Samsung Gear Fit: the cure for the common smart watch? (Hands-On)

2014-02-24
well we expected the galaxy s5 of a handed the galaxy gear to even and even the Galaxy gear 2 neo we didn't necessarily expect this time sorry galaxy fits a new small business focus wearable from Samsung let's check it out so the fit plays along with the galaxy s5 is also compatible with 20 additional Galaxy devices so it's not confined to the s5 but you can use it with the s5 as you can see a much much spelter take on the wearable concept than the the galaxy gear which I actually have on my wrist right now you can see the size difference there Samsung is claiming this to be the perfect first for the AMOLED display on a wearable as you can see the display itself is curved not just over anything this device is very very light it weighs 27 grams where you are this with the straps are and Samsung informed us the strap is also hypoallergenic so you're not going to get a weird skin reaction or look at this thing I mean you know whether you like the look of this or not is it's gonna be up to you but the appearance it's just worlds above I think anything else in Samsung's wearable line there of course it is a touchscreen you get all the same notification support as you do on the existing gear line but in a much much smaller package you know there is also around back as we saw in the new year's still heart rate sensor not quite sure if you can see that in there measures your measures your heart rate with and you come back around here see actually if you hop into the heart rate applications you have to be wearing the device for it to be for that sensor to be reading your your heart rate so hitting start won't do anything right now but zero that's green very very responsive here's some of the features obviously a very very fitness focused device but you know I can see these being used by people who are not necessarily it's I would wear this and I'm not necessarily you know a runner so and then you up in any case this is a quick look we'll get back to this no word on battery life no word on pricing at the moment but we will get back to this because I like it a lot and I really really want to snap one up for a review Michael Fisher with pocket now Adam Lane doing a camera work for us from New York at the unpacked event stay tuned for more
