Hi everyone,

I bought a Galaxy Fit3 a week ago to better monitor my running sessions, pairing it with my Galaxy A56 to utilize its GPS.

From what I understand (correct me if I’m wrong), the only way to get running data synced with heart rate monitoring is by using Samsung Health, as neither Nike Run Club nor Strava connect directly to the Fit3. Consequently, I’ve switched from NRC to Samsung Health.

However, I’ve encountered a critical issue: if I start the activity from the phone, the watch only displays heart rate data and heart rate zones. If I start the activity directly from the watch, it shows all the useful real-time statistics (so I don't have to hold the phone), but based on what I've read, the workout data might be inaccurate because the GPS doesn't always track the route correctly this way.

Is there a way to solve this so that I can view full running metrics on the watch while starting the activity from the app?

Hi everyone!
My new Galaxy Fit 3 arrived today, purchased new from Vinted. It was sealed, and I verified that the serial numbers on the box, the back of the device, and within the system settings all match. Additionally, as soon as I turned it on, my Samsung phone immediately recognized it and prompted the pairing process. Based on this, I assume it’s a legitimate unit and not a fake (would you agree?).

However, after completing the setup, I charged it to 100%. The issue is that in less than 5 minutes, the battery dropped to 93% without any usage. This doesn't seem normal.

Does anyone have any suggestions or insights?
