Samsung Gear Fit 2: Fitness, with just enough smartwatch\n
Though in some respects the Gear Fit 2 tries to masquerade as more of a general-purpose smartwatch replacement with its larger screen, it doesn't quite fit the bill - and that's right in the name; this is the Gear Fit 2.
Pros:
- Dedicated GPS
- Smartwatch-like notifications
- Great display
- Solid hardware
Cons:
- Too big for small wrists
- Screen shape isn't ideal for notifications
- Less battery life than other fitness bands
- Some won't want to use S Health

The first Gear Fit wasn't a bad product. It was just one that wanted to be something for everyone, disappointing most in the process. Of course, 2014 was a few lifetimes ago. Much has happened in the world of wearables.
Pros:
- Sharp screen
- Good fit
- Solid battery life
Cons:
- Data collection is hit or miss
- Limited app offerings
- No iOS compatibility

Review: Samsung Gear Fit2
The Samsung Gear Fit2 around my wrist thinks I am the world's most ambitious stair-climber. On Tuesday, the sensors packed inside believed I'd climbed 96 flights. At the most, I climbed 70. OK, fine. More like ten.
Pros:
- Better than your average fitness tracker with an AMOLED screen, music player, GPS, and notifications
- Great price for feature set
- Comfy fit
- Automatically recognizes some types of exercise
Cons:
- Android-only phone features
- It's waterproof, but wearing it in the shower can confuse the barometer
- Not many apps available for the band itself

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 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
