Okay so first lets be honest NO it shouldnt work at all so as far as I am concerned I AM NOT USING AS INTENDED...
So why did I even buy it? Well A: I am interested in a fitness tracker and am not interested ina galaxy device. B: I like shiny toys C: I really do want it to work well even if a moto 360 will be my favorite thing ever in due time, and MOST IMPORTANTLY : BB has a return policy so why the heck not try it out!!!
~whew with that out of the way.
~~Pedometer: Works and quite well actally. Those who had issues with consitancy I cant relate to. I thought it was a little off but then i began counting steps in groups of 100 and it was within 3-4%. So no not perfect, but thats fair in my openion. I did notice a little differance when carrying a cup of coffe in the hand with the Fit as it was not moving as much and thus was off by slightly more (6-7%) than when I was walking regularly.
~~Heart rate: (when on top of srist) Works quite well when sitting still or with subtle movement. This is clearly shown to not be the way recomended to test so I cant complain much. So when i was ona intence run and mid workout and wanted to test i switched to the bottem of my wrist and got pretty soild readings w/o much concern. Sweat threw it off a time or so but I was taking my preworkout so thinking I may be actually having a heart attack isnt a full surprise.
~~App functionality: TO BE FULLY DETERMINED AND WILL UPDATE... So the Fit manager app works fine and can quickly and easily select whcih notifacations I want to receive and background etc, but I have not been able to get the Health app to work. (i think I have the old .apk and need to work on it a bit to be sure.
~~Sleep mode and alarm: Yup it works I sleep it knows, I ned to wake up and yup it buszzed. Not much to be mad at here. NOTE: I am hoping with new health app or 3rd party to be able to log sleep etc, which i do not beleive is in the current app options...
~~Push Notifications: GRATZI~ they work and not to badly I must admit. No quick reply is mia, but I am actually thinking there is a fix here but I cant promise yet (working with a dev or 2 for clairifacaiton) Best thing is yes I can push form almost any app and get the notice w/o a problem. The "show on device" works well whcih was actually a surprise.
~~Media controler: Depends completely on App... Spotify has limited functionality aka play pause but I was having problems with prev/next I will try other apps in the coming days is others have inquiries.
~~Battery Life: 4 days is prob about right I may get 3.5 because I play with it alot but 4 is absolutely not a strech.
Okay so no its not perfect, but I havent seena review (w/ Sammy device) that thought it was so were all in a learnign phase including Samsung. Let me knwo what questions you have or things you want me to try out. I got the darn thing to try stuff with so please ask me what you want attempted.
