Through this app you can customise the main clock screen, putting a step counter, weather report or upcoming meetings underneath it, although we would have liked a scrolling clock that included all three on a rotation. It's also entirely separate from the Gear Manager, which works with the Gear 2, Gear 2 Neo and Galaxy Gear. You'll also need to download the Gear Fit Manager app to your phone in order to sync it with the Fit this isn't in the Google Play Store and will only show up through Samsung's own Samsung Apps store. There's also a useful Find My Device alarm, which activates your smartphone's ringtone at the maximum volume, even if you've set it to silent or vibrate, although the phone has to be powered on and you have to be connected to it (so within Bluetooth range) for it to work. The notched clip is far easier to adjust for a tight fit than other fitness bands we've used, and a lot cleaner than ones you have to cut to fit. According to Samsung it's also hypo-allergenic, so shouldn't cause problems for anyone with plastic or latex allergies. The device itself sits in a removable wrist band, which is made from water-resistant rubberised plastic and is available in six different colours. You can switch to a vertical layout through the settings menu, but the screen isn't particularly wide so text is forced to scroll or is rendered in a much smaller font. You either have to turn your head or your wrist to read the screen when in horizontal mode.
Everything else is controlled with a tap or swipe. It's fully touch-sensitive too, with the only physical button used to turn the screen on and off manually. The screen automatically illuminates when you raise your wrist, so you can tell the time at a glance without having to press a button.
