Are the Galaxy Fit 3 issues fixed?

[BillK95]

Hello. I've been considering upgrading from my current fitness band to the Galaxy Fit 3 as I own a Galaxy A35 and would like to stay in the ecosystem. However, I've read on the r/GalaxyFit subreddit and on here that the Fit 3 has multiple issues regarding sleep tracking, workout tracking and step/general syncing. Most of these threads stopped being active after September 2024 though, with no one stating anything about these issues being fixed or not.

Is the Galaxy Fit 3 a viable product currently or should I look at other options?

Hello 👋 @BillK95 and may I extend a Warm Welcome to the Samsung Community Forum.

I haven't seen any recent threads on this however as you have done, it's always best to perform due diligence before purchasing. 

Maybe there is some information on YouTube 🤔 

If you do purchase then I'd suggest to also check out any relevant Cooling Off Period just incase your unhappy with the product. 

If i can be of any further help please don't hesitate to ask  😎

We've got 2x Fit3's in our household with no issues 🤷

They're currently £49 direct from Samsung.com and Argos etc

The reason I'm asking is because I've seen almost every review and standpoint possible and they're pretty mixed from what I can tell, but they are all from September 2024 or earlier dates, with no information on whether the watch's firmware has gotten better or not.

[BillK95]

Did you buy them before September 2024 or afterwards? I'm asking because I want to know if Samsung has issued any new firmware updates after that date that fix the issues people were talking about.

1 before and 1 after - there has been at least 1 software update

[BillK95]

I see. Thanks for your input!

Since 18 December 2024: sleep & steps/workouts not being synced, and on top of that the Indonesian food is no longer available.

When i try to sync workouts by tapping “show on phone” the whole app crashes.

Now I'm behind on the monthly challenge.

There was an update again in January 2025 & the issues haven't been fixed

I am on an A72

Samsung doesn't seem to care

So I finally bought the Fit 3 on Saturday January 18th. I'll come back with my findings after testing it for a full week or so.

I have exactly the same dilemma as you. I was thinking of buying this band but I don't know if it still has so many errors? I see that two weeks have passed since the last comment. Did you manage to test it? Did you notice anything disturbing?
