I didn't think I would ever end up saying this about a Samsung Gear Fit device, but the Gear Fit 2 seems like a no-brainer recommendation for anyone looking for their first fitness tracker or as an upgrade over an older Fitbit or Jawbone or Misfit. It p...

Abstract: We were wolfing down lunch in a dank Austin chili parlor, and I flicked my wrist. The time flashed, blue and bright on the OLED screen, and my friends eyes darted to the wearable. “What is that,” she asked—her interest piqued—her need for some perfect bl...

Dedicated GPS, Smartwatchlike notifications, Great display, Solid hardware
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
At a retail launch price of $179, the Gear Fit 2 considerably undercuts the top-end Fitbit Surge, and competes strongly with sub-$200 fitness trackers that don't offer a full screen or possibilities with non-fitness functions. At the same time, the Fit 2...
Only works with Samsung or Android 4.4+ smartphones, Picky about how you begin some exercises, not starting to track you until you're in the exact position, No guided workouts like on the Microsoft Band

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