the samsung galaxy fit 2 has just been released and it could possibly
be the best value fitness tracker on the market stay tuned for the detailed review
hello everyone welcome back to tech it easy so today we've got our hands on the brand new
samsung galaxy fit 2 for review this is samsung's latest fitness tracker equipped
with all the basics you need to keep track of your health so let's take a deep dive
into the features of the brand new galaxy fit 2. we will of course kick things off with a quick
unboxing as usual but before we do that if you could help me out and subscribe to the channel
still 99% of my viewers are unsubscribed to the channel so if you are new here please hit
that subscribe button now also if you do enjoy the video please do leave a like and a comment
anyway so let's get on with the unboxing so this is how the galaxy fit 2 will be presented to you
you get the choice between a black and a red version this of course is the red version price
wise it will set you back roughly 50 pounds which i think is around 60 dollars which happens to be
significantly cheaper than the original galaxy fit which is still going for around 90 pounds now
so inside the box you don't really get much you just get the tracker itself and then of course a
usb charger but there is no wall socket for this then of course you get your warranty booklet and
the instructions manual first impressions it definitely does feel budget there's some very
cheap feeling plastic which i guess is to be expected on something at this price point but
the functionality and features they feel like something that would be much much more expensive
and i was pleasantly surprised considering its size and price point so before we talk about
the galaxy fit 2's features and what it can do i want to clear up any confusion first and talk
about what the galaxy fit can't do and distinguish some of the less obvious differences between this
a fitness tracker and a smartwatch so of course you won't be able to get some of the same apps
available on the galaxy watch nor will you have the same amount of power available
inside which again is to be expected but i guess the question most of you want to know is can
you make and receive calls on this device and the answer is unfortunately no there is no microphone
and speakers on this fitness tracker so you won't be able to make and receive calls however you can
receive call notifications and text message notifications so long as you're close to your
phone you won't be able to reply to them unless you use a pre-scripted text message so it does
have quick replies available anyway let's make a move on to the features of the new galaxy fit 2.
so the screen is a tiny 1.1 inch full color amoled touch display with something samsung
called 3d glass which apparently helps you to see important information at a quick glance perfect
for when you're running and on the subject of the display i will say that the display really isn't
that bright so you're going to really struggle seeing things in direct sunlight which of course
isn't a problem in the uk probably one of the most important features to talk about is the galaxy fit
2 battery life which boasts a huge 15 days of battery life with normal usage and up to 21 days
with some of the features turned off and i can say i really do believe this as after a full day
of using it with the brightness turned up to max and the screen timeout set to five minutes i only
lost about five percent of battery which makes them a far superior choice for fitness tracking
over say a smartwatch speaking of smartwatches and fitness tracking i did do a little test to see how
consistent the heart rate monitor is compared to flagship smartwatches over seven times the price
and i have to say i'm really impressed the galaxy fit 2 heart rate monitor seems to be consistent
with the apple watch series 6 and the galaxy watch obviously heart rates go up and down so it did
leave a little bit of space for margin forever if you are undecided on what to strap to your wrist
you can check out my review on the apple watch series 6 in the top right corner now or wait until
the end of the video you'll also find a review on the galaxy watch if that's more your style
since we briefly mentioned the apple watch series 6 it is worth mentioning that the galaxy fit 2
does work with ios and android so if you do want to use this with your app or iphone then you'll
still have full use of all the features so moving on to a few more features the galaxy fit 2 is in
fact 5 atm water resistant meaning you can take it swimming with you up to a depth of 50 meters
as well as this it has various different tracking and monitoring capabilities including
sleep tracking and stress management because of the longer battery life on the galaxy fit 2 you
may be able to track your sleep better and more consistently than if you were using a smart watch
which is an excellent feature to have and possibly a reason to buy both just like the galaxy watch
the samsung fit 2 will automatically detect workouts such as walking running rowing and more
this again i tested whilst wearing the galaxy watch and they both detected the workout more
or less at the same time and they both had very similar step counts lastly you do have the option
to customize the fit too a bit granted not quite as much as you can with the galaxy watch but you
do have a choice of over 70 different watch faces which you can change through the galaxy wearable
app you'll also be able to change the layout of the widgets when swiping left or right from the
watch face and add things in such as the music player and various different tracking shortcuts
the galaxy wearable app will very much be your hub for all your settings for this device it's
what you will actually use to set up the device as well and whilst on that subject i've actually
seen a few people asking online already about how to turn the watch on and if you haven't read the
instructions i can actually see why that's a bit confusing because there isn't actually a power
button on this watch so all you have to do to turn the fit 2 on and start setting it up pop it on its
charger and then simply remove it again and it'll just burst into life so now we've taken a look
at the galaxy fit 2 and its main features what do we think either one i'm extremely impressed
with what it can do and if you were on the edge of spending hundreds of pounds on a smartwatch
this would be a cheaper way of trying it out first most people won't even see the need to buy a
smart watch as this has most of the same tracking features minus advanced things like blood pressure
and blood oxygen monitoring which i guess isn't as important to most people that being said there
is also an argument to be made as to why you might want to buy a galaxy fit 2 and a smart watch with
over 2 weeks of battery life it makes the galaxy fit 2 better for more frequent uninterrupted
health tracking a common complaint made about smartwatches and one that i've mentioned in both
my reviews now is that there's just no right time to charge them you might want to be tracking steps
and calories throughout the day but also want to be making use of that sleep tracking which means
at some point you have to wait for your smart watch to charge so it may be worth buying one of
these to fill in those gaps and one feature that makes this all a lot easier and one that i didn't
mention is that it can actually sync your tracking from your fit too with your galaxy watch as well
so everything will stay up to date and in sync with all that in mind i think the samsung galaxy
fit 2 is an exceptional piece of werewolf tech and it certainly deserves a spot in your
collection i truly believe it is one of the best value for money fitness trackers on the market
