Samsung Gear Fit 2 Review

You are presented with various options if you decide to stick with Samsung for your fitness tracker. First of all, there are two sizes and you should check the chart if you want to know which one is the perfect for you. Other than that, there are three colors to choose from: black, blue, and pink. The package we were reviewing also includes metal ear buds, two neoprene pouches, and a cleaning cloth for the display. We would also like to showcase the fact that it uses GPS tracking, which is a major advantage over the competition.

Pros / What Customers Like:

  • Samsung has been able to provide many functions with this band; it includes GPS tracking, as well as a heart-rate monitor.
  • Samsung Gear Fit2 even has its own storage and it can be used to store music for your exercise.
  • It automatically recognizes what activity you are participating in and it adapts to the situation.

Cons / What Customers Don't Like:

-The price varies from seller to seller, but this package with additional equipment can be quite expensive for some people. -The band itself is not compatible with iOS users. -It's not water resistant enough, but it can't be used in the rain

Verdict:

This fitness band offers a variety of functions for which you would have to buy multiple other bands. The display is also large and it displays a lot of information in a beautiful manner, but it comes with a price since it affects the battery life greatly. Also, its integration with Android OS is amazing and you can view and take action for your notifications. However, most of its function don't work as well as you would expect them and some tiny bugs really need to be fixed if Samsung wants to provide a good band for the price it displays.
