Welcome to Samsung’s Fit E fitness tracker review.
In short - this is a fitness tracker with monochromic display, barely visible outdoors, with 5-7 days of battery life and not so intuitive and easy to use.
Quickly about the hardware - because it doesn’t deserve too much of attention - nothing innovative: CPU that is supposed to be power efficient. Battery lasts up to one week, there’s a heart-rate sensor, accelerometer, which helps to count the steps, and pretty basic operating system. I guess the whole thing has a rather good integration with Samsung Smartphones.
Unboxing experience was right - small and not too shiny cardboard, inside are the band, and the charging thing. Maybe we can call it a dock. Unlike most trackers - instead of being magnet-based, it relies on a click mechanism, which is annoying.
Once you configure the watch and you use it - it will be fine most of the time.
My frustrations were primarily caused by the software. First of all - you need to install Galaxy Wear followed by another three apps in order to fully utilize the capabilities.
The menu navigation - at least this is done the right way - you can easily add o remove the sections and group them based on your preference. This is really good. There’s analysis about sleep quality, estimation about calories burnt, automatic sports detection - didn’t catch my football game, but managed to capture a few walkings. No GPS of course. You may manually start some of the activities from the app.
There is no feature to control the screen brightness. The other very weird decision - out of the box it was set to wake up on lifting the wrist. So I could see anything on the screen by taping - I had to do this movement in order to activate. There’s an option to enable double tap to wake - which by the way is a good idea, because preserves the battery life - the screen won’t light up on an accidental single touch. Feels like a favorite smartphone feature.
So there we are - no matter how respectful I always try to be about tech, investments in research and development, brands, and so on - there are more things that are bad, rather than good. And most of them are software-related. And then - adding the weirdly short battery life, and the single colored display… It has no chances against Mi band - not mi Band 4, even Mi Band 3 is so much better. I think it needs to provide more at the price of around $50. Or simply cut the price in half - and cal it a super-budget tracker - no one would complain that much.
I’ll be happy to see someone enjoying the Fit E - and seeing the good ideas that Samsung had. A little support from your side would be great - is there something that I’ve missed - feel free to add in the comments below the video.

It is better now due to the updates. Please pin a comment saying so in order for new viewers to realise such and possibly purchase the smart watch.
Alright! 👍 Let me pin yours!
No update can make it have GPS. I bought it so it seemed more convenient to bring a band instead of my phone while riding a bike or running, but it still needs me to bring my phone for it to work. I had to spend a similar price again to get a Huawei Band 4 Pro because of the GPS. It lacks several Samsung features, but it's better for what I bought it for
Please your pfp. 😭
@@AreYouKenneth for GPS features and features for running and cycling a more advanced (and potentially expensive) smart watch might be better. Something like Garmin or other brands focused on details and accuracy. Have fun!
I bought this for my mum as a birthday present. She doesn't need anything fancy, so it's perfect for her needs.
Cool
Same here, don't need anything fancy, just need a heartrate monitor and steps walked. Does the job just fine! Who cares about 3 days battery life when your phone wont even last a day lol! Above all only costs £29 now...
Is heart rate monitor accurate??
@@naveenpal9312 As accurate as the one on my Samsung note 8, which is within+- 1 heartbeat of the one I was hooked up to last year in hospital. So very good!
@@Ra-zor thanku man.
Got this in February and its perfect for me. I love it, it does everything I need perfectly and I can even set my timetable on this so I know what lesson I have next.
4:30- It's not a weird lift movement- I just rotate my wrist in my direction and it turns on. You can just be resting your arm on the table and flick the band towards you- don't even lift it and it tells me the time.
Thanks Arjan for sharing your feedback and advice. Been a long way for the Fit E and is now a lot better than it used to be!
my uncle got me this watch for Christmas and it perfectly fits my needs..... For me as a basic person this watch charges really fast on a normal charger and stays for almost 4 days in my knowledge...... I feel that this is a perfect gift for teenagers for Christmas since it is almost half the price of the Samsung galaxy fit and other fitness watches so in that price all its features are great......
Very nice summary, thanks Joyce!
Can the fit e give inactivity reminders?
