Question 1

It says this will track distance.  Is the GPS function built in or does it require a phone for tracking distance?  I'm hoping it doesn't use a stand alone pedometer to estimate distance...

Accepted Answer

Oops wrong device .. I was talking about a car DVR ... the gps hooks thru the phone ... but it is able to count paces for distance ... ie pedometer ... without the phone

Question 2

Do you need to pay a monthly fee for it?

Accepted Answer

There is no monthly fee. It works well as described. One fact to keep in mind is that the watch interacts with your phone via bluetooth and this is a significant drain on the battery. So you either have to keep you phone well charged or turn off that aspect. The pedometer, etc. works fine with bluetooth turned off.

Question 3

How does the wrist band hold up? By the looks of the photographs (haven't seen one in person) it looks as though the clasp could easily come loose and isn't very secure (ex: when you're getting things from a coat pocket or reaching into a purse). TIA!

Accepted Answer

I had a garmin fitness band before I had the Samsung. The garmin uses a similar clasp that continually came loose on me and within a week I had lost it. I've had the Samsung for a while now (a few months) and it's only come loose on me once.

Question 4

Does this watch use bluetooth, and if so, is it compatible with an Iphone5s?

Accepted Answer

It uses bluetooth. No only android phone works with gear fit. (You need little bit of hacking if your android phone is not samsung. But it works)

Question 5

Can I use this product with a bluetooth headset for Spotify?

Accepted Answer

Sorry, I am not familiar with Spotify so I am  unable to answer this question. Sorry!

Question 6

is this compatible with other android smartphones like a HTC One M8?

Accepted Answer

I think it is but I don't really know. I know the app manager required is in google play therefore I assume it should be compatible.

Question 7

how big is the wrist band? I have a hard time finding bands that will fit me.

Accepted Answer

Its approx 9.5 around, I also have a hard time and it fits loose on me!

Great product. enjoy it all the time!

Question 8

connect with note 10.1?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it will connect with your Note 10.1.  I haven't had any problems. You should be able to connect with any/all compatable Samsung equipment.

Question 9

what will it do?

Accepted Answer

This is a case only with one case fan with Red LED's, one on the back without LEDs

Question 10

Is it waterproof. If so till what depth?

Accepted Answer

It's water resistant,  not proof. I remember reading a Samsung document when I got mine that specifically states not to swim or shower with it on and if you get it wet take it off and dry it. Because of the sensitive circuitry they had to make it resistant so if you are wearing it while it's raining you're fine but don't go diving with it on. It's a great watch though, I love it.
