but I am so glad I took a chance and bought it
I am not one to review items. However, after reading through all the reviews especially the negative ones I felt compelled to share my experience. The negative reviews almost discouraged me from buying this item, but I am so glad I took a chance and bought it. I was initially concerned about it falling off as some posters claimed happened. If you simply put the band through the loop, like a belt, then it stays on. I went on two 5 mile runs and had no problem with it falling off. I was also concerned about the accuracy of GPS, as I am an avid runner. To test its accuracy I wore the Gear fit 2 on one arm, and my Garmin watch on the other, and the data matched exactly every time I tested it. I really love the features of this device, and was surprised at how comfortable it was.
The only negatives I could find were that it does not accurately count flights of stairs, nor does it accurately count crunches either. In addition at times the heart rate is somewhat inaccurate.
However, I think it is a great buy for the price and I like it a lot. I am not sure why some people were giving it such bad reviews. I am glad I ignored negative reviews and gave it a chance. Well done, Samsung.
