I really wish the Gear Fit worked with more phones. If Samsung’s really looking for the Fit to be an entry-level way to get used to wearables, or even to experience Samsung’s newer mobile tech for the first time, the Fit should be an accessory to other Android phones, too…or even for iPhones. Most fitness bands aim to work with both iOS and Android. Limiting the Gear Fit’s reach really dents how many people would even consider this device in the first place.
The Gear Fit is a radical change compared to the Samsung Galaxy Gear released just six months ago, and credit goes to Samsung for evolving so quickly. But, the Gear Fit banks on a basic proposition that simple is better, and that a smartwatch and fitness band rolled into one device is better than a smarter watch.
