GEAR FIT 2 SLEEP MONITOR SOFTWARE

Most wearables I’ve compared to the Apple Watch in the past return very similar numbers overall, suggesting the Fit 2’s software may need refining.

In terms of accuracy, I compared the Fit 2 with the Apple Watch Series 6 over a couple of days, and found the heart rate monitor was consistent with the Apple Watch’s results, but the calorie burn and step count was usually under the Apple Watch’s estimate, potentially skewing overall results. There are masses of workout tracking plans, which means almost whatever your activity of choice is, the Galaxy Fit 2 will have it covered. It is slightly unusual that it isn’t possible to quickly get an instant heart rate reading, although the last reading taken remains on some of the watch faces. It’s nowhere near as pretty or intuitive as Google Fit, for example, and isn’t as feature-packed either. While Health is informative - it provides current and historical data, and you can add further metrics like food intake and data from other health devices - it’s not very attractive, or always logical to navigate. I’ve been using them on a Samsung Galaxy Fold.

The Fit 2 also monitors stress levels, but says the feature is for wellness rather than medical use, and I found it put me on the higher end of the scale far more often than other wearables I’ve used recently, including the Honor Watch ES and the Oppo Watch.īoth Samsung’s Galaxy Wear and Samsung’s Health app are required to sync the Galaxy Fit 2 with your phone, and are compatible with both Android and iOS. However, this is not automatic like the Apple Watch’s feature, and instead just suggests you should wash your hands after a set interval. There are reminders to get up and move around, and a reminder to wash your hands too.

Swipe to the left on the screen and you get shown steps, heart rate, distance, and sleep data.

The Galaxy Fit 2 can be worn in the pool to track swims, where it counts strokes and measures distance, plus returns swim efficiency SWOLF data after you’ve finished. I had to add yoga and stationary biking, for example.

A small selection of workouts to track are preloaded on the Fit, but more can be added in if the basic options aren’t enough. Instead, the Galaxy Fit 2 watches over your workouts, tracks steps, and monitors your sleep if you wear it overnight. If you want GPS for accurate run tracking, there are plenty of alternatives available.

The altimeter is the only sensor that’s really missed, as ECG and blood oxygen readings are highly specialized. Activity trackingĬontinuing on the simple theme, the Galaxy Fit has a heart rate sensor, an accelerometer, and a gyroscope, but no ability to measure blood oxygen, take an ECG, link up with GPS, or even add elevation data using an altimeter. The design, the screen’s appeal, and the software make the Galaxy Fit easy to live with once you’ve stopped swearing at the stupid band. I didn’t experience any problems using it. The operating system is responsive and logically laid out, and you use swipes and taps to navigate through the options. It’s quite easy to miss the button at first, as the thin outline giving you a hint about where to press disappears in many lighting conditions. It’s controlled using the touchscreen and a touch-sensitive button under it. Otherwise, it’s secure and doesn’t get sweaty. I often wear the band loosely when the heart rate sensor’s accuracy isn’t so important, then tighten it up when tracking exercise, and the Fit 2’s strap made this usually simple procedure rather infuriating. Samsung has made the whole affair more complicated than it needs to be, and it’s quite hard to find, and repeat, exactly the right fit. Andy Boxall/Digital TrendsĬhoose the red band like my review sample and it makes a seriously sporty statement, and while the band is comfortable once it’s on, the clasp is very annoying. The use of a color screen makes the Galaxy Fit 2 far more attractive, and more interesting to look at, than the boring monochrome LCDs found on simple Fitbits. I could easily leave it on the midlevel setting without sacrificing daylight viewing, meaning it has less of an impact on battery life. The first surprise is just how bright the 1.1-inch color AMOLED screen is. The Galaxy Fit 2’s simplicity starts with the design, but it holds both good and bad surprises. I’ve been wearing it for more than a week now, and I did almost forget it on my wrist, which is a good thing. This $60 fitness tracker covers all the basics, and backs it up with a quoted 15 days of battery life, putting it firmly in the wear-and-forget category.
