The Gear Fit2 Pro is Samsung's latest smart fitness band. It made its debut at IFA 2017 and is the successor to the Gear Fit2 . It's an iterative improvement, which may be why Samsung opted to keep the same number for it.

Design; Excellent AMOLED display; Well-suited to swimmers

Higher price; Annoyingly complicated configuration; Heart rate measurement sometimes unreliable

Samsung has already unveiled the Galaxy Note8 just a week prior to the IFA in Berlin. It did even spill the beans, accidentally or not, on the Gear Fit2 band. So, what was left for the actual expo then?

So, the Gear Fit2 Pro is another fine wearable from Samsung. The trouble is that so is the original Gear Fit2 and thanks to the inescapable march of time, it's now very, very cheap. And almost as good.

Like the Samsung Gear Fit 2, the Samsung Gear Fit 2 Pro is a fitness tracker designed for the masses, with more complete fitness tracking, which now includes swimming. The offline Spotify music and playlists support and improved standard watch strap really make it better than before.

#IFA2017 – Samsung unveiled its new wearable lineup at IFA in Berlin, and the new Gear Fit2 Pro is the successor of the Gear Fit2. The new smart band gets water resistance up to 5 ATM (Atmosphere, a pressure unit) certification and salt resistance, meaning that users will be able to track swim even...

I had it for few weeks now. I get good battery life, has independent gps location tracking. Music can be downloaded to the device and is pretty functional. If it had more apps, which are useful, it would be better. I wish it could take voice commands. Also, built-in speakers would be nice.

Bright display; Realistic color; Lightweight

no voice commands; no built-in speakers; hence cannot answer phone call

Great smart watch only issue is only special bluetooth headphones link to watch

You are out of luck! my gear fit 2 pro also stopped tracking steps, heart rate, turning on with wrist movements...I sent it in to samsung (4months used) under warranty and was told the problem is due to "liquid Damage".. I never even had a chance to expose it to water or rain or anything!

A solid fitness tracker/smartwatch hybrid, but it's a smidgen overpriced.

Good screen; iOS and Android compatible; Solid distance tracking

Below-average battery life; Expensive

The Gear Fit2 Pro tries to bring together simple fitness tracking with smartwatch functionality and does most of the basics right
