Gear Fit 2 Price in India: INR 13,990 (goo.gl/AFnH3F)
Gear Fit 2 Price in US: $179 (goo.gl/ePSFzx)
The Gear Fit 2 works with any android phone that’s running Android kitkat and higher all though it is running the Tizen OS which is Samsung’s very own proprietary software but completely compatible with Android.
The Gear Fit 2 is something between a fitness band and a smartwatch. It’s got all the features of a fitness band but topped with some benefits of a smartwatch - like Android notifications, ability to reply to messages with short texts and to download some apps.
The Gear Fit 2 comes with a built-in GPS and heart rate sensor as you can see at the back.
You’d also see charging terminals at the back which magnetically stick to the charger to wirelessly charge the device. In about 1.5 to 2 hours, the Gear Fit 2 can go from 0 to 100% battery.
It’s got a 1.5 inch curved super amoled panel which is bright, colourful and really crisp - the best I’ve ever seen on any smart watch - let alone fitness bands out there. The curve nature contours really well around the wrist but also assists in better readability.
The display is coated with Gorilla Glass 3 - it’s not shatterproof though so be careful.
The metal trim around the device gives it a higher quality and premium feel but the overall plastic body keeps the device light weight and comfortable to wear for a longer time.
The band is what makes all the difference I believe. It’s an elastomer which is soft and rubber like but stretches and bends incredibly easily. The clasp is what is a little weird because it may open up by getting stuck somewhere if you’re wearing it all the time and especially if you plan to exercise a lot while wearing this.
The band is detachable and I’m sure Samsung would make some options available soon. So watch out for those.
The Gear Fit 2 is IP 68 water and dust resistant so you can definitely take this one for a swim!
Gear Fit 2 is powered by Tizen and you’d be interacting with the Gear Fit 2 through its beautiful touch screen and the 2 buttons on the right edge. The button on the top is to go back while the one at the bottom is to launch apps.
There are plenty of watch faces available that can be customized to suit your mood or what you’re wearing for the day. Watch faces tell more than just time - different watch faces can give you different kind of information pieces - some will give you weather, some will tell you steps taken and calories burnt and some would convey a track of your heart rate activity.
If you’re bored by what’s already pre-fed, you could head to the Gear app store and browse through thousands of them. Some are free and some are paid.
One of the best things about the Fit 2 is the auto tracking feature. As soon as you start an activity like cycling, running, walking or sleeping - the device automatically detects it and tracks the activity. Without you having to manually start what you’re doing.
Activities are automatically synced to S Health app which is a pretty comprehensive health tracker app from Samsung that gives you loads of data and tracks them quite accurately. It is synced to your profile so even if you switch devices, your data is intact.
While it tracks your activity, it automatically keeps track of factors like heart rate, weather, speed, distance & altitude and connects it to your performance.
On an average the Gear Fit 2 lasts about 3 days including constant wear and tracking whether I’m working out or sleeping. The 3 day life might sound less than other fitness trackers but then this is not your ordinary fitness band - it’s got a brilliant screen, tons of features and android notification system with option to download some apps that can make this band more useful.
Useful tracking data is presented to you immediately after you are done working out - say running. It gives you various statistical information as you can see and something that other bands just don’t offer.
Overall, for its price point, the Gear Fit 2 definitely offers more than a standard fitness band does. And add to this a large smooth curved super AMOLED display with awesome colors, it’s really a delight on your wrist. 3 days of battery life is really not a deal breaker because, seriously, it just takes 3 days - Věda a technologie

