Samsung Gear Fit2

Considering it's taken months for the Samsung Gear Fit2 to finally cross the pond, it wasn't with the highest of expectations that I first slapped it on my wrist. Following two weeks of use, however, I've come away impressed. It's definitely the best...

Samsung Galaxy Fit2 review: cheap fitness tracker offers plenty for the price

Samsung Galaxy Fit2: weighing up the pros and cons of Samsung's latest budget fitness band

Comfortable ; Straightforward to use ; Good quality for the very low price

No GPS ; Questionable accuracy

Galaxy Fit2 offers some good, basic health tracking capabilities wrapped up in a compact and sleek design, at a great price. You wouldn't wear it in order to train for a triathlon, however

Samsung Gear Fit 2 review

Samsung's wearable has never been more Fit

Refined look ; Broader compatibility ; Impressive value

Barometer issues ; Doesn't feature an alarm natively ; Limited battery life

With the Gear Fit 2, Samsung made hefty changes to its wearable line both inside and out, and the result is an Android and iOS-friendly device that does a whole lot for your money.

Samsung Galaxy Fit 2 review: Fit for the basics

Samsung's budget band is ideal for fitness and sleep tracking basics, not those into more regemented sports. Here's what we make of it.

Nice and bright screen ; Good battery life ; Does tracking basics well

Heart rate accuracy isn't great ; No GPS support ; Not great for sports tracking

This tracker wraps solid basic fitness and some useful smartwatch features into an attractive, sporty look. There's definitely question marks over accuracy, particularly heart rate. If you want a cheap fitness tracker with a nice screen and good...

Samsung Gear Fit 2 review: Fit Up, Look Sharp

Between the Gear S3 Frontier and the Gear IconX smart headphones Samsung already has a healthy collection of wearable tech to hand. The Samsung Gear Fit

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

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.

Samsung Gear Fit2 review

One fitness tracker that's ahead of the curve...

Heading in the right direction with GPS tracking ; Activity tracking makes this smarter than the average Gear ; Great value overall

An app store devoid of life ; Very little stamina

Welcome upgrades like GPS tracking help the Gear Fit2 keep on pace with the competition

Samsung's Gear Fit 2 nails design, falls short on functionality (review)

The Gear Fit 2 has a beautiful curved-screen design and a long list of features, however it didn't wow us with real world performance.

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,...

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.
