Samsung Gear Fit2 has all trimmings of a fitness tracker and smartwatch in one powerful, comfortable wearable.
Samsung Gear Fit 2 Full Specifications
The curved screen and beautiful AMOLED display is appealing to look at and feels comfortable on the wrist. And I really like the price. The Fit 2 is available now for $179/AU$289 (about £125), significantly less than the comparable Microsoft Band 2, Garmin Vivosmart HR+ and Fitbit Surge.
