Samsung today officially announced three new wearables — Samsung Gear Sport, Gear Fit2 Pro, and Gear IconX. These three devices were designed to help consumers get the most out of their day, and help them live a healthier and well-balanced life.
Samsung Gear Sport
The Samsung Gear Sport can be said as the sporty Gear S3, but it’s more affordable. It sports a Super AMOLED 1.2-inch rounded display. Additionally, the watch also comes with an improved user interface that makes it easy to view information, even when on-the-go.
It also comes with a few Gear functions as below:
- Control of Samsung IoT-enabled devices through Samsung Connect
- Act as a remote control, whether for a PowerPoint presentation or Samsung Gear VR headset
- Pay with Samsung Pay
Besides, the Gear Sport is also 5 ATM certified for water resistance. It also comes with Speedo On, a swimming training app that tracks your key swim metrics including lap count, lap time, stroke type and more. Its heart rate monitor now also comes with improved accuracy.
The company also partners with Under Armour for you to access Under Armour’s fitness apps including Under Amour Record, MyFitnessPal, MapMyRun and Endomondo. Spotify’s Offline mode lets you listen to your favourite music online, offline or even without your smartphone so you can enjoy your favourite tunes regardless of location.
The Samsung Gear Sport will be available in Blue and Black.
