Samsung launches affordable Galaxy Fit3 smartwatch for £49

Samsung has launched its new Galaxy Fit3 smart watch, which is priced at £49 during a limited-time Amazon sale. This makes it a more affordable option compared to other high-end brands like Apple and Garmin. The Fit3, released in September 2024, offers many features for health monitoring and activity tracking. The watch has a 1.6-inch touch screen display, designed to be slim and waterproof up to five meters. It tracks various health metrics, including sleep stages, heart rate, and workout activities. Users can choose from over 100 different workout routines, although it does not include GPS. Battery life is a standout feature, lasting up to 13 days on a full charge. It also integrates well with Samsung phones, allowing users to receive notifications, control music, and take photos from their wrist. Customer reviews are mostly positive, with many praising its comfort and functionality. One reviewer noted that it tracks necessary health data without overwhelming features. However, some users reported issues, such as discomfort with the fit and problems with call notifications. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy Fit3 is seen as a good value for those looking for a budget-friendly fitness tracker that covers all the basics. For those needing GPS, alternatives like the CMF by Nothing Watch Pro 2 are available for £69. There is also a cheaper option, the AcclaFit smart watch, currently priced at £29.99.
