Samsung Gear Fit 2 is priced at Rs 13,990, and comes with a heart-rate sensor as well. But is it worth the price tag? Here's our full review.

Considering it's taken months for the Samsung Gear Fit2 to finally cross the pond, it wasn't with the highest of expectations that I first slapped it on my wrist. Following two weeks of use, however, I've come away impressed. It's definitely the best fitness wearable Samsung has produced.

Great notification management; Vibrant display; Accurate distance and HRM tracking; Useful activity tracking and prompts

Lacking training insight; Spotty bodyweight exercise rep counting

Samsung's Gear Fit 2 beats Fitbit at its own game

Wide curved display shows stats; Heart rate tracking; Tons of fitness metrics; Notification support; 3 day battery life

Still too big for the small wristed; The interface is too dense; No iOS support -- yet

The Gear Fit 2 is one of the pricier options in the market, especially if you consider Fitbit Charge 2, or Fitbit Alta 2, Garmin VivoSmart 2, Misfit Shine 2, etc. I'm not impressed with the battery life, although I'd say this is better suited to those who like to do more than one activity for...

At £179, Samsung has hit the perfect price point for the Gear Fit2. It’s stocked full of tech, with GPS tracking really adding value to the original model’s otherwise comprehensive set of sensors. Factor in the sleek design, and this fitness tracker has everything you’d need, whether you’re a couch potato searching for motivation or a gym-dweller looking for more training discipline. But this impressive hardware feels wasted when there’s such a poor choice of apps to go with it. Sure, the basic software will mostly do the job, but it still feels like wasted potential. Saying that, there’s still plenty of time for Samsung to fill their store with content. And why should we be so obsessed with extra content when it does the bare essentials so well? If you just want a smart-looking fitness tracker to encourage you to finally fulfil your New Year’s Resolution, the Gear Fit2 has more than enough to get you over that hurdle.

Heading in the right direction with GPS tracking; Activity tracking makes this smarter than the average Gear; Great value overall;

An app store devoid of life; Very little stamina;

I have to give Samsung credit: it went from making a me-too wearable to making something that feels like a serious commitment, something that its intended audience would actually want to use. I'm talking about the Samsung Gear Fit 2, the company's new activity-tracking wristband.

Comfortable band; Tracks everything except swimming; Built-in GPS

Band still isn't very attractive; Display not visible in sunlight; Android only

Samsung got my attention with the Gear Fit 2. It had everything I looked for in a fitness tracker: all-day fitness tracking, heart rate, GPS for tracking pace and distance when running, smartphone notifications, inactivity alerts and automatic exercise detection. It even had some features I never even thought I would use, such as onboard music storage, and water and caffeine tacking.

The Gear Fit 2 is a great-looking feature-packed fitness band, but its design isn't always perfect for hardcore workout warriors.

The Gear Fit 2 has a slim design with a beautiful curved AMOLED display that can show smartphone notifications and weekly charts; It also has GPS, heart-rate monitoring, onboard music storage for up to 1,000 songs, all-day fitness and sleep tracking, and automatic exercise detection.

Short battery life; The accuracy of the heart-rate sensor fluctuates during workouts; You can't wear in the shower or while swimming; No iPhone support; Samsung's S Health app can be confusing.

I read lots of reviews on this piece before it was available in Canada and they didn't disappoint. I am very pleased with this device. I use it paired with my Galaxy S7

As so, there you have it. A smart wearable by Samsung that hopes to give users a better look into their daily fitness. When taken in the context of fitness trackers, the Gear Fit 2 finds itself among an incredibly crowded market filled with companies that have a lot more experience in the fit world.

Easy to wear...able (ha) - Screen is well sized and easy to use - 4GB onboard storage for local music files - Can play music to Bluetooth headsets - Plenty of tools to track more than just workouts - Automatic tracking of activity and sleep

- Battery life largely varies depending on usage - Lack of apps in Tizen ecosystem - Heart rate tracking inaccurate during more intense workouts - Heart rate monitoring off for all but cardio activities - Replying to notifications is severely limited - No alarm despite sleep tracking
