The smartwatch cannot receive calls or send text messages without a connection to a mobile phone. It requires a connection to a compatible smartphone in order to use functions such as sending messages or receiving notifications. A multi-device SIM card is not supported as the smartwatch does not have an eSIM or a physical SIM card. However, you can send short, prepared messages when it is connected to a mobile.
Hello ! Yes, the Galaxy Fit3 (40 mm) is compatible with an Oppo phone running ColorOS (Android 13 or 14), as it works with any Android 5.0 or higher device with at least 1.5 GB of RAM. Install the Galaxy Wearable app from the Play Store to pair it. Thanks for your time!
Yes, we also bought the watch for our son. He is 11 years old. The strap is easy to adjust and fits every wrist perfectly. After setting it up, you no longer need a smartphone and the watch can be used independently. A good purchase for us. We would buy it again.
No, the watch does not have a built-in GPS; it uses the GPS of the paired smartphone for position data.
Additional information: The GPS function is available via Bluetooth with a compatible Android smartphone and can be used on LTE models without a paired smartphone; accuracy may be affected by obstacles.
Yes, the alarm time can be set directly via the watch or via alarm times recorded on the smartphone. Since I've had the watch, I've only been woken up this way, I find it more pleasant and I wake up immediately due to the arm vibration.
This watch is compatible with iPhones, but only partially and to a limited extent. It works primarily with Android and the Samsung Health app, while some features may not be available or optimal on iOS. It requires iOS 10.0 or later to connect, but integration is better with Android devices, especially Samsung Galaxy.
The watch can use certain functions such as time display, step counting and basic activity tracking, including heart rate measurement, even without a paired app. However, for advanced tracking and synchronisation of health data with the smartphone, connection to the app is required. This means that you can also measure your heart rate without the app, but the analysis and storage of the data is then limited.
You cannot use Spotify offline with the Galaxy Fit3 (40 mm) as the watch does not have its own music storage or Spotify app. However, you can control music playback on your smartphone (e.g. play/pause, skip tracks, volume) directly from the watch as long as your mobile is within range. For true offline listening with Bluetooth headphones without a mobile phone, you need a model with integrated music storage and Spotify app, which is not the case with the Galaxy Fit3.

The Galaxy Fit 3 can use certain functions such as time display, step counting and basic activity tracking without a paired smartphone, but note that pairing with a smartphone is required for advanced functions such as notifications, GPS tracking or health data synchronisation.
You can use the Galaxy Fit3 without a smartphone as it displays some functions directly on the device, such as heart rate measurement and calories burned. However, some functions such as transferring data or receiving notifications are only possible when the watch is connected to a compatible smartphone. The Galaxy Fit3 is compatible with Android devices, so it will also work with your Xiaomi mobile if you use the Galaxy Wearable app.
Yes, you can receive and read WhatsApp and Snapchat messages on the Samsung Galaxy Fit3. The watch supports the display of instant messages, including those from WhatsApp and Snapchat. However, you can only reply to these messages from a list of predefined replies, as there is no keyboard or microphone for entering texts.
Yes, the Samsung Galaxy Fit3 can be connected to the Samsung Galaxy A72. The Galaxy Fit3 supports Bluetooth v5.3 and is compatible with Android devices, including the Galaxy A72, provided that the smartphone fulfils the necessary system requirements and the necessary software is installed.
The charger for the Galaxy Fit3 typically includes a magnetic charging element that connects directly to the watch. It does not have a traditional USB plug on both ends; instead, it usually comes with a USB-C connector on one end for plugging into a power source, and the other end is designed to magnetically attach to the watch for charging. If your charger seems to have a configuration that doesn't fit into a standard charger, it might be a misunderstanding or a different type of adapter. The standard charger should be a simple magnetic dock that attaches to the watch and connects to a USB port for power.
