 Hey, Lauren Goodford of Verge here, and today we're taking a look at the new Samsung Gear Fit 2. This is the first update to the activity tracker since the original one was launched in 2014, and there are some new features with this one, so let's take a look. So the first thing you're going to notice about the Samsung Gear Fit 2 is that it's bigger than the first one. This is a 1.5-inch Super AMOLED display, and Samsung said it was designed that way so that you don't have to sort of twist your wrist around to see information. If you're looking at it like this, you get a full display of info. It's also a lot softer than the original Dan. That one was kind of stiff and inflexible. On the underside here, you have optical heart rate sensors, so it'll take your heart rate intermittently throughout the day, and also show your active heart rate when you are active. It is a touch-sensitive display, but you can't touch it to wake it. You have to use the physical buttons on the side here to wake it, and then you can swipe through. Swipe to the left, and you get more specific information, and you can add more to it apparently from there. One of the things that you can add to it is a Spotify app. It's really the only third-party app that will run on this, and that's for music control from your phone. One of the things that Samsung has added to the Samsung Gear Fit 2 is the ability for it to automatically recognize when you've started exercising. You basically don't have to go into any menu and hit start to start an exercise or stop it. You can just start running and cycling, and it's also great for sleep tracking, because it means you don't have to toggle into some type of sleep mode, and remember to do that before you go to bed. Another pretty notable addition to the Samsung Gear Fit 2 is that it does have GPS on board. So, runners will greatly appreciate that. Samsung says you should get about three to four days of battery life with this, and up to five in standby mode, which means it's just tracking steps and nothing else. Samsung says it's also as waterproof as its newer Samsung Galaxy phones. So, in terms of compatibility, what will the band work with? Well, it'll work with Android phones that are running Android 4.4 or later. Unfortunately, though, it won't work with iOS devices, so if you're an iPhone user, you're out of luck. It also won't sync the data to any type of desktop application. But you can use it as a standalone device if you don't have an Android phone. You'll just have to look at all the information on the fitness band itself. In terms of availability, Samsung says this will ship sometime early this summer. It will cost $179. Now, that is a little bit more expensive than some lightweight activity trackers that you could get. Not as expensive as a smartwatch, though, so kind of depends on what you're looking for.
