see the workout in detail.

Modessleep and GPS I did not have time to check it yet. Write later.

Notifications - shows with foreign applications. Call (number and name shows) can be answered or reset. The presence of notifications on the main screen is simply indicated by a dot.

WiFi - In training, I left my phone in the locker room (in the locker). When I moved away from the locker room, the "loss of the phone" worked. A little later came a notice from the email. It looks like Gear Fit2 itself connected to the gym's WiFi network (I already connected the phone before). But 100% not sure, it will be necessary to check. Music from the phone is copied quickly, via direct WiFi.

Battery - I won't say anything about the battery yet. Is that charging is very fast (from the "high-current" memory).

Soft - in the Samsung market there are already a couple of dozen watchfaces and several programs. There is an alarm clock.

There is no mode with always on display? Like on Android wear

there is

Thank you, but what does the dial look like in this mode? Just as in the usual, but with reduced brightness, or in a simplified b / w form?
Is the brightness set in the settings affecting the brightness of this ambient mode, or only the brightness of a normally on screen?

Why I ask: on Android Wear, the brightness of the constantly on display is very low and is not tuned, as a result, it is difficult to distinguish something even on cloudy weather, and visibility is generally zero in the sun, the sense of ambient mode is partially lost, and without it the smart watch is no longer I want to.

In the permanent display mode after a timeout, only the clock is displayed on the screen. Digital, or analog (depending on the dial).
Brightness decreases. The brightness setting of the on screen doesn’t seem to affect the ambient mode brightness, the screen is rather dim. Indoors and not in the sun can be seen, there will probably be problems in the sun.
But the gesture of "viewing time" works very well. so I don’t see much sense in constant mode.

Thanks, interested. There will be a watch in the open spaces of our country - I will definitely look.
In principle, the first Fit works quite well, and its functionality is beyond my eyes, but it has problems with non-samsungs, and with non-samsungs on the 6th android - big problems, so the second generation is very interesting, especially as compared to I do not see the first.

A little about sleep record.

Sleep is fixed automatically. You do not need to press anything. The time of falling asleep and waking is fixed accurately.
You can view the sleep schedule in S-Health, on the tracker itself only the last dream is shown on the "24 hr log" screen. But there is only a start and end time, and a min / max pulse value.
The pulse itself can be viewed in the "tile" of the pulse in S-Health. It is a pity that on the "tile" of sleep there is no pulse data - this is useful information.

The tracker itself turned out to be successful, but the software side on the phone is lame for now. There is no online web interface, there is no synchronization with the most common services (myfitnesspal or strava, for example).
On the tracker, the program has already been updated 2 times, let's hope that they bring it to mind.
Not enough of their customized training program. In the "Other training" mode, there is no pulse record, and without this, calories are considered incorrect (and not informative).

Do not tell me, but after the update, the opportunity appeared to transfer to horizontal mode?

qwillis, in the first Gear Fit was exactly the opposite) Out of the box at the start was only horizontal mode. After the firmware came out adding vertical. Horizontal exactly convenient to use? I could not withstand the minutes on the first fita ... It is necessary to turn this hand and head so that the infa is displayed less readable. Not very familiar.

No, I did not notice such a possibility. And, frankly, in the "horizontal" mode it would be quite inconvenient. Is that to wear the screen "down" on the side of the palm.
I wore Microsoft Band1 for half a year in this way, since the screen orientation is “horizontal” there.

By the way, I really like the screen on Fit2. Bright enough, the colors are typically "Amoledian", on a black background of the screen and the frame of the inscription and graphics look great.

Energy consumption :
I charged 13 numbers in the evening. The evening of the 13th, the night of the 14th, the whole day of the 14th (a couple of hours of using GPS in the trekking mode, constantly watched and played, one and a half hours of training), the night on the 15th. At lunchtime the 15th shows a balance of 36%. I hope to make it to the evening. GPS is on, screen brightness 5 (out of 13), notifications from the smartphone come.
So you can expect 2 days with a guarantee and 3 days in the "normal" mode. As with the Microsoft Band, with it I got used to recharge a little every 2 days. Fit2 charges quickly, while you shower in your heart and have time to recharge. I hope that soon there will be copies of charges on ebay / ali. Then you can put the second charge in the office.

Gear fit 1 is a horizontal orientation like. Convenient to read messages. Vertically not at all. Fit 2 is a bit wider, as I understand it, but can the option of a different orientation be deeply hidden in the settings?

Hm Do you carry it inside the screen? On the "normal" side, it is inconvenient to read. Do you need to twist the arm?



No, I did not find

Since he has his own GPS, then you can not take a phone for a run, he will record the training?

No, I just keep my hand straight, I don’t turn to myself. It is doubtful that Samsung will attend to the addition of mountains of mode. At least the types of training added, as in the mass sport trackers.

Yes of course. Run, bike, hike - at least in these modes, GPS is used to calculate speed and distance.

It would be nice if there was an opportunity to edit the training modes yourself.
For example, in the modes of running and cycling, it is important to read GPS readings frequently. But in the trekking mode it would be good to determine the location once a minute, for example.
And in normal mode, when a hotboo is registered, it would be useful to record the location at least once every 10-15 minutes, as the pulse is recorded.

It would be extremely energy-consuming, if we are talking about using your own GPS. Even on smartphones with a fat battery, Google’s history of locations is great for eating. And on the clock it would be even worse, since the fix of GPS without the use of the Internet will go for about a minute, judging by the reviews, and all this time the battery will be actively consumed. That is, in fact, the costs of recording a location every few minutes and for constant tracking differ slightly.

Reviews (for now) in English, if anyone is interested (with good photos):

Tell me, can I train in Strava? Bluetooth sensors cadence and heart rate cling?

Some more observations:
- After a couple of charges, the lifetime increased. Now, after two full days, a stable 40-30% charge remains. In theory, enough for another night and the next day. At night, the discharge is about 1% per hour. It charges quickly, there is enough time for recharging if you recharge the shower during the day.
- about counting floors. According to my observations, if the bracelet is closed by a tight sleeve, then the floors are considered bad. And if you pull the sleeve - everything is ok.
- "Occupation" (hotba, run, bicycle) begins to be fixed automatically about 10 minutes after the start. For example, you went somewhere and after 10 minutes of uninterrupted walking, the bracelet vibration says that the "training" began 10 minutes ago.
- The screen glass is kind of solid. For a week, no hints of scratches. On Microsoft Band 1, scratches appeared almost on the first day.
- after 50 minutes of inactivity (for example, sitting at the table) informs by vibration that it is necessary to warm up :)
