Fitness bands help you stay in shape. Most popular brands offer a range of fitness trackers and bands, including Samsung. Their Gear series includes the fitness-focused Galaxy Active watch, and the most basic Galaxy Fit fitness band. Samsung has expanded its line of wearables by introducing the Galaxy Fit Lite, a cheaper version of the Galaxy Fit. The all-new fitness band can monitor your heart rate, record physical activities, and display your phone’s notifications and incoming calls alerts. The Samsung Galaxy Fit Lite is available at Reliance Digital for a reasonable price of Rs. 2,590*. Let’s find out if the Samsung Galaxy Fit Lite is a viable alternative to the other bands in its range.
The Galaxy Fit Lite has nothing new or revolutionary in terms of design. It is simple, light, and compact. The fitness band has a 0.74-inch PMOLED display, running a low resolution of 128 x 64. This is perfectly fine since it helps the battery life. A fitness band in 2020 without a touchscreen and a monochrome display can feel outdated but that’s up to personal preference. The simplicity continues with the software too. The Galaxy Fit Lite runs a simple, real-time FreeRTOS operating system that does the basics. It can display daily tracking information, phone notifications, incoming calls, and calendar updates.
The Galaxy Fit Lite comes in three colours – black, white, and yellow. The non-removable rubberized strap sits firmly on your wrist, so it is comfortable to wear at the gym or while running and walking. The Galaxy Fit Lite weighs just 15g and it won’t bother you, even if you wear it while sleeping. The Galaxy Fit Lite has passed military-level durability standards for its robustness. Also, the fitness band is 5ATM certified. It can withstand water splashes while washing hands or taking a shower. The Galaxy Fit Lite can survive up to 50-meters of depth for 10 minutes and is suitable for swimming. The simple OS provides the Galaxy Fit Lite with incredible battery life. The Galaxy Fit Lite is equipped with a 70mAh battery, which Samsung quotes can last 6 to 7 days on typical use. It can even survive for longer, depending on your usage. The actual battery life may vary depending on features used, widgets setup or by the frequency of notifications.
The Galaxy Fit Lite uses Bluetooth 5.0 to connect with your smartphone. Most of the activity details are displayed on the Samsung Health app, once both the devices are connected. The Health app requires you to sign in using a Samsung account, during the setup. The app gives you the option to change the default screen style. You can even add or remove widgets that display calendar, steps count, and heart rate. The Auto Workout Tracking feature of the Galaxy Fit Lite tracks activities such as walking, running, and dynamic workout. It continuously monitors your heart rate while you exercise. It then sends curated data to your phone, so you can easily monitor your status. Also, the auto sleep tracking feature of the Galaxy Fit Lite analyses your sleep pattern by defining them into three stages depending on your body movements. You can also view your sleep data stats on the Samsung Health app, the next morning.
