For some wearables
This is the section when I have the chance to deliver the biggest blows. Thankfully
I don't have many for the Samsung Gear Fit 2
The product is well-realized and does a good job at facilitating your journey
Whether it be at the gym
Short battery life. The accuracy of the heart-rate sensor fluctuates during workouts. You can't wear in the shower or while swimming. No iPhone support. Samsung's S Health app can be confusing
Samsung's originally Gear Fit felt like a half-baked, half-finished device, but the Gear Fit 2 corrects nearly all of the faults of its predecessor. Stronger battery life would be nice, but that's a necessary trade-off to get a device that handles fitness...
Band still isn't very attractive, Display not visible in sunlight, Android only
More times than not, the Verge score is based on the average of the subscores below. However, since this is a non-weighted average, we reserve the right to tweak the overall score if we feel it doesn't reflect our overall assessment and price of the produ...

Standalone music player, GPS, Vibrant and responsive screen, Good price/feature balance, Bluetooth audio connectivity, Available in two sizes
Auto-activity type tracking not always reliable, Relatively small app store, Limited ability to reply to text messages
From a fitness perspective, the Gear Fit2 has a lot to offer. The fact that the device can act as a standalone music player is an attractive feature since it lets you leave your smartphone at home. The Gear Fit2 also has the top fitness-minded features li...
Easy to wear. able (ha), Screen is well sized and easy to use, 4GB onboard storage for local music files, Can play music to Bluetooth headsets, Plenty of tools to track more than just workouts, Automatic tracking of activity and sleep
Battery life largely varies depending on usage, Lack of apps in Tizen ecosystem, Heart rate tracking inaccurate during more intense workouts, Heart rate monitoring off for all but cardio activities, Replying to notifications is severely limited, No alarm
The Samsung Gear Fit 2 is a proper evolution of Samsung's fitness tracker - and, in conjunction, their S Health tracking system. However, it doesn't do enough to replace more focused trackers that fitness enthusiasts may already wear...

Abstract: The Gear Fit 2 is Samsung's second fitness-focused watch, and one it hopes will emerge from the shadows and give the likes of Fitbit and Garmin a run for their money. The updated model adds GPS tracking and built-in music storage to its already impressive...

Really comfortable, Smart, intuitive interface, Accurate activity tracking, Charges easily on magnetic dock, Internal storage for local music playback

I didn't think I would ever end up saying this about a Samsung Gear Fit device, but the Gear Fit 2 seems like a no-brainer recommendation for anyone looking for their first fitness tracker or as an upgrade over an older Fitbit or Jawbone or Misfit. It p...

Abstract: We were wolfing down lunch in a dank Austin chili parlor, and I flicked my wrist. The time flashed, blue and bright on the OLED screen, and my friends eyes darted to the wearable. “What is that,” she asked—her interest piqued—her need for some perfect bl...
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 incredibl

At this point in time, for $180, I would have to recommend the Samsung Gear Fit2 over any other fitness tracker on the market. The value offered by Samsung's latest here, in addition to the design and feature set, is unmatched by other products. It's n...