I rode my bicycle and walked and in the graphs gave me everything except the valued map of where I went ??? Why?
How do I set that feature before a workout to get the map ???
What watch face is that at 3:20? Thanks.
Your accent kept me on my toes this entire video.
for excercise, can Gear Fit 2 connect to Strava??
I am very pleased with your review,but as a friendly suggestion, try and limit the "uh"s from your review. keep up the good work!
English is his second language, there is bound to be some struggle speaking it.
Parker Leigh he is Indian I can judge by his voice
i didn’t notice that many uhs and i thought he did great
@@faatehsifaat i know. I remember him from talking on the phone with Microsoft Windows support 😅
Following mail cmnawale@Gmail,com in Hindi language please sent this review ओर your brousher
How do you keep the watch on display permanently? Mine is blank and watch only shows when I move my hand on press the button
Does it work with the Samsung Galaxy 8?
+Kpop Addict yes
Hi. Does this have inactivity tracker?
Connect with All mobile or only sumsung??
Hi. Does it notify the pace number or the count the km during the running (if I'm with earphones)?
+NogaHd yea
Does it measure blood pressure?
Any idea how the glass would handle slight impacts, like if you dropped it or if you hit something with your wrist while moving?
It holds. But if you do it often, it'll get light scratches that will remove the polish and shine on top
mobiscrub thank you!
i am unable to see my apps on the gear fit. help!
Beware it looks good but : I am 74 and use the watch for counting steps,
heart rate and in general to motivate me to stay fit. I have had 2 of
these watches in 3 years. The band fails at the interface between watch
and band. I was on the deck of a sailing boat doing nothing much when
watch unexpectedly fell off. Second time the band fell off and ended up
in motor mower. It is not that the latch fails but the interface fails.
I have had 3 bands replaced so far and one is now failing after 10 months. The other problem is that the recharging pins can fail by falling or maybe wearing out. Otherwise I
have like the functionality of the watch.
is their a water lock mode?
Can you listen to music on the fit pro directly ? like does it have a built in speaker ?
+Zangetzu33 no
Thank you for the fast reply ! well i guess i'll keep my Gear S
Always on display ?
love it, but cant put the weather a snyck it to my iphone
It works with vivo V11PRO
What a difference it is Fit2 and Fit2 pro?
excellent review...good one.
+Rajdeep Chakraborty happy to help :)
Is there any facility to make call ?
This device has one BIG problem: after working for about two months the device stop to charge. It shows a light bolt icon for half a second - and that's it. I bought two of these devices - both with the same issue. A short dig on google shows that I am not the only one with this problem. Changing the battery with new on I found online gave the same thing. It is as if the device is designed to work for few months and then to die. buy buy $400.
which is better this aur fit 2 pro
What about j1
can you please tell me which one do I buy, the gear fit 2 or gear s 2 as my daily watch and activities tracker?
+Mohammed_ aqs gear s2 is obviously better...but the gear s3 is about to release..might as well wait
O.k. thanks a lot my dear friend.. ☺
Mohammed_ aqs
Mohammed_ aqs
what is the price SA price fkr tbe Samsung Gear Fit 2
thnx
I'm currently using Fitbit charge HR n thinking of buying this. should I buy this or may be go for Fitbit charge 2? also, does this measure HR continuously during workouts? I read somewhere it only measures min n max HR. And yea, any idea when gear fit 3 is coming out?
+Afey Mohamed the gear fit 2 just came out..so, gear fit 3 is nowhere around.
It measures only minimum and max...yes..but you'll know your peaks...why does continuous hr matter? I like this better only because of its display and it gives you more information than any other fitness tracker..notifications and you can even read them...that's important I believe in a day and age of constant communication.
Thanks for reply. I like to have a graph of HR throughout my workout so I can know what is most effective. For example, when I jog, to know HR during interval training and running and walking. Does it atleast measure all through during workouts?
Afey Mohamed I bought one and it's amazing
+Afey Mohamed The gear fit 3 will launch this year and will be somewhat the best fit watch of 2018 thanks for asking! THANKS FOR ASKING SUBSCRIBE TO MY CHANNEL “JIRAH MENS”
can you download apps for it from the stock Android play store?
+Noah Fletcher no..
Ok thanks
will this support for android jelly bean 4.4
Ok i am contemplating fitbit or this...ple reply.....i ama
samsung girl so i am really confused which one should i buy...help please
+wave9181 fitbit is good only if you are concerned about health data ... In this, you get notifications and messages and emails that you can read
can we attend the call on it
Nice video, I like that Indian accent :)
Com'on don't be so rude, this world is rude enough.
Amen Brother !

+smart tab all android smart phones
Can you turn off the Bluetooth?

+Sixto Rivas yepp
Price
is it compatible with ios now.... recently i came to know samsung launch fit2 app for ios... is it true
+Deepan Mandal it's true. But the existing devices are not yet compatible. It's just an announcement
Does this display third-party apps?
Some...
mobiscrub would it work with dexcom? You probably wouldn't know 😕
If we set an alarm in the watch then how will we hear it as the gear fit 2 doesn't have any speakers?
+Anurag Gupta you set an alarm...it rings on the phone and vibrates on your gear fit
Does the gear fit really vibrate? I've heard in another review that it doesn't have vibration alarm.
should i keep it connected overnight as well?
+Kenny Lee connected to what? The more you wear it and the more you keep it connected to your phone, the more data it gathers
thank you for the reply, and to clarify my question i meant to say "connected to my phone or should i just leave it disconnected before i sleep? "
Can we use this watch with iphone 5s and can we see images in it and can we zoom them plz answer this question
Unfortunately i was at bestbuy and i love the look of this watch and i ask the same question would this work with a sony phone and i was told no it would not it will only work with samsung phones which samsung not sure but only samsung. :-(
1. Yes you can use it with an iPhone with iOS 9.0 and up
2. No, is not possible to see images on band
ok new info apparently the sales person might have been wrong at best buy to get the watch to pair with your device you need to download the app samsung gear and pair it thru the app.
That's correct, iPhone compatibility is recently. I have one iPhone 6 with a Gear Fit 2 band
On this link you have all the compatible devices, including a few Sony Phones. On the bottom of the page the restrictions too.

This is a really great review. The Samsung Gear Fit2 is awesome! We are making a video compilation from user reviews of this watch and wondered if we could include yours in it? We can attribute your channel in the credits and maybe give you premium access to The Sauce app for a month as a thank you. Let us know if you are interested to contribute.
