Samsung Gear Fit 2 – A pricey but gorgeous fitness tracker
The Samsung Gear Fit 2 is finally here to bring the attention back to fitness first and foremost. We will certainly say that the Gear Fit 2 is a significantly better design fitness tracker than its predecessor. The time in between the two, seem to help Samsung fashion together a beautiful-looking wrist strap fitness tracker. There is not that bulkiness anymore because the Gear Fit 2 has been slimmed down tremendously. There’s no more confusion about its operation or orientation because it's all vertical here.
The curved design allows it to contour a wrist nicely making the feel comfortable and ergonomic. it's the one the better-looking fitness trackers out there especially when compared to things like the Fitbit Alta, Jawbone Up 3 or the UA band. However, it’s not as chunky as those SmartWatch light ones like the Fitbit Surge, the Microsoft Band 2 or even the Basis Peak.
Now part of the reason why it's larger than some of those other fitness trackers is because it features a larger 1.5 inch - 216 x 432 curved super AMOLED display. It looks pretty good. Colors are super potent and punchy and the high-resolution display makes it exquisitely sharp and detailed. The screen is by far the biggest attention grabber with the Gear Fit 2.
Nearly every aspect has been improved. they've added in IP68 rating, built-in GPS, a barometer, 512 megabytes of ram and 4 gigabytes of internal storage and as usual it comes with a heart rate sensor on the underside to measure your pulse. Now the addition of GPS is key here since you can now track the runs independently. The bands are replaceable somewhat to the implementation used by the Gear S2, which simply relies on a latch for quick and easy removal. Two sizes will be made available – small or large. Therefore, you'll want size up beforehand to know which one is right for you.
Indeed the design and feature set of the Gear Fit 2 is incredible. But it's worth amongst users will most likely lie in its ability to focus on fitness. With a price tag of a hundred eighty dollars, it's clearly grazing into SmartWatch territory. It’s going to compete head-on with the likes of the Fitbit Blaze and Microsoft Band 2.
