Samsung Gear Fit2 Features

1. Design

The Gear Fit2 looks almost like Gear fit2 pro with very slight difference in weight and design. Its screen size is 1.5 inch which makes reading time and other contents on the screen easier while still maintaining a moderately sized screen size that’s not too bulky or rather too tiny.

The body has a great intuitive design built with a thermoplastic material and an interchangeable wrist strap which can be changed with a 20mm strap.

It weighs only 34 grams, really lightweight on any wrist, will be best convenient on a female wrist. Besides this, its display is powered by a super AMOLED display 16M colors capable of showing animated images.

2. Activity/Fitness tracking

As a fitness smartwatch you will expect a fitness tracker that tracks various activities, but the Gear Fit2 does even more with a whole list of fitness tracking features.

It can automatically track events such as sleep, steps, calories burnt, heart rate monitoring, set goals and so many other features.

Samsungs S-health app is at the center of the fitness tracking features, but Samsung introduced the UNDER ARMOUR RECORD which hosts a huge list of fitness tracking features that extends beyond WOD lists.

There is an in-built GPS sensor on the Gear Fit2 which can track routes you take, distance covered and your location.