Honestly I was looking for a band that do the basics without even a screen as I love to wear my regular watches .. I
found this one to be perfect for my needs and not really interested in a bigger or colored screen.. the heart rate accuracy is good and it deducts all the movement and sleep properly as well as its compatable with my samsung mobile
So happy to see your comment, Khaled! I also think that this tracker has become way better than what it used to be at the start.
@@TechMishka Yeah , you are right and by the way there is a real shortage of the screen-less bands in the current market although some brands used to manufacture them
before ..
This is my first smart phone and I set it up very quickly. As you say initially I thought there was something wrong with the phone as it did not respond to tapping until I set that up. Its also possible to change the length of time the screen remains lit up for after a tapping . I like that it vibrates when I receive a message with identity of the sender and also alerts me when I receive a call. This is especially useful when I have my phone on silent. The only thing I am really disappointed with is the fact that it doesn't have a find my phone feature ( at least I cant find it )which my friend has on an even cheaper watch . It is possible to find the watch from the phone which is of no use to me .
Most likely being unable to find it could be caused by some permissions not granted - you can check once again in the app if some more permissions are needed.
@@TechMishka no where on the app is there a feature to find my phone
Love the quality of the video
Thanks!
My previous watch was a more expensive one - the Fitbit Versa. my strap broke so instead of buying one i got this basic Samsung Fit E because of how cheap it is and I'm loving it. it's lighter and has only the essential things. Seems accurate on counting steps and measuring the pulse. i don't mind that i have to set the alarms from the smartphone. I have the Samsung S10 and it integrates well with it.
Fantastic example how simple is better! Thanks Lucian and enjoy wearing yours.
I'm liking the notification feature too!
Yeah, getting better and better. And will appear tomorrow in a surprise video 🙃
I love this tracker too. I just need something that will track my activity and heartrate and send it to s healt because i don't have my phone on me 24/7 and i looooove this app. So this tracker is really all i need. Got a fitbit versa 2 before. Was way to much for me.
Happy to hear about your positive experience. In fact - after the multiple updates it has turned into a brilliant fitness tracker.
Good video thanks, I aimt getting this, any alternatives you know to this like Huawei? Cheap ish and music player is all I want. And customisable display ish

Xiaomi mi band 4 or honnor band 5
Good review man. I have a few question tho
1. Is the calorie burnt measurement personalised according to personal info entered in Samsung Health app, or does it have a general equation for everyone?
2. Does it track steps walked and calories burnt on its own? Or do you have to connect it to your phone every time?
1. It is personalized based on the data you enter.
2. It tracks the data and syncs with the phone once they are connected. No need to keep them together all the time.
I got huawei band 3 pro im happy with it vibrating when its coming call,message all notifications even comment in my CZcams,fb,whatsap,tiktok,etc. watching from Dubai
🤠Heey, I'm very glad that you enjoy using it!
Tech4All thank you ❤️
I got honor band 5 it's the same as that
Muhsin Mehrban congrats 🍾👏🏼👏🏼
I was interested in the nails more than the band...
Got it for 20 euros on amazon.
Really cool watch. The newest firmware updates seems to have addressed the majority of the issues.
It now goes through just the Wearable app + a health app (in my case, Samsung Health) but I am on a Samsung phone so I am not sure if that's why.
The heartbeat sensor is automatically set to 10 minutes interval to save battery.
Same with brightness, it is available now.
I have the much more high end 46mm samsung smart watch and this is a nice companion watch in case you are going to an attraction park or w.e.
With Samsung Health, both watches are synced so it will still update the sleeping, heartrate etc.
Hey Anneke, thank you for raking the time to share all that! I also believe the firmware has enhanced a lot the features and accuracy, and that's why the tracker was included in the Top 5 Trackers below $50 chart czcams.com/video/IvsXWQmIBtw/video.html
@@TechMishka Cool thank you, i'll watch it!
It is very sad that Samsung can not deliver good quality apps. Thank you for your honesty and amazing work, Michael.
Yeah, that came as a surprise to me too. The apps are not bad in fact, but that's too much in my opinion. Thank you so much for your support Sergij - I can see how often you come by and share your opinion for each video - this is a delight and honor!
@@TechMishka You are the best youtuber in this realm.
