A few days ago we found out that the rumors (well at least some of them) were true after all: Samsung has introduced a new fitness band, the Gear Fit2 GPS Sports Band and it is now available in selected markets, including the US, Canda, and Australia. This wearable is really meant for tracking all your various fitness activities and showing you the progress you've made.

The Gear Fit2 has a i.5-inch Super AMOLED curved display and is powered by a dual core 1GHz AP. It has a 512MB RAM and a 4GB internal storage and its battery is at 200mAh.

It is compatible with Android smartphones that are running on Android 4.4 and above, so even if you're not a Samsung user, you still get to use this fitness band.

It automatically detects the type of activity you're doing and can monitor 15 different activities including walking, running, elliptical training, pilates, cycling, lunging, ets.
