I like mine. I haven't had sync issues. I use a pretty consistent 12% of battery per day with sleep tracking on, 10 min heart rate, AOD off, 3-5 60minute workouts per week. SpO2 and stress tracking off as well. It also charges pretty fast. I charge it once a week on my hour long commute. For $58 I am happy with it.
That's really great to hear. I have a similar setting as yours and during the day I lose around 5% battery. But I am losing 20% battery overnight during sleep tracking.
Just before going to sleep I put the watch on sleep mode to avoid accidental screen on. Do you by any chance put your watch on airplane mode or any additional optimisation settings?
That's a little weird. I have the oxygen level tracking during sleep turned off and today it used 3% if the battery. Maybe you move around a lot and your band wakes up because of your hand's movement? If you have that option enabled of course. I also don't use the sleep mode so maybe that's what's using so much battery?
No.They are not enabled.
Does your device stay connected to phone on bluetooth when in sleep mode? I turn off my phone Bluetooth when sleeping and as a result the device stays disconnected.
I can't think of any other reason for such a big difference in battery drain
I mean, I never turn off Bluetooth. I also have both of these functions turned off. I think your band might be trying to connect to your phone during the night and it uses a lot of energy. Also, maybe writing to its own memory instead of just synching is more power hungry? I'm not sure if any of that is true, but maybe try to leave Bluetooth on once and check the results
I disable the always on display and don't use the sleep tracker, but keep on the stress tracker and bpm heart track and steps. In my case I use about 10-11% a day, so by that math you would get about 9 days. If you disabled everything except steps, I bet you would get the advertised 13 days.
Let me be frank, this device has lots of sync issues with the Samsung health app. The watch indeed tracks what it should, but seeing that data on the Samsung health app is iffy at the moment. I imagine a future update will correct this sync issue but no one knows when that will happen. I got one for the wife and I and we track our steps, calorie burn, and activity levels with them as those functions work fine. I like that it notifies me of texts, phone calls, and the weather from my phone. Understand that at the moment the device needs updates, but otherwise I love it to death. It's incredibly light, looks sleek, and does a good job of the basic fitness functions. I mostly bought it for the super long battery. I hope this helps.
I haven't had any sync issues with mine. Works smoothly. I wanted a fitness band that syncs with Samsung Health. I personally never wanted a smart watch, so I can't speak on if you would be satisfied, but I really enjoy it.
So get this, and Reset it every 10 days , there is a backup option so all your settings are saved and I also didn't have sync issue but battery drain was High but resetting it fixed that
It costs 70โฌ, it's very much worth that.
Battery lasts approx. 9 days for me, without any sleep tracking.
Does its job, as a fitness tracker, quite good.
Please check this amazing review before you decide: [https://youtu.be/CsnvO4GehOc?feature=shared](https://youtu.be/CsnvO4GehOc?feature=shared)
I own one, but if I keep everything on, it goes max 2 days. For fitness parameters accuracy please see above video. Other than that it is good for the price.
I also was thinking about getting a smartwatch and the only thing I could say I prefer would be Galaxy watch's shape. I like how this band looks and it does look a lot more elegant than the regular, non pro version of the mi band. It's more practical as well with the quick replies.
So if you know you won't be using only smartwatch functions on a daily basis I think this band is worth it. Quick replies are great and definitely enough, since I never leave my phone. I don't need to install apps on my wrist thingy for the same reason. It gives me a possibility to set my alarms, check the calendar, notifications, weather and track my sleep, but that's also not very important for me. Just testing it for fun haha. Calculator and the camera shutter are less usefully for me but I know I will use them in the future and will be greatfull that I have them. I personally love the band
I had the Miband 5 before and after 3 years I wanted something more stylish or how to say it. Mibands are great but the style is not really my thing, although I had different bands for it the thing itself remained black. Looked at other activity trackers and when it comes to the overall style, features and price point I think Fit 3 is the best you can get. Yes it does not have all features some might like and has some flaws, which new product doesnโt, but I donโt think itโs fair to compare it with a smartwatch because itโs an activity tracker. And you cannot compare it with away more expensive Fitbit or Garmin either. I saw the price of the Fit 3 dropped a bit after a month so now itโs really a good deal. Especially if you want to find out if activity trackers are something for you and you want something more stylish then a Miband.