I just picked one up for £20, I haven't got round to testing it out yet but on first impression I'm actually really happy,
I dont need anything fancy and for someone who only needs the basic fitness tracking this thing seems awesome,
Dont understand you saying "lack of features" this has everything I need plus more and can imagine it being the same case for many other users....
Since the video came out - Samsung have added a lot of great features. And I totally agree - the tracker is quite good.
Thanks for the video plz is it possible to call and receve call , sending sms with this galaxy fit e?
Not possible
2:49 you do realize that these are preinstalled on the samsung phones + u can just download them from the app store?
How does it track swimming? My band only recognize automaticlly walks
Likely swimming is not included as a sport...
Bought two, both have the same issue. If the user gets out of the Bluetooth range, the device disconnects and cannot connect until the restart... which is a little bit hard due to lack of the power button. In one word, its battery life is really long if you have to discharge it.
This sounds like some sort of incompatibility with your smartphone. Are there any battery optimizations that you use?
I love mine
Happy to hear that!
Do you have any experience with the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5? All I want is a heart rate monitor during my walks. I can't get this one to 'pair.' I don't really want it to pair cause I'm not interested in apps, historical date, playing music, or seeing texts/emails. Any recommendations? Thanks.
You have to pair it in order to make the initial sync.
I am just struggling with the brightness when using outdoors, especially when running. Cannot see the screen. I have bumped the brightness slider to its maximum but still disappointed with the outcome.
Yeah, part of the issues when using OLED screens. You may check some devices with transflective screens - like Amazfit Bip S or Garmin Fenix series.
Pls tell my notifications are not coming and the other apps of this band are not coming in the play store or app store
Check the app permissions and verify if the app has granted access to the notifications on your mobile.
How do I measure my stress using this band?
You can't
Should I order it? I am getting it on sale for 26 dollars.
Yeah, the price is good, and software-wise it is now better.
I was happy with it . The only problem is it prefer more lift to wake up than double tap
Hopefully you noticed that you can have both of them working - can be activated from the app :-)
@@TechMishka Yeap I have already activated both already , thanks for your notifying
thanks tech4all
Hey, most welcome!
Hiii. I liked your opinion. You know what, I am a swimmer and I have the Galaxy Watch and I use it to swim, nevertheless I was very upset about how much the watch can resist the water if I swim everyday with it. So yesterday I got this Galaxy Fit E. Actually I just want it to swim and really hope it works and detects automatically the workout when I'm in the pool. I will let you know, hehe. :)
Would be awesome if you can share that! ANd hopefully it will do properly what it is supposed to!
My Steps are different on my watch, than on my Samsung phone - any ideas?? My hours slept are also incorrect as it adds on about 2 hours (I know this because I have checked exactly what time I try to start sleeping, and what time I wake up)
Sounds like the sensors are misbehaving. Try with a factory reset and check for updates.
For this price i find it good. what you expect from it. you complain too much dude. in belgium is 40euro
I state that it got much better after a few updates: czcams.com/video/IvsXWQmIBtw/video.html
How to I sort the brightness
I don't think it can get brighter than that.
can it do automatic nap tracking? in daytime
Nope.
Can I select which activities I do like can I select basketball as an activity?
I think basketball is not one of the available sports to track.
I've not even used mine yet and the calories say 1093 how do I set it to zero for when I start
It will be reset to 0 tomorrow :)
Love
Love back! 😊
Does it counts riding with bike
As far as I remember there is no such mode.
Is heart rate monitor accurate?
Yes, it is accurate.
Does anyone know why the sleep graphs have stopped showing?
Check the app settings - could it be that you've disabled the sleep tracking at some point?
Oh the love u toooooooo samsung fit e
Tech4All : Thanks Michael ! Great video on the Samsung Galaxy Fit E Fitness Tracker..... With your “Honesty is the Best Policy” attitude towards this less than stellar performing fitness tracker.....Always appreciated by viewers and subscribers alike , for telling us the straight goods on what one shall expect.....Upon purchasing the Samsung Galaxy Fit E Fitness Tracker ! Thanks Scarboro 🇨🇦🌲🍀✌️🦋🐝🍁💚
Tooooom! 😎👍 I missed your awesome additions. How are you? I thought for a while you may be away for a vacation.
