Excluding the strap, the device dimensions are 18.3 mm × 44.6 mm × 11.2 mm (0.72 in × 1.76 in × 0.44 in), and it weighs approximately 23 grams (0.81 oz). It is equipped with a 0.95 inches (24 mm) AMOLED touchscreen presenting a resolution of 120x240 pixels. The internal memory consists of 32MB, paired with 2MB of RAM. Power is supplied by a 120mAh battery. Sensors integrated include an accelerometer, gyroscope, and heart rate monitor. The device has a water resistance rating of up to 5ATM.[4][5] Wireless charging is supported via near-field communication.[4][6] The Galaxy Fit 3 utilizes an ARM Cortex-M33 processor.
Software
Connectivity with smartphones is established through Bluetooth versions 5.0 and 5.1 (for Galaxy Fit 2), compatible with devices running Android 5.0 or later, or iOS 10.0 and above. To pair the watch, users must install three applications plus one plugin: the Galaxy Fit plugin, Samsung Wearables app, Samsung Health, and Samsung Accessory Service. The operating system powering the device is FreeRTOSTemplate:Fix/category[citation needed]. It offers multiple widgets for monitoring fitness metrics, stress levels, and heart rate. Although initial releases lacked GPS functionality linked to the phone, this capability was subsequently added via a software update.[4][7]

Critics offered a range of opinions on the smartwatch, generally leaning towards favorable. PC Magazine awarded it a 4 out of 5 rating, highlighting its affordability, precise health monitoring, and strong battery performance, while noting drawbacks such as the requirement to use two separate apps and the sizable bezel. Reviewers at TechRadar assigned a 3 out of 5 score, commending the device’s battery longevity and screen quality but pointing out shortcomings in GPS functionality and distance measurement accuracy.
