  • The question is, should you care? In some respects, I'd argue you shouldn't. The watch's core apps and general all-round capabilities are so good that it's worth the asking price anyway, without the addition of third-party apps.The fitness side of things...

  • Offline Spotify support, Great design
  • Limited upgrade, Some strange straps
  • Samsung's Gear Sport does seem like a limited upgrade, but new features including support for Spotify offline and swim tracking means this could be a great new watch for very particular sport lovers...