Glad to see you back, and thanks a lot for the excellent summary here. Cheers!
I just got that today
Congrats! Enjoy using it.
Can you connect this to an iphone
yeah, you can do that.
Excellent review!
Thank you sir!
Hello ~
I am facing some issues when I start the walking as a workout ( not as counting steps ) , it doesn't measure the distance neither the speed ( I walk in the rooftop and the phone is on a chair near me ), but it start counting them when I have my phone in my pocket , did anybody face the same issue !?
If you need speed measuring - you have to be outdoors and you need the phone to move together with you - because then the band will "borrow" the phone's GPS data.
Ótima análise parabéns!!!
🤘
@@TechMishka 🤘
Is there any incoming call service in galaxy fit e..??
yes, you will get notified via the band when someone is calling you.
I also have galaxy fit e watch but samsung health is not exesist in my phone
You can download it additionally.
Do u need a Samsung for it
No, it can work with any kind of a smartphone.
I have this watch
Good good! How do you like it?
I found the apps that you had to have on my phone drained the battery and used my minutes, and like ytou say it just told me how many steps I did, You don't need the apps for it to tell you that, so I just deleted 'em off and use the watch.
Sounds about right 🙂
This shows that it can measure BP but I am not able to use it. It always show average bp on app.can anyone please tell me how to measure bp from this band?
It cannot measure BP as far as I know...
Is Fitbit or Apple watch better?
Depends on the use cases.
Is the calorie accurate
Sort of. It is based on algorithms - so it is not perfectly accurate.
Does it have stopwatch
As far as I remember - yes.
I still can't figure out why it shows inaccurate steps. I'm sitting and it increases steps by 100! Can you help me out? I tried everything. Also, your video has been very helpful, thanks :)
Are you doing any movements while sitting? That can lead to increased step count;
Another possibility is the steps that are being added to be older records that get synced with the tracker. SOme fitness bands update the steps counter every several minutes.
If you sit for 1 hour and the counter remains the same - it's alright.
@@TechMishka Yeah well I don't sit still lol. I think that must be the case. Now the steps are being tracked accurately though. Thanks for checking back. :)
should it have a blood presure monitering option
Not really... Hard to get accurate BP at that price range.
Can a smartwatch really measure blood pressure?
Yeah... Not accurate most times though.
Why is my fit e
Has a very very low brightness
Try adjusting it from the app.
How about how to track may lost samsung fit??I bought it and used for 5days after I lost it..but I can see how many steps everyday because its connected to my Samsung Health App..Anyone can help me to track it??😥😥😥
Could be that the Health app is using your phone for tracking the steps...
i got this for free last week does it count steps accurate ?!
Yes, the steps counter is pretty good.
Do it measure oxygen levels?
It doesn't
the screen is not strong enough, i accidentally drag the watch on the wall then It's scratched
Yeah... that's one of the drawbacks.
Does it track distance travelled?
Only walking distance. And it is based on the accelerometer - not as accurate as GPS.
@@TechMishka ok. Thanks for the reply
My display stopped working..on double tapping the screen it's not opening???????????
Try to reset and re-adjust using the smartphone app.
Huawei Band 4 Pro has integrated GPS so I don't have to bring my cell phone to my outdoor cycling. What's the point of these bands with no GPS? I bought a band so I don't need to bring my phone outside while I run or ride, but Samsung makes me bring my phone anyway by not putting GPS in its bands. Better buy a Huawei Band 4 Pro
Hey Kenneth, really glad to hear that you enjoy your Huawei Band 4 Pro. Extraordinary good device!
The Fit e on the other hand is smaller and uses another kind of app ecosystem; Much better suitable for iPhones for isntance.
Is there something better for $50 ?
Yes! The Galaxy Fit 2 is a lot better. Also you can check Mi Band 6 and Honor Band 6.
My mom is getting me a galaxy fit e.
Good choice!
Is it waterproof?
John Joshua Africa yes 😀
i dont think so..i only had mine for 5 days now and ion think it is..
@TheEggamer which type is yours?
Hello!
Hello Dylan 🙃
One mi band
Absolutely usless!
Oh 😔
Yup sticking with Mi Band...
