Samsung unveiled the Gear Fit 2 last week along with the activity tracking Gear Icon X earphones, and pre-orders for the GPS-equipped fitness band went live earlier this week. Now, Samsung has released a new video that demonstrates how to get started with the Gear Fit 2.
The Gear Fit 2, which comes with a wireless magnetic cradle for charging, can be paired with a smartphone using the Gear Manager app. The device can not only track casual activity like steps taken, and stairs climbed but also bicycle rides and runs since it comes equipped with GPS and a heart-rate monitor.
The activity and fitness data can be synced to the cloud using the S Health app, which can be used to keep up with friends' activities and to take step challenges. The smart fitness band can also show smartphone notifications and widgets on its 1.5-inch curved Super AMOLED display.
The Gear Fit 2 can also act as a standalone music player as it features 4GB of internal storage, which can be used to store music tracks. It competes with the likes of Garmin Vivosmart HR+ and Fitbit Blaze. Watch the video embedded below to see the Gear Fit 2 in action.
