6 Best Smartwatches for Libre 3: Expert Picks

Customer Review: I switched from an Apple Watch to the TRex. The main reason I wanted to switch was battery life. The Apple Watch at best could get 24-30 hours, but general use 24hrs was my average. I looked at the Garmin Fenix 8 but I really just didn’t want to pay that price. I watched review after review and felt the TRex was the right fit for my needs. Concerns before I purchased: messaging, calls, no Speaker. I have had the device now for about 45 days. Durability – this is a solid watch. I have been doing a full kitchen gut and remodel. I have worn this watch the whole time and it looks like me. No scratches or evidence of any damage. Battery Life – I think confidently 18 days is consistent. The first few days I was messing with the settings and looking it over a lot so battery was only 10 days after charging to 90%. I think you could get even more if I turned off notifications and brightness down. Navigation and menus – the OS is really smooth. Very fast to respond. I like the mix of buttons and touch screen. Especially when you have gloves on and such. Insights and Health – I think it is far more accurate on steps than my Apple Watch. I wore both watches on the same wrist for a full day and I never realized how many non-steps my Apple Watch was picking up. I was sitting and typing at my desk. The Apple Watch picked up a nearly 100 phantom steps. The TRex picks up stress pretty well. It notices when I am thinking about a topic that is stressing me, like “is my flooring going to arrive in time?” Or “we only have x hours to complete this before the contractors are here!” Lots of good health habit reminders and such. I am looking forward to getting more use out of them once this project is over. Price, quality, and worry – when you have an expensive watch you worry about damage. It’s not to say I don’t worry about this watch, but when it’s 1/3 or 1/5 of the price of the other watches you looked at, it’s nice to be able to just enjoy it. Lots of compliments on its appearance and screen brightness. A lot of watch for the price. The gaps: I do have moments I wish I could do a voice reply to a text or quick reply, but Apple doesn’t allow that. No speaker is a kind of a bummer and I typically don’t pair my headphones to my watch, but that would be nice to be phone-free for a run or workout. Overall, I really like the watch. I thought I would miss the Apple Watch integrations, but I don’t. The TRex still has the camera remote and find my phone features. I don’t really notice anything yet that I miss from my Apple Watch that I would say is a “send it back!” Thing. Updates are fast and so far little tweaks will continue to improve it. I would buy it again.

Customer Review: After using for over 2 months, I can say that this smart watch has more “whistles and bells” than this 68 year old man will ever use, such over 170 sport modes, sleep and health tracking, life coach, etc. I am an avid hiker, and I bought the watch for the mapping features. I download maps of the area where I’m going to hike, and the 6 satellite dual band GPS system gives accurate turn by turn directions, if I get lost. The watch tracks my steps and miles accurately, and the heart monitor is also very good. That’s all I want it to do! The AMOLED face is bright, and large enough for me to use without wearing reading glasses. It is very rugged (although I did buy a protector for the crystal) and I have found that the battery lasts at least 20 days with fairly heavy use. The plastic band is comfortable and the watch looks good even on my slender wrist. I didn’t want to spend $400.00 for a smart watch and I am very happy with this one!

Customer Review: I’ve had this watch about 2 weeks and I love it. It’s very comfortable to wear. It looks great and it does what I need it to do. I didn’t need a fancy smart watch. I was really looking for a fitness tracker. Before this watch I had a Garmin Vivosmart 4 but after 5 years the band broke. I didn’t like that the Vivosmart 4 had a very solid part that was built into the silicone band. Once it broke I was unable to repair the band. I like that this watch has a band that can be replaced and I’ll probably get a few replacement bands just to be sure this lasts a while. I don’t change my tech out very often. I’m using the band with a Samsung Galaxy FE23 phone so it syncs up easily. The accuracy seems decent but I wasn’t expecting it to be perfect anyway. I haven’t tried out the GPS connection and tracking yet. I do a lot of parade marching in the summer and it’ll be getting a good test then. The watch is very easy to charge and charges quickly. The one feature that I kind of wish it had would be contactless payment but that’s not a deal breaker for me. One thing I was concerned about with this watch was that it wasn’t coming directly from Samsung and it’s an international version that doesn’t have a US warranty. I bought the Asurion warranty just to be safe. What I got was NOT a used product. It was new and in a sealed box. I took photos as proof. When the watch started up the text was in Spanish but the first thing to do was setting up the language so that was easy to fix. I definitely recommend this watch if you’re looking for just a fitness tracker. It’s a very good product so far. It’s at an excellent price point compared to other smart watches. Also the seller seems reliable. I have no complaints with what I received.

Customer Review: Arrived quicker than scheduled so that was a nice surprise. I love the soft pink color and I also like the larger screen. My last fitness tracker was smaller screen. This looks similar to a well known expensive brand watch. I just got it today and got right to programming it so I could start wearing it. I can’t rate it on durability or accuracy yet but I sure hope it will be more reliable than my last fitness tracker which I won’t mention the brand. I like the brightness of the screen which I find easier to read outdoors. UPDATE: Samsung Galaxy Fit 3 (2024) review continued: I’m quite pleased with this item as it seems to actually work each day! Imagine a fitness tracker that actually works and doesn’t randomly stop mid day!! Another plus that I discovered by accident is my watch reminds me when I’m out of range of my phone. This helps me to remember to not leave my phone behind if I’m working outside or over at my son’s house. I have gotten home and realized an hour later that my phone isn’t in my bag. This watch vibrates right away when the phone isn’t in range. As an older person this is a help for me. I want to have my phone nearby in case I have a medical issue. I also love the bigger screen and the watch is very responsive which was another frustration with my last fitness tracker. I love the long charge battery life. I doubt I’ll ever go back to my prior fitness tracker as it was so maddening to NOT be able to figure out the issues and sometimes it would “wake up” and start working again. This Samsung Galaxy Fit 3 is easy to wear and provides the health tracking numbers that matter to me. Thumbs up.

