Samsung Gear Fit 2 review: Samsung nails design, falls short on functionality

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

Samsung Gear Fit 2 review: Samsung gets fitness tracking right

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.
Pros:
  • Comfortable band
  • Tracks everything except swimming
  • Built-in GPS
Cons:
  • Band still isn't very attractive
  • Display not visible in sunlight
  • Android only

Samsung Gear Fit2

Samsung's first effort, the Gear Fit , was an attractive and functional fitness tracker held back by some irritating limitations. Chief among them was the fact that you needed a Samsung Galaxy phone to use it. Samsung has solved this issue, along with many others, with the Gear Fit2 ($179.99).
Pros:
  • Sharp, colorful display
  • Comfortable
  • Doesn't require a Samsung phone
  • Integrated GPS and heart rate monitor
  • Standalone music player with Bluetooth streaming capability
Cons:
  • No iOS support
  • Few additional apps or watch faces available at launch
  • Narrow screen results in cramped, awkward layouts
  • Heart rate monitoring isn't continuous

Wearable devices today generally fall into two categories: fitness trackers or smartwatches. Since many people are looking for different features and functions, the fact that there are so many different devices with varying features is not surprising.

Samsung Gear Fit 2 review: For those who like to mix up their fitness routines

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...
