The new Samsung Galaxy Fit 3 fitness tracker may be just around the corner. Leaked images of the alleged device, shared today by WindowsReport, reveal a fresh design for the series, with what looks like a seriously upgraded screen. Here’s what we know so far.
Galaxy Fit 3 — A long-awaited upgrade to the Fit 2
It’s been three years since the Galaxy Fit 2 launched, which in the realm of consumer technology, is quite a while. While it's ancient history now, this budget-minded tracker offered some solid specs when it debuted, boasting a modest-sized 1.1-inch color AMOLED screen, 50 meters of water resistance and 15 days of battery life.
Fitness tracking features, while also respectable in their time, are fairly rudimentary by 2023 standards. The device keeps tabs on heart rate, sleep, steps and not much else. This is all to say that there is much room for improvement in a successor device. So will the Galaxy Fit 3 rise to the occasion?
Galaxy Fit 3 — what we know so far
The screen is almost certainly larger than the itsy-bitsy 1.1-inch display of the Fit 2. It also appears to have quite a bit more horizontal real estate; we suspect Samsung will stick with an AMOLED panel.
From the back, the Fit 3 looks pleasantly thin, which is always appreciated. We can also see what is likely a heart rate sensor and possibly a body temperature sensor and/or an infrared blood oxygen monitoring sensor (SpO2).
No word on whether the device will sport built-in GPS, but given its apparent thinness and the price-conscious nature of the Fit line in general, it very well may not. Meanwhile, Samsung’s pricier wrist wearables, including the Galaxy Watch 6, do offer onboard GPS.
Galaxy Fit 3 — what we hope for
Beyond a built-in GPS and reasonable price tag, we’d love to see the Fit 3 up its fitness and health monitoring features. Onboard storage for music would be a nice touch, as would the option for cashless payments. One other upgrade we’d love to see is a switch to Google’s Wear OS. This would potentially unlock third-party app compatibility for things like Google Maps and more.
Galaxy Fit 3 — price & launch date predictions
Right now, all we can do is speculate about both (we'll update this article as soon as we know more).
With that in mind, we’d expect the price to remain well below $200 to give the Samsung Galaxy Watch line some breathing room— the flagship Galaxy 6 is on sale for $270 at the moment. And the inclusion of a GPS (or not) will likely play a factor in its final cost.
In terms of the launch date, with the Samsung Galaxy S24 likely to arrive in January 2024, there's a chance that the Samsung Galaxy Fit 3 will also debut then. But this is by no means guaranteed. At this point, though, it seems unlikely will get our hands on the Fit 3 before the holidays. But stranger things have happened this time of year (like D’Angelo dropping his legendary record, Black Messiah on December 15, 2014).
Speaking of the holidays, here are some of the best deals currently circulating on smartwatches, running watches and fitness trackers. Can’t decide which device is right for you? Read this article.

Today's best Black Friday deals
Fitbit Charge 6: was $159 now $99 @ Best Buy
When it comes to deals on Fitbits, it really doesn’t get better than this. The Charge 6 sits between the more budget-focused Inspire 3 and the technology-packed Sense 2 smartwatch. Like the Inspire, the Charge is a rather petite device. But like the Sense, it’s got all the best health-tracking tech Fitbit has to offer. You also get 7 days of battery life and 50 meters of weather resistance, all packed into a super comfy wearable. View Deal
Garmin Forerunner 245 Music: was $350 now $210 @ Amazon
This is one of the two deals I’m most excited about (the other is just below). The Forerunner 245 Music is a running and fitness-focused watch that offers the ability to, you guessed it, listen to music while running, without having to carry a smartphone (you can save up to 500 songs). I like this watch for its large, bright display and solid battery life. It’s also jam-packed with training metrics. Best of all, it’s smaller than a lot of other Garmin fitness watches (42mm case size), making it a little more inclusive for the masses. View Deal
Fitbit Sense 2: was $300 now $198 @ Amazon
The Fitbit Sense 2 is one of my favorite smartwatches, especially for keeping tabs on wellness and fitness goals. It also happens to be available for a super-low price at the moment. Beyond its comfy, customizable design and above-average battery life, the Sense 2 offers an array of useful tracking metrics and health features, including stress and sleep tracking. Plus, it plays nice with Google apps, like Maps and Wallet, both of which can be quite useful when out on a run.View Deal
