Guest PaulOBrien Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Every company and companies dog has a fitness band nowadays, so why should Samsung be any different? Introducing... the Samsung Gear Fit.The Samsung Gear Fit is a fitness band in the style of the Nike Fuelband (thin-ish on your wrist) but done in the inimitable Samsung style, i.e. with a whole load of extra tech.Packing the first colour AMOLED curved screen in a wearable (so we are told), the device of course hooks up to your Samsung Galaxy phone for notifications, sync etc., in particularly with the new, improved S-Health fitness tracking app. Like the S5 and Gear devices, the Fit includes a heart rate tracker on the back side of the device, which seemed to work pretty well in our hands-on. The changeable strap is hypo-allergenic, which is good news given the recent Fitbit Force debacle.All is not well with the Gear Fit however... watch our walkthrough below to find out exactly why! :) Click here to view the item Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest absro Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Hmm, I suppose I'll wait for Gear Fit 2, with a vertical display (or whatever - rotated with 90 degrees) and maybe with standard watch bands instead of their custom thingie :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest andybarker Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Sure they will rotate the display once people give them enough feedback. Actually looks like a good design for a smart watch, compared with the traditional style ones. I can see it being a really useful remote control for phones, tablets and also PCs.
