Amazon shoppers dub Samsung Galaxy Fit3 'the best smartwatch' amid 31% price slash
Amazon has slashed the price of the Samsung Galaxy Fit3 down to just £41.
Not that many years ago, when people spoke about tracking their steps or fitness, the majority of us would assume that this was done through a Fitbit. While still popular today, the device now faces more competition from other brands than it did before.
One such competitor is Samsung, who is widely known for its Galaxy Watch range. Within this range are some devices that are fitness-focused, including the Galaxy Fit3 which has been dubbed by some shoppers to be 'far better than Fitbit".
Currently, Amazon has slashed the price of the popular Samsung watch down from £59 to only £41. Released back in early 2024, this fitness tracker was designed to compete with devices like Fitbit Inspire in terms of features and capabilities, reports Surrey Live.
The Galaxy Fit3 is said to be easy to read and use as it features a 1.6-inch AMOLED display, which allows for easy navigation, as well as an additional side button for extra control. The watch is also equipped with all your essential sensors to help monitor your heart rate, steps and calories burned throughout the day.
Along with an impressive 13-day battery life, the watch supports over 100 different activities. From swimming to dancing to running, users will be able to track any sport they like. The device also gets instant notifications, allowing users to check their messages, as well as having the ability to control music.
However, on the downside, the Galaxy Fit3 does not come with a built-in GPS chip, meaning users will always need to have their phone on them in order to get precise location tracking. However, it should be noted that it's not unusual for smart watches in this price range to be without a GPS.

Product Description
For those interested in the Fitbit, Amazon is selling the Google Fitbit Charge 6 for £139. Available in white, black or coral, the Fitbit is compatible with both iOS and Android devices, unlike the Fit3 which is catered towards Android users.
If shoppers are looking for something more budget friendly, Argos has slightly reduced the price of the HUAWEI Band 9 Smart Watch from £39.99 down to £34.99. With a typical battery life of up to nine days, this lightweight watch is perfect for swimming enthusiasts as it can identify all four strokes.
However for those interested in the Samsung Galaxy Fit3, it currently has 4.3 star rating on Amazon, with over 1,000 people purchasing the fitness tracker in the last 30 days.
One happy shopper said: "I bought the Samsung Galaxy Fit 3 just a few days ago, and I genuinely haven't taken it off since. Sleek, lightweight, and surprisingly comfortable, this tracker has completely exceeded my expectations — especially at this price point."
While another added: "I bought this as my Garmin vivofit 4 had stopped working and wanted something to track my steps and thought the price was reasonable.
"I'm so pleased I got this as it does everything I need and more. It was easy to set up, it's comfortable and looks really good on. You can customise your screens and receive phone notifications on it too. I've found the battery lasts about a week too."
However, not everyone was as impressed, with one shopper grumbling: "This watch has some cool features like Spotify controls and you can read messages and see notifications like phone calls.
"In terms of fitness features, the watch didn't detect when I was working out even though I has the automatic detection setting on. I'd sometimes get notifications that my HR was high during watch really didn't know what I was doing."
Another shopper also wrote: "I like this watch but if you use it as a fitness tracker you're lucky to get 5 days out of a charge, I track one weight session and 2 1.5k walks a day and it's run out after 5 days and didn't give a warning of low power."
Despite these issues, another reviewer praised: "I had been using Fitbit for years but after the move with Google I wasn't impressed.
"My Fitbit charge 4 snapped at the plastic connecting to the strap so was no longer any use. I came across the Galaxy fit 3 and after reading the reviews I decided to give it a try. In my opinion it is far better than Fitbit."
With a further shopper saying: "I have brought so many smartwatches but this is the best. Lovely size screen, nice watch strap. It lies flush with your wrist, nice and lightweight to wear.
"All apps are easy to follow, great for your steps and sleep record. I bought this from used very good, cannot find anything wrong with it, no scratches or scuffs. Excellent buy."
