Purpose: The design target for the Galaxy Watch is users who want a full smartwatch experience with advanced features and smart capabilities; the Galaxy Fit is designed for the core fitness tracker and health monitor. On the other side, the Galaxy Watch has a comprehensive set of features, while the Galaxy Fit provides basic fitness features at a lower price.
Design: The Galaxy Watch has a far more advanced design, featuring changeable watch faces and a rotating bezel. In contrast, the Galaxy Fit is made with a more basic, functional design. In this regard, the design of the Galaxy Watch is much more versatile, targeting multiple use cases and style tastes.
Features: The high-end features of the Galaxy Watch include GPS, ECG, and support for third-party apps. In contrast, the Galaxy Fit only focuses on core fitness metrics, with the addition of continuous heart rate monitoring. Those who want a bit more advanced health tracking and even smartwatch functionality will more likely prefer a Galaxy Watch.
Battery Life: The Galaxy Fit is normally equipped with a larger battery life, given that it comes with very few demanding features and often could last up to a week on a single charge. In contrast, the Galaxy Watch offers shorter battery life but provides more functionality and features to make up for this shortcoming.
Price: Although far from cheap, the Galaxy Fit is a worthwhile deal for someone seeking to engage in some light fitness tracking on a budget. Given its more premium design and various upgraded features, the Galaxy Watch comes at a slightly steeper cost but pulls off smartwatch functionality.
