I've had my Gear Fit for 2 days now and although I like it, I don't love it. Most of the reasons are because Samsung didn't work out some very obvious bugs before release date. Here's what I have so far. For those of you who own this, please feel free to add to this list:
(I am using this Gear Fit with a Galaxy S4)
1. The Auto Lock feature is not consistent. Even though the G-Fit is in range of my phone, it sometimes still makes me do the pattern unlock. It was my understanding if my Fit is in range that would automatically unlock the phone.
2. S Health is not updated to the version that will work fully with the Gear Fit.
3. The wake-up gesture of raising my arm to turn on the screen doesn't work consistently. I had the original Gear watch and that seemed way more consistent. I'm hoping a firmware update from Samsung could make this better.
4. The Find My Device feature will locate the phone but only makes it vibrate, not ring which would be better. It also turns on the flash which is useless if your device is lying flash side down.
5. The Find My Device feature only works one direction. If I misplace my G-Fit there is nothing in Gear Fit Manager to make it buzz.
If I am missing something on any of these or doing something wrong let me know.
