Re/code reports that “today, alongside the Galaxy S5, Samsung debuted the Gear Fit. Its primary purpose is to be a fitness tracker, though it can also display notifications from your phone, including new messages and incoming calls. But it lacks a built-in microphone, so you won’t be able to talk to your callers through the Gear Fit. Instead, you can tap the band’s 1.84-inch Super AMOLED touchscreen to reject a call or accept it and then use your smartphone or Bluetooth headset to have a conversation. There’s also no camera anywhere on the device.”
“What it does have is all of the fitness features of the Gear 2, including a pedometer and heart-rate sensor. Other stock functions include a sleep tracker, stopwatch, timer and a remote control for your smartphone’s media player. But there are no third-party apps available.”
“The Gear Fit isn’t running on the Tizen platform or Google’s Android operating system. Instead, it uses a real-time operating system, similar to something you’d find on a feature phone. The wristband is compatible with many of the Samsung Galaxy models, but not with other Android devices or the iPhone.”
