Samsung Gear Sport review: Smartwatch featured water-resistant to 50m
Announced at IFA 2017 on 30 August 2017, the Gear Sport was showcased to the German crowd. Unfortunately, no information was divulged regarding its price or release date, but as soon as we receive more information, we’ll be sure to update this article.
The watch is water-resistant up to 50m, which means you can take it on swims without having to worry about it malfunctioning.
A heart-rate monitor can be found within the watch, helping you monitor your workouts and fitness. Through the Samsung Health app, you’ll be able to track your progress and count down the calories.
The watch will automatically detect movement and try to accurately monitor your progress. So, if you’re walking to your bicycle, then riding down the hill on the bike, it should, theoretically, pick up your activities without you having to manually tell it which one you’re doing. This is also aided by the built-in GPS chip, which will track your every move more precisely.
