Efficiency
The heart of Gear Fit is a 180MHz ARM Cortex M4 CPU, in addition we have a not impressive 8MB of RAM and 16MB of ROM (specification according to manufacturer’s data). Though it seems as a week specification, for a watch it is perfect. We do not have any lags or delays.
Battery
Samsung declares that with a moderate usage the accessory will last 3-4 days, and with an economical usage – even five days. In practice, with the pedometer, sleep measurement on and measuring the heart-rate from time to time I achieved around four days away from the charger. When I added exercises’ cycles (walking) and notifications and music control, the energy lasted for two days. Saying that the lifespan of 210mAh cells depends on the usage would be a truism… Fortunately, the accessory charges very fast.
Accessories
I received Gear Fit without an original package that is why it is hard to tell if Samsung will surprise the buyer with something unusual or only by things that are necessary. The charger and – what is most important – a miniature docking station belong to the second group. I consider its presence as one of disadvantages of the device – a small piece of plastic can be easily lost and then there would be no possibility to charge the battery of the device. It would be a better solution to install a microUSB port directly on the watch (for example under a sealed flip, to maintain its water-proof properties).
