How Samsung Gear Fit 2 is Different from All Other Wearables

By: Nick Gambino

The next generation fitness band from Samsung may arrive sooner than you think. Rumor has it that we might get the Samsung Gear Fit 2 as early as next month.

Apparently the product is being overseen by Samsung Executive Vice President Injong Rhee, who is looking to make sure this new wearable fitness tracker is a big improvement over its 2014 predecessor. Injong also heads up Samsung Pay.

Last week images of the Gear Fit 2 along with the Gear IconX Bluetooth earbuds appeared on one of Samsung’s website’s, S Health but were quickly removed.

Throwing images of new products on your website and then quickly taking them down is a common marketing ploy and usually foreshadows an imminent release.

The Gear Fit 2 is rumored to have a higher resolution screen (Super AMOLED) than the Gear Fit which will be a nice improvement. The screen is said to be wider and more curved allowing for more features.

But the real gem here is the integrated GPS. If you’re one of those who runs for miles every day, then a GPS is almost a must unless you’re incredibly familiar with the area. Sure you can bring your phone while you run but some find that annoying. You might as well just put a brick in your pocket, it’ll feel about the same a mile into your run.

Also rumored to be included (and most definitely will be included) is Samsung’s new bio-processor announced last year. This new embedded chip would allow for tracking of health metrics beyond just tracking your heart rate. The bio-processor will measure skin temperature, body fat, skeletal muscle mass, etc., as well as work as an electrocardiogram.

Keep an eye out for the Samsung Gear Fit 2. There’s sure to be an announcement in the coming weeks.
