So, the Gear Fit2 Pro is another fine wearable from Samsung. The trouble is that so is the original Gear Fit2 and thanks to the inescapable march of time, it's now very, very cheap. And almost as good.
Samsung's Gear Fit2 Pro (Large) certainly looks the part, thanks to its futuristic and sleek design. But do the features match those good looks? Let's find out!
You can stay motivated in many ways with the Gear Fit 2 Pro. For example, Under Armour Records lets you monitor activity, sleep and workout stats on one dashboard. Plus, you can share your stats and progress with Under Armour's social network. In a similar vein, Endomondo is a worldwide community of fitness enthusiasts, all ready and willing to keep you motivated as you strive for your running goals. While MapMyRun lets you use real time maps to plan and track routes for running, walking or cycling, and capture every stage of that activity.
This device detects and logs your movements across a wide range of activities.
Because it measures your heart rate on a continuous basis, the Gear Fit2 Pro can assist you in making exercise decisions based on your current heart rate.
The Gear Fit 2 Pro offers IP68 protection, for immersion in water beyond one metre, and no dust ingress.
It's often music that makes exercise bearable, and with 4 GB of memory, you can stack your Gear Fit2 Pro with all your favourite sounds.
When you're on the run, you can still stay in touch with real-time notifications that lets you reply to any messages you may receive.

Awesome fitness watch
From laps to cups of coffee, Samsung's Fit2 Pro tracks your every move
Easy to navigate interface; Water-resistant; Water lock mode avoids errant screen; Streams Spotify and stores 500 songs; Under Armour fitness tracking a fun addition
No iOS or Apple Music support at time of review; Slightly bulky for smaller wrists; Requires a tight fit to register heart rate
The Gear Fit2 Pro tries to bring together simple fitness tracking with smartwatch functionality and does most of the basics right
Activity trackers are big business, or at least they should be. But Jawbone and Pebble have gone under leaving Fitbit as something of a behemoth in the market, supported by the likes of Misfit, TomTom and Garmin.
A solid fitness tracker/smartwatch hybrid, but it's a smidgen overpriced.
Good screen; iOS and Android compatible; Solid distance tracking
Below-average battery life; Expensive
The Gear Fit2 Pro is Samsung's latest smart fitness band. It made its debut at IFA 2017 and is the successor to the Gear Fit2 . It's an iterative improvement, which may be why Samsung opted to keep the same number for it.
Design; Excellent AMOLED display; Well-suited to swimmers
Higher price; Annoyingly complicated configuration; Heart rate measurement sometimes unreliable
The Samsung Gear Fit 2 Pro might be a fitness tracker first and a fairly good one at that, but it doesn't fall short when it comes to being a smartwatch too. If you're looking for better apps above and beyond the fitness-focused ones, the Samsung app ecosystem may not be for you and you're perhaps...
The Samsung Gear Fit 2 Pro isn't a game-changer compared to its predecessor, but waterproofing and continuous heart tracking are welcome additions, especially since they come without a price bump. The Pro model has been launched at the same Rs. 13,990 price as Gear Fit 2, and is already down to Rs.
Built-in GPS; Super AMOLED screen is still great; Waterproofing; can track swims; Full notifications support
Region-locked store is frustrating; Display is weak outdoors; Inaccurate without GPS
The Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro is one of the smartest fitness trackers out there. It's perfect if you are training for a marathon and have a strict regimen. However, if fitness is not your thing, there's no point wasting Rs 13,590 for a watch that will double up as a second screen for your smartphone.
Auto activity detection; Punchy display; Solid build; Swimming-proof
Poor battery; Cumbersome setup process
