Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro review: It might just save your life - AFR Would you like to compare these findings with reviews of the latest Samsung Galaxy Fi...

The Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro review by John Davidson from The Australian Financial Review highlights a rubberized fitness band with smartwatch capabilities that performs well across both active and passive tracking modes. A major pro of the device is its reliable passive tracking mode, which successfully auto-detects daily physical activities like cycling without requiring manual user input. Furthermore, when shifted into active tracking mode, the device aggressively leverages its built-in GPS and continuous heart-rate monitoring to map routes, save specific pathways for performance measurement, and overlay heart rate charts directly against speed and elevation metrics within the Samsung Health app. AFR However, Davidson points out a significant discrepancy when it comes to the device's heavily promoted swimming-oriented capabilities. While the device functions seamlessly as a feature-rich, standalone tracker for dry-land fitness, the reviewer admits to being a very poor swimmer, which negatively complicated the testing process and left the aquatic performance less polished than the baseline tracking capabilities. This highlights a distinct contrast between the device's comprehensive, highly responsive automation on land and the more finicky, user-dependent experiences when taking...

Samsung Gear Fit 2 Pro - Trusted Reviews

The Samsung Gear Fit 2 Pro is recognized as a capable hybrid device featuring a high-quality 1.5-inch curved Super AMOLED display, built-in GPS, and 4GB storage for offline Spotify, according to reviews. Key advantages include 5 ATM water resistance for swimming and a responsive Tizen interface. However, the device is limited by mediocre 2-3 day battery life, which drops significantly with GPS usage, and a plastic construction that feels less premium, say reviewers. Additionally, it lacks a microphone for calls and offers limited functionality on iOS compared to Android.

Samsung Gear Fit 2 Pro Review Summary The Samsung Gear Fit 2 Pro is a swim-friendly fitness tracker that offers a gorgeous, vertically oriented curved Super AMOLED display and a traditional watch strap clasp, which fixes the clumsy latch mechanism of its predecessor. It retains built-in GPS for standalone tracking and doubles down on durability by adding MIL-STD-810G certification and 5ATM water resistance. One of its most notable premium features is offline Spotify support, allowing users to play music directly to wireless headphones without needing a phone nearby. However, the device falls short because it shares the exact same battery, processor, and overall design as the older model, meaning it doesn't offer a significant technical upgrade. Despite its strong screen and tracking capabilities, the wearable struggles heavily with real-world usability and value. A major con is the clumsy setup process, as users must navigate the frustrating Galaxy app store and pre-download mobile apps onto their phones just to get started. Furthermore, because it launched at a higher price ($199) while offering very few new features, it represents bad value compared...

Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro Fitness Tracker Review - Coach

The Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro is a fitness-focused smartwatch that offers competitive features at a lower price point than many of its rivals, making it an excellent option for Android and Samsung smartphone users. Its standout feature is its top-tier swim tracking, which includes automatic stroke recognition, accurate length counting, a SWOLF efficiency score, and a heart rate monitor that functions reliably underwater. It provides standalone GPS, onboard music storage with easy Bluetooth headphone pairing, and native integration with Spotify and Under Armour's suite of apps like MyFitnessPal. Additionally, the device accurately tracks daily activity metrics, displays comprehensive weekly summaries, and features an effective rep counter for individual bodyweight exercises. Despite its strong value, the device suffers from several notable performance drawbacks. The biggest issue is its poor battery life, which fails to last 24 hours on a single charge and drains by more than 50% during a one-hour GPS run. Runners and cyclists will find the native GPS frustrating because it cannot lock onto a satellite signal before an activity starts, causing inaccurate initial pace data. Furthermore, the live...

Samsung Gear Fit 2 Pro Review - PhoneArena

The Samsung Gear Fit 2 Pro is a highly capable fitness tracker that positions itself as an iterative upgrade over its predecessor, primarily targeting swimming enthusiasts with its upgraded water resistance rating and dedicated Speedo On app tracking. Priced at $200, the device retains the minimalist design and lightweight ergonomics of the previous model but introduces a vastly superior, traditional wristwatch-style clasping mechanism that prevents accidental drops. It features a responsive AMOLED touchscreen interface powered by Tizen OS, packed with basic smartphone connectivity features like text and call notifications—though answering calls is impractical due to the complete lack of a built-in microphone and speaker. A major highlight of the device is its Spotify integration, allowing users to download up to 500 songs directly onto the device's internal storage for offline Bluetooth listening during workouts. Reviewers highlighted several distinct advantages and disadvantages, ultimately awarding the device an 8.5 out of 10 score. The prominent pros include its understated yet stylish design, highly comfortable fit, significantly improved straps, and an easy-to-use interface featuring out-of-the-box swim tracking. On the downside, the fitness tracker...

Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro Review: Feature Packed - Tech Advisor

The Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro is a feature-packed, slim GPS fitness tracker that bridges the gap between basic activity trackers and high-end smartwatches. It stands out with a bright, crisp 1.5-inch curved Super AMOLED touchscreen, built-in GPS mapping, continuous heart rate monitoring, and 4GB of on-board storage that allows offline Spotify playlist playback directly to Bluetooth headphones. Additionally, it features automatic activity tracking, 50-meter water resistance backed by a "Water Lock Mode," and support for apps like Speedo On, Under Armour, and MyFitnessPal. However, it lacks an NFC chip for contactless payments, and its battery life drains rapidly when GPS tracking is active. While it functions well on both Android and iOS devices, the setup and overall software experience are noticeably smoother on Android, particularly when paired with a Samsung phone. Reviewers highlighted several major pros, including its lightweight 34g design, robust auto-detection for walks and runs, and highly vibrant screen. On the downside, the cons include a premium retail price tag ($199 / £209) that positions it awkwardly against cheaper GPS rivals and Samsung's own full-featured smartwatches. Furthermore, its...

Samsung Gear Fit 2 Pro review: a solid fitness wearable - T3

The Samsung Gear Fit 2 Pro is a solid but incremental fitness tracker that struggle to justify its "Pro" moniker over its predecessor, the standard Gear Fit 2. It retains the exact same design and vibrant OLED display as the previous model but introduces military-grade MIL-STD-810G durability and water resistance up to 4ATM, making it suitable for swimmers. Additionally, it expands its ecosystem with iOS compatibility, highly accurate GPS tracking, and a "water lock" feature within the Speedo On app to prevent accidental screen touches while swimming. Its key software highlight is the support for offline Spotify music playback using its 4G of onboard storage. However, the reviewer notes several downsides, highlighting that the "Pro" specifications add very little overall value for anyone who isn't an outdoor swimmer, especially since the device is more expensive than the nearly identical standard version. Users will also encounter a somewhat awkward out-of-the-box experience, as essential features like offline Spotify are not pre-installed and require manual downloads alongside companion apps. Furthermore, its battery life is limited to two to three days, which drops to...

The Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro is an excellent fitness tracker that builds upon its predecessor by introducing 5ATM water resistance up to 40 meters, making it completely swimproof and safe for the shower or heavy rain. Priced at £200, it features a vibrant, highly responsive 1.5-inch AMOLED touchscreen, built-in GPS, 4GB of internal music storage, and a dual-core processor that ensures smooth performance. It provides comprehensive daily tracking data—including heart rate monitoring, pedometer, and altimeter metrics—and supports offline Spotify Premium playback without requiring a smartphone nearby. Furthermore, its lightweight 33–34g design features an upgraded traditional buckle clasp that is much more secure than the older model. The primary pros of the tracker include its proper waterproofing, easy setup, and exceptionally bright touchscreen display. It stands out in its price bracket by offering advanced features typically reserved for more expensive smartwatches. However, a notable con is that users must download a flurry of separate companion apps (such as Samsung Gear and Health) and various plugins to get it fully running. Other minor drawbacks include a limited color selection (only black and...

Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro Review | Tested & Rated - TechGearLab

The Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro is a stylish, quasi-smartwatch fitness tracker that delivers highly accurate step counting (averaging a 0.54% discrepancy) and reliable distance tracking. It excels at versatile workout tracking and features excellent automatic exercise detection for activities like swimming and cycling. Ergonomically, the device is very comfortable for all-day wear due to its smooth silicone wristband and curved profile. It also boasts a vivid, customizable, and easy-to-read curved display equipped with a temporary "Outdoor" brightness mode. Users will find it highly functional as a budget-friendly smartwatch alternative, given its ability to handle offline music storage and diverse smart notifications. Despite its strengths, the tracker has notable drawbacks, most significantly a short battery life that typically demands nightly charging. During testing, the built-in heart rate monitor proved somewhat inaccurate, deviating by an average of 14.5 beats per minute compared to a standard chest strap. Its companion software setup is cumbersome, requiring users to navigate multiple apps to access health data and device settings. Furthermore, the device fails to track elevation changes or register stairs climbed, and its large screen...

Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro review - Stuff

The Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro is a hybrid wearable reviewed by Stuff, scoring a 4 out of 5 rating for its mix of smartwatch and fitness-tracking features. Its main standout feature is a stunning 1.5-inch curved Super AMOLED display (216×432 pixels) that provides sharp details, vibrant colors, and clear visibility for notifications. On the fitness side, the review praises its versatile tracking tools, which include quick-locking GPS, automatic workout pausing, and an advanced 5ATM water-resistant swimming mode equipped with the Speedo On app to count pool lengths. Additionally, its Tizen OS feels fast, and the 4GB of onboard storage allows for offline Spotify playlist playback via Bluetooth wireless headphones. However, the review highlights several specific downsides, noting that the device suffers from smartwatch-style battery life. While Samsung claims up to four days of use, activating the always-on display and notifications drops the real-world stamina closer to just two days—far shorter than sport-focused rivals like the Garmin Vivosport. The design is also criticized for being a bit chunky and techy-looking, making it appear somewhat "dorky" or gadget-like on smaller wrists. Finally,...

Samsung Gear Fit 2 Pro Review: Tracker Meets Smartwatch

The Samsung Gear Fit 2 Pro is a hybrid fitness tracker and smartwatch that stands out for its high-quality, sharp OLED display offering crisp colors and high contrasts, along with the ability to install expandable apps like a functional Spotify integration for offline music listening via Wi-Fi. It provides reliable everyday activity tracking, automatic workout recognition, and a water-resistance rating of up to 5 ATM, making it ideal for swimming with its pre-installed Speedo On app. Additionally, users can operate the device without cloud synchronizations, account creation, or external logins, though the comprehensive companion Samsung Health app effectively logs training and sleep details under Android systems. However, the device suffers from a short battery life of only two to three days due to its power-hungry screen, putting its longevity on par with regular smartwatches rather than long-lasting fitness bands. Software integration feels unpolished; the application store is cluttered and disorganized, a basic alarm app requires an account to download, and the sleep tracking system lacks a smart wakeup window and fails to engage an automatic "Do Not Disturb" mode.

The Samsung Gear Fit 2 Pro is a Tizen-powered hybrid fitness tracker and smartwatchthat features a distinct 2.5-centimeter curved AMOLED display and a redesigned, secure buckle strap for heavy sports use. A major standout feature highlighted in the review is its offline Spotify integration, allowing users to transfer entire music playlists from a smartphone directly onto the device's internal storage and listen on-the-go via wireless Bluetooth headphones without an internet connection or phone present.

Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro Review: For Swimmers Who Use Spotify

Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro Review Summary The fitness tracker offers several clear benefits, but it also comes with notable drawbacks. On the positive side, its vibrant display, simple gesture-based navigation, built-in GPS, and offline Spotify capabilities make it highly functional for independent outdoor and musical workouts. However, the review highlights significant accuracy issues, as step counting and heart rate monitoring were frequently imprecise, missing the mark by up to 20% and 40% respectively. Furthermore, its automatic activity recognition remains imperfect, battery life drops sharply to just 9 hours with active GPS tracking, and a confusing contradiction exists between Samsung's swimming marketing and its actual warranty terms regarding 5 ATM liquid damage protection.

Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro Review: For Swimming Spotify Users

The Samsung Gear Fit 2 Pro is a versatile fitness tracker featuring a curved 1.5-inch OLED touchscreen that provides personalized watch faces and standalone connectivity through integrated Wi-Fi, GPS, and GLONASS. A primary upgrade from its predecessor is its 5 ATM water resistance, making it suitable for swimming in both pools and saltwater, complete with a dedicated Speedo app to automatically track laps, strokes, and times. It excels in automatic activity recognition for exercises like running and cycling, incorporates continuous heart-rate tracking, and supports offline Spotify playlists. Powered by a dual-core processor and 512 MB of RAM, the system delivers a smooth and responsive user experience. Despite these strengths, the device has notable drawbacks, particularly regarding user convenience and visibility. The curved display is difficult to read in bright outdoor conditions because it lacks an automatic ambient brightness sensor, forcing users to adjust it manually.

The Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro is a minor yet focused update to its predecessor, distinguished primarily by its upgraded water resistance of up to 5 ATM, making it highly suitable for swimmers. Developed in partnership with Speedo, the tracker includes a pre-installed Speedo app designed to record lap times and swimming strokes, though testing revealed that it occasionally misses laps and struggles to differentiate between distinct swimming strokes like front crawl and butterfly. The device retains its standout 1.5-inch curved Super AMOLED display, which offers exceptional contrast and excellent readability even in direct sunlight, and runs smoothly on Tizen 3.0 software. It is equipped with a 1 GHz dual-core processor, 4 GB of internal storage supporting offline Spotify playback, a built-in GPS chip, and a 200 mAh battery that yields a standard two-day runtime.

The Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro review from 01net.com highlights this device as an athletic, feature-packed fitness band that offers a solid value proposition for €229. It is highly praised for its stunning 1.5-inch curved Super AMOLED touchscreen display and built-in cardio and GPS tracking, which accurately monitor geographical positions and heart rates during exercise. A major standout feature is its 50-meter water resistance and dedicated swim tracking, coupled with the unique ability to download and stream Spotify playlists offline directly to Bluetooth headphones from its 4GB storage pool. However, the reviewer points out several notable drawbacks that keep the wearable from being perfect. The exterior suffers from a cheap plastic design, and setting up the device is criticized for being overly complex. Functionally, it offers very limited third-party application support and an unremarkable battery life powered by a modest 200 mAh capacity. Furthermore, fitness enthusiasts may find the heart rate sensor less accurate compared to rival tracking products on the market, though the device remains a highly competitive hybrid overall.

Samsung Gear Fit 2 Pro review: when a fitness tracker can replace a smartwatch

The Journal du Geek review rates the Samsung Gear Fit 2 Pro an 8 out of 10, highlighting it as one of the year's best sports bands that successfully bridges the gap between fitness trackers and smartwatches. The reviewer strongly praises its design, specifically the gorgeous 1.5-inch curved Super AMOLED display which remains vibrant in direct sunlight, and the highly comfortable 34-gram build. Key hardware upgrades from its predecessor include 5 ATM water resistance (supporting depths up to 40 meters) paired with a pre-installed Speedo swimming app, and a much more secure traditional buckle strap that prevents the band from coming undone during intense workouts.

The Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro is a sports-focused activity tracker featuring a vibrant 1.5-inch vertical Super AMOLED curved display, an integrated GPS, and 4GB of storage (with 2GB available). A standout feature is its native Spotify integration, allowing premium users to download playlists via Wi-Fi for offline playback through Bluetooth headphones without needing a smartphone. For athletes, the device offers functional swim-tracking with lap counting via the Speedo ON app and measures heart rate directly underwater. However, the Tizen-based software ecosystem is highly restrictive, offering fewer than ten truly useful third-party applications amidst a storefront cluttered with poorly designed watch faces. The tracker delivers mixed performance, balancing great outdoor screen visibility against frustrating software and hardware limitations. On the positive side, it boasts excellent build quality, intuitive gesture navigation, a traditional secure wrist strap, and compatibility with both iOS and Android.

On the hardware side, it retains the 1.5-inch Super AMOLED curved display (216 x 432 pixels), an Exynos chipset with 512 MB of RAM, 4 GB of internal storage, and a 200 mAh battery that struggles to last up to three days due to continuous heart-rate monitoring. The most notable physical upgrade is a new buckle clasp system that ensures the band stays securely attached during intense movement. Major pros highlighted in the review include its rugged MIL-STD 810G military-grade certification allowing water resistance up to 50 meters with no immersion time limit, automatic tracking for sports like swimming (via a Speedo partnership), and a highly lightweight, comfortable design that makes it easy to forget you are wearing it.

Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro Review: Our Full Verdict

The Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro is a sport-focused activity tracker that stands out with its premium build, solid wrist attachment, and a highly responsive, curved 1.5-inch OLED display that remains perfectly legible even in direct sunlight. Paired with the highly detailed Samsung Health ecosystem, it serves as an excellent, motivational fitness coach capable of tracking steps, sleep, swimming, and heart rate. On the downside, the device suffers from mediocre battery life, barely lasting two days on a charge, and relies on a slow, proprietary charging dock. The review notes severe software and interface drawbacks, starting with a tedious configuration that forces users to install three separate apps. It criticizes the companion app store as chaotic and describes the local music player management as incredibly fastidious, requiring multiple menu navigation steps just to change tracks. Furthermore, despite its integrated GPS and water resistance, the band lacks modern smart features like a built-in microphone for voice replies, giving it a somewhat incomplete feel for its €229 price point.

Samsung Gear Sport and Gear Fit2 Pro review: Better but not great

The Samsung Gear Sport is a well-designed smartwatch that integrates seamlessly with both Android and iOS, performing exceptionally well for everyday smartwatch tasks due to its snappy Tizen operating system and modern hardware. However, it falls significantly short for its intended athletic audience, offering far fewer metrics than specialized competitors like Garmin or Polar. Reviewers found major downsides in its performance as a dedicated training tool, specifically highlighting inaccurate GPS tracking, flawed calorie calculations, and insufficient data depth during and after workouts. The Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro is an incredibly lightweight, sleek, and user-friendly fitness tracker that also doubles efficiently as a basic smartwatch with robust automatic activity recognition. On the downside, it cannot support additional third-party applications, and its underlying fitness tracking ecosystem is less developed than what Fitbit offers. Furthermore, it is deemed entirely unsuitable for serious runners or cyclists due to a highly inaccurate GPS and unreliable calorie expenditure estimates.