Customer Review: Nice replacement for (inaccurate) tracker. Wore both for several days to test the reliability. FIT 3 won hands down every category. The only issue has the occasional disconnect from the app but not a deal breaker. Good battery life.

Customer Review: Great fitness band with limited smartwatch features. The Galaxy Fit 3 is more of a fitness tracker than smartwatch, but it does have some smart watch features. Primarily, you can see texts that you receive on your watch, and call notifications. The big differences between this and a smartwatch are that you can’t make calls, and it is wifi only, so doesn’t have full functionality without a paired phone. The tracking modes are all at least as accurate, if not more accurate than fitbit trackers, and the battery will last a good 3-5 days based on use. If you are looking for a fitbit replacement, this is a great option, especially for samsung users (I do not have an iphone, so couldn’t test it within that ecosystem). If you are looking more for a stand-alone smartwatch, you probably want to look at something else.

Customer Review: OK, I’m a Luddite when it comes to tech that does everything but makes the morning coffee. (Maybe it can now or soon…) I just want some basic information collection so I can evaluate how I’m doing. This watch gives me that data on sleep efficiency, steps, heart rate, SpO2, and monitors many exercise activities. The battery life is long (as long as you don’t use the big drainage features – which I don’t need) The phone app works on my iPhone and gives an adequate log of data over time. I get a map of my hikes with time elapsed, milage, elevation gain and lost and exertion levels plus more info. The app wants me to join a pay level that gives more info and advice but I do not need that feature. All in all a realy good functional watch with exceptional monitoring capabilities. I guess it wouldn’t be great for triathletes but good enough for me. Drawback is, it is hard to read the watchface in sunlight.

Customer Review: When looking for a new smart watch, I read that Amazfit watches were the best to get. I can agree, as this watch is really nice. Aesthetically it’s very nice, and the watch face is actually customizable. There’s a lot of customization features within the app and the watch syncs very easily. There’s a lot of features in general, something for everyone. The only flaw I can’t seem to figure out, is the notifications will only come through if its a text or call. Now, that’s not a big deal and it works pretty well, but I want to be able to route other notifications like messaging apps to it as well. It may be an option but so far I haven’t seen it. The interface is smooth and the quality of the screen is surprisingly nice. Overall, a quality purchase. If you’re prone to losing your watches or are looking for something on a budget, this is a great option.

Customer Review: I’m extremely pleased with this smartwatch. My main reason to purchase this for my husband was the ability to measure the blood pressure. Its accuracy is astounding and gives me incredible confidence to keep a better watch on his health. We are very active but a recent emergency put a huge damper on this ability. Carrying around a blood pressure machine all day wherever you go is more than a nuisance, it’s unsustainable. After the first day I already knew I could trust the readings. The app is just the right amount of sophisticated for him and he also learned using the features of the watch with ease. We are both senior citizens and not on the cutting edge of technology. A complicated watch would be counterproductive. I absolutely love the battery life and I already prefer it over my Pixel watch that requires recharging daily. The watch is water resistant and has a huge amount of activity settings, from walking to many fitness equipment found in the gym. I’m so happy I bought this for my husband and the sale came at the perfect time. As a low tech person, he is my true test to confidently recommend this watch to others. Easy to use, packs a solid punch to increase health, at an affordable cost. I highly recommend this watch to anyone who wants to track the health and increase their quality of life. Thank me later for recommending a watch that you can wear continuously for days without charging. And the charging itself is accomplished in 2-3 hrs so it will be ready before you head to bed.

Customer Review: Great price for a great watch! Attractive but Not overly big. Records steps, BP, heart rate, and SO much more. Easy to program with lots of fun watch faces to choose from.

Customer Review: Great watch for the price. So many good features, I don’t even know where to start. First off the watch will actually display your phone saved contact name when someone calls, even if you don’t save any contacts to the watch or app. This watch will pretty much allow you to push any notification that your phone receives with no limits. The battery lasts a very long time and charges very quickly. The watch has a nice silicon band that fits and feels well. I never tried the other band. You can dial out with a dial pad from the watch. You can fully read text and any notifications. The issue a lot of people stated they had with media being played through the watch is an easy fix in the watch menu, just turn off media audio. The sports and health settings work great. A+ I don’t think you could even ask for a better watch for the price. As long as it holds up decently over time, I will gladly buy another. And it looks great. The watch face and body also look and feel very quality built. The watch can be dimmed for low light and can also be turned up incredibly bright, no issues seeing the face even in direct sun with sunglasses on. I have had zero issues with connectivity it’s been flawless for me. Go ahead and purchase you won’t regret it. Heck you can’t even get taco bell for a family of 4 for the price of this watch lol.

Customer Review: I give this a 5 star. I do have a couple things that bother me a little. I get 3 days of battery life and not sure why when I turned off all notifications. Maybe I am doing something wrong. I bought 2 watches for my dad and I. He never wears watches so wanted to see how much he has been sleeping. The first few nights I don’t think it was accurate but I think it has gotten better. I’m ok with charging it every 3 days but when I am at work and if it hits 20% it continues to alert about everything 5 mins. Otherwise I love the watch. I am female and it fits me good so women don’t be afraid to buy a man’s watch. I work in the medical field so its nice that it can get wet. Now I just need to find out what the mm size is to order some additional watch bands. Hopefully I can find one that has the buckle to just slide it in to attach to for easier closer for disabled people (like my dad) to put on. The bands can be a little frustrating if you fingers don’t work well.
