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.
Manufacturer: Samsung
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
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
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.
The Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro arrives at a weird time. It's an upgrade to the Gear Fit2 but entering a world where fitness trackers are seemingly losing steam to more capable smartwatches, which are getting better at, and focusing more on, health and activity tracking.
That gorgeous display; Offline Spotify; Even more fitness features
HR and swimming inaccuracies; Some connectivity/sync problems; Battery could be better
I had it for few weeks now. I get good battery life, has independent gps location tracking. Music can be downloaded to the device and is pretty functional. If it had more apps, which are useful, it would be better. I wish it could take voice commands. Also, built-in speakers would be nice.
Bright display; Realistic color; Lightweight
no voice commands; no built-in speakers; hence cannot answer phone call
Great smart watch only issue is only special bluetooth headphones link to watch
Bought this a couple of weeks ago and I love it! Very clever little watch. Connected 1st time to my S6 Edge + with no problems what so ever. So easy to navigate around. Love the water lock feature as I can now wear it for work. Haven't found anything I don't like about it.
This feels more like a watch then it does a fitness band. Has as many features as some of the more expensive models which are marketed as smart watches. It's comfortable and looks really good. The battery doesn't last as long as they say when all the features are turned on but that's to be expected.
The Samsung Gear Fit 2 is a well-round fitness tracker that's more than the sum of its parts. Its integrated GPS and heart-rate sensor are both on point, while its sizeable screen is both beautiful and responsive.
Accurate distance and heart-rate tracking; Solid notification options; Cool and comfortable design; Bright and crisp display
Uninspiring battery life; S Health lacks training advice; Live data is limited
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
