Gear Fit 2, your best companion for running
We already shared the news a week ago about the presentation of the Gear Fit 2, the Samsung wearable that this time has arrived with a renewed design on what was the first Gear Fit. It is characterized by an ergonomic shape and its 1.5-inch Super AMOLED curved screen. It also includes several interesting internal updates such as the heart rate monitor and GPS. If GPS is an important element, it is because it means that the Gear Fit 2 is no longer dependent on a paired smartphone to collect geolocation data, so for some aspects, it remains more independent.
The new activity bracelet is also characterized by a good list of functionalities for the physical activity record with which we have automatic detection for practice sports such as walking, running, cycling, rowing machines and elliptical machines, while it will feature more specific exercises such as Pilates, push-ups and sit-ups. The inclusion of Samsung's S Health app allows users to create step challenges and compete against friends, while we can play music from major streaming services such as Pandora, Google Music, Spotify, Milk Music and Amazon.
Samsung maintains that Gear Fit 2 offers a two to three day battery life with normal use of daily exercises. Compatible with Android 4.4 or higher smartphones and is available in black, blue and pink.