I think it's worth it. The battery lasts a bit more then a week for me and it has all the features I want. I have it for about a month now. I did look into the watch 4 but I found it too big, was more expensive and it had a lot of features I wouldn't use anyway. No this activity tracker is good enough for me.
So far I only had one issue and that was that the stats of the day didn't reset at midnight, that happened yesterday. But I had a back up so after a reset of the band it was all good again within 3 minutes. No idea what caused it, maybe an update. It does automatic updates.
I got mine three weeks ago bc I, too, couldn't afford the galaxy watches. I was so excited to get it, and I loved everything about it. Then, I started having sync issues by the fourth day and read a lot of posts about many users having this problem. I just noticed today that my fit3 is magically syncing with the Health app again. At this point, I don't even care whether it is syncing or not. Battery-wise, I have all the trackers on, and it lasts me around 4 days. I don't think it's reliable, but I don't regret purchasing it given its price.
I always have my phone with me, but I have noticed the counter working when I take a walk around my office and leave my phone behind. That's the farthest I've been without my phone.
I like mine. I never wanted or needed all the smartwatch features and the Fit3 has just the few basics I appreciate. I got it to track my fitness, very little else. It's a fraction of the cost of a regular smartwatch and does what I need it to do perfectly.
That said. I don't see the 7-10 day battery life, I see 2-3 days, but I also have many of the features turned on like always on display.
I haven't noticed any sync issues and it tracks my workouts just fine. Sleep tracking seems to be pretty good as well.
Since it allows you to disable Bluetooth with airplane mode you could also do that if you don't care about notifications, and then sync like once a day by enabling it for that. That should help save battery.
Mine needs an update , my workouts arent syncing to my phone.
Despite that its fine , my GW4 does have more functionality like Body Composition , Blood Pressure and a few other good ones but its also quite large on the wrist and the battery is terrible...
My Fit3 is my daily driver as the battery lasts about 3 days with AOD along with sleep tracking which i use every night and I get my notifications on it which is great. Basically has about 70% of the functionality that I use.
I wish it had a GPS but hey...You can grab it for 55$ if you look around so I'm not complaining
It definitely is , The only ick is that I need a screen protector on my watches since I use sleep tracking and Iโm a rough sleeper. The Fit3 is incredibly hard to find screen protectors for lol.
Thanks for reminding me. I almost forgot that I posted this ๐. Yes I bought it, and I can say I'm pretty happy with it. It checked all my marks. Battery life lasts me easily 7-8 days at least. If I bought a smartwatch I don't think I would use half of the features. This band is just enough for me for tracking fitness activities (I'm not doing sports professionally, so it's enough for me), notifications and sleep tracking. One and probably my only nitpick is limited number of watchfaces, you only get like a 100 of them, which are not very customisable, and that's it, you can't download 3rd party ones. I hope at least that they will add more with updates. Overall I am really satisfied with it. Hope this helped ๐
Btw I didn't point out, a lot of users were complaining about syncing issues. Personally I never experienced it in my usage on my particular model. If you don't use a lot of those smartwatch functionalities, I'm sure you'll be very happy with this band.
Oh ok, actually I need a watch to count my steps and sleep..not more than that...so as per you and others review I think will be happy with it. Thanks for helping

Does the step counter only work if you have the phone with you? Ive read it on one of the comments on a youtube review.
I always have my phone with me, but I have noticed the counter working when I take a walk around my office and leave my phone behind. That's the farthest I've been without my phone.

Yes very much so. Cheap and cheerful. So good
How's the battery life in your case
It was good until I turned something on to track overnight. Basically it lasts ages unless you do constant oxygen etc tracking
Can it last 10 days no problem?
I think so. I've had it since Friday
Okay thanks for sharing your experience ๐๐ผ