Me too! 😎👍
I bought as a birthday present for my mother and I stole it from her lol
That's a good plan! 👍
My Samsung Fit E Watch Problem display
Check with Samsung if it's still under warranty and get it fixed.
$50? I got it for $25 and the software has *significantly* improved over the past year, clearly, at least on iOS.
Very good news! And indeed - much better than it used to be, That's why it made it to the top 5 trackers video czcams.com/video/IvsXWQmIBtw/video.html
Where'd you buy for $25
Hello sir only one day I buy this Samsung Galaxy fit e but I just want to sell this band so sir please tell me how to sell this band
Tell to your friends about it.
One like on like u
Waterproof?
Yes, up to 50m underwater
Why does the watch show that its been burning calories while I wasn't wearing it the whole night!
you still burn calories at rest. when you take it off it assumes that you are resting/sleeping
algorithm that is supposed to compensate the time when you don't wear it.
How can you complain about a $50 smartwatch like AT ALL. at $50 just telling the time and doing notifications would be good. This thing is waterproof and tracks exercise and heart rate to boot. Bargain, even if it has a couple of minor failings.
If I may defend my complaints - there are trackers that cost less and offer more (colorful AMOLED screen, SPO2 tracking, 20 days battery life, etc).
But Samsung improved the Fit E a lot with firmware updates, and it made it to 2020's top 5 trackers! 😇🙃
Sleep tracking doesn't work
Might be that you haven't enabled HR tracking in the app.
You are a Complain box. 😂
Only trying to be fair. I think I give enough justifications.
But - after a few firmware updates the tracker got significantly better and made it to the top 5 trackers below $50: czcams.com/video/IvsXWQmIBtw/video.html
U can’t
Also u just said it it has a very good brightness so it can’t change the brightness
Lmao what do you expect for 35 USD? Don't compare it with a 350 dollar smart watch. I know it's cheap so it's not the best. So do a review keeping in mind the price.
The Mi Band also costs $35 🙂
Never compare a Chinese bands which has cheap quality materials!
This band stands apart from others with many around 100+ automatic activity tracking!
Exactly! I had to return the Mi Band 4 after 1 week because it gradually started to invent heart rate values around 75-90 no matter who was wearing it or what he was doing at the time (like running). Now I own the Samsung product and it simply delivers whats promised.
Mi Band is compelling, but really if you think about it what is the benefit over the Samsung? Colored display? Who needs that. Downloadable Watchfaces? All of them are ugly with comic or anime figures or simply trash. The only decent one I have seen is the default one. Music control? I can do that with the physical buttons on my cable. Countdown/Stop Watch? Poorly implemented. You cannot leave them in order to see the time/steps/heart rate.
The only downside is that (unless you rely on autodetection) have to use the Samsung app to start a workout. But if you are doing workouts that regularly that it becomes annoying, you will probably be willing to spend around two to three times as much money in order to get a device that allows you to do that.
Shuuush man it only $50
and is in fact way better now. Thanks to that it made it to this chart: czcams.com/video/IvsXWQmIBtw/video.html
This guy is just really picky
Well - sort of. I always treat tech with respect.
A few months later - I can say that this tracker is better than what it used to be, and you will see it showing up in a video about best trackers below $50 😉
@@TechMishka Just a quick Q, can you change the music volume that is playing out on your phone with this tracker? Pivotal for me for gym stuff. Thanks!
Why is the heart rate reading double? This is crap.
Hm, I think the HR measurements are fine.
Totally agree running leaps from 132 to 168 heart rate nothing near it..
Even laying down sometimes it jumps from 62bmp to 115 when bmp is still the same then 10 minutes later back to 62bmp....cheap and not accurate
What the hell is up with this guys nails? I almost pucked....
Mate, these aren't my nails 🥳👍
guys, how to delete calories?
We don't want to delete them, we want to multiply them! 🙃🙃
Stop eating chocolate biscuits.
Looking at this, at that price tag, Xiaomi makes much better bands
Well... Hard to disagree on that 😉
Hey i got it for free hahaha...
How did that happen?! 😎
@@TechMishka Pre order stuffies hahaha... Basically it's a steal? But worth it because it free. It comes with my pre ordered Galaxy A50s here in the Philippines.

@@leenordgomez4275 Your English is great! And you've had quite a deal 👍 😇
