Both devices are optimized for tracking the owner's activity, though they also come with features that allow them to work with smartphones of Samsung. However, the smartwatches Samsung also works with iPhones, although you won't be able to enjoy all of their features.
The Samsung Gear Sport is the model that looks more like a watch. It has a circular coating of 1,2-inch Super AMOLED with a resolution of 360 × 360 pixels and Gorilla Glass 3 protection.
The device is powered by a dual-core 1.0 GHz chip combined with 768MB RAM and 4GB storage. It works with a battery of 300 mAh and comes with the standard wireless charging system used on all Samsung mobile devices.
Gear Sport features a GPS sensor so it can monitor your workout without having a smartphone to provide mapping capabilities.
It also incorporates an accelerometer, a gyroscope, a barometer, a HR monitor, and a light sensor, and Bluetooth connectivity, Wi-Fi and NFC support for connectivity.
The device will be available in black and blue and has IP68 certification for diving up to 50 meters. It has the MIL_STD-810G calibration for shock-proof. No specific information on price and availability has been given, but it is expected that the device will be available soon.
Gear Fit 2 Pro it is obvious that it has a much more sporty look and features the standard Gear Fit design that brings it closer to an activity band than to a smartwatch.
Compared to the standard Gear Fit 2, the Pro model has improved durability water, since the device can withstand a depth of up to 50 meters. This makes it suitable for swimming, and Samsung has teamed up with Speedo to develop a swim tracking app that will come pre-installed on the device.
The remaining specifications remain unchanged: a Super AMOLED 1,5 inch display, a GPS sensor, and a 200 mAh battery that will easily reach you for one day unless you use GPS too much every day. Gear Fit 2 Pro will be released on 31 August by 199 dollars.
