Fitness Trackers / Samsung
Samsung Galaxy Fit3 (2024)
An aluminium AMOLED band for $59.99 — as long as you never want to use an iPhone.
Overall score 6.6/10
Pros
- + Aluminium body and a 1.6-inch AMOLED for $59.99
- + 5 ATM plus IP68 is the most thorough water/dust rating in the budget tier
- + Nothing is paywalled and Samsung Health is a mature, free app
- + Fall detection and SOS are rare features at this price
Cons
- − Android only — there is no iPhone app, which rules the Fit3 out entirely for iOS users
- − No GPS chip, and phone-free distance estimation was measured undermeasuring a 5km track by 50m+
- − The 13-day claim is with the always-on display off; real-world use lands nearer 7–10 days
- − Proprietary pogo-pin charging cable and no wall adapter in the box
- − Best-behaved on a Samsung phone; on other Android handsets setup is clumsier
Samsung Galaxy Fit3 (2024) review: what the specs say
An aluminium AMOLED band for $59.99 — as long as you never want to use an iPhone. At $59.99, Samsung's 2024 model sits among the cheapest we cover — the fitness Trackers we compare run from $51.99 to $359. It scores 6.6/10 overall, calculated from published specifications across 8 categories rather than from a subjective impression.
Its strongest showing is Subscription Freedom at 9.5/10 — the category's trap dimension: how much of what you paid for keeps working without a membership. A 10 means nothing is paywalled; a 1 means the hardware is unusable the moment you stop paying.. The weakest is Phone Independence at 1.5/10, which is the trade-off to weigh before buying: if that is the specification you care about most, one of the alternatives below will serve you better.
Worth knowing before you buy: android only — there is no iPhone app, which rules the Fit3 out entirely for iOS users; and no GPS chip, and phone-free distance estimation was measured undermeasuring a 5km track by 50m+. Every specification on this page comes from Samsung's own documentation or a verified retail listing — where a figure is not published, the table says so rather than estimating it.

Full Specifications
| GPS | None — no GPS chip. It uses the paired phone's location; without a phone it estimates distance from the accelerometer and reviewers measured it undermeasuring a 5km track by 50m or more |
| Display | 1.6-inch AMOLED touchscreen with optional always-on mode |
| Rated Battery Life | 13 days |
| What the Battery Claim Assumes | Samsung's 13 days is explicitly 'with Always On Display turned off (default setting)'. Independent testing under moderate-to-heavy use returned roughly 7–10 days |
| Subscription Model | None — Samsung Health is free |
| Annual Subscription Cost | 0 $ |
| Water Resistance | 5 ATM (50 m for 10 minutes) plus IP68 |
| ECG / AFib & FDA Status | No ECG hardware and no AFib detection — Samsung's ECG is restricted to Galaxy Watch models paired with a Galaxy phone |

| Phone Compatibility | Android only. There is no iOS app for the Fit3, and setup is smoothest on a Samsung phone |
| Charger | Proprietary pogo-pin cable; no wall adapter is included in the box |
| Data Export | Samsung Health offers a personal-data download; third-party sync generally needs Health Connect on Android |
