Bought this and it has never worked properly. When i can get it to charge (it pleases its self when if it does) it doesn't last more than a couple of hours.

I have had mine for about a year and the strap is the worst ever it unclips at least once a week I even bought aftermarket ones and the same thing

This item has too many flaws and inaccuracies to be of any use for its designated purpose. It could be used as a basic pedometer, but all other functions are wildly inaccurate. The screen can't be viewed in daylight and it illuminating randomly at night is very irritating.

Apart from making smartwatches like the Gear S2 and the new Gear S3 , Samsung has not forgotten about their fitness wearable segment. The latest incarnation of Samsung's fitness bands, the Gear Fit2 certainly sports quite a few upgrades compared to its predecessor. Read on to find out what we think.

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.

Sharp screen; Good fit; Solid battery life

Data collection is hit or miss; Limited app offerings; No iOS compatibility

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.

Dedicated GPS; Smartwatch-like 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

Among recent launches of new generation fitness trackers, the Samsung Gear Fit2 was announced at Note 7 launch in India...

Automatic exercise tracking; Refined design with a larger screen; Light and comfortable to wear; Standalone BT Audio playback and GPS for distance measurement

Only a couple of third party apps supported; Water resistant but not for swimming; Short backup duration of about 2 days

Samsung's wearables have been on the minds of the mainstream for years now, and it's this Gear lineup of products that Samsung likes to use for its latest accessories experiments and other wearable hardware.

Attractive design; Lightweight and comfortable; Gorgeous curved screen; 3-day or longer battery life; Significant additional functionality versus other fitness trackers; Comfortable band; S-Health integration is phenomenal; Automatic tracking is incredibly accurate; Stats tracked are accurate and...

App support is lacking at launch; Only a few watch faces to choose from; Always-on display drains too much battery; Clasp comes loose too easily

We were wolfing down lunch in a dank Austin chilli parlor, and I flicked my wrist. The time flashed, blue and bright on the OLED screen, and my friend's eyes darted to the wearable. "What is that," she asked - her interest piqued - her need for some perfect blend of Fitbit and Apple Watch apparent.
