Samsung is all set to
unveil the Note 8 at the Unpacked Event on 23 August, but it won't be the only
device to mark its debut. A couple of other devices, the fitness tracker Gear
Fit2 Pro and a backwards-compatible GearVR headset will also be unveiled alongside
the Note 8.
Though the hype and
excitement related to wearable devices have gone down recently, it seems
Samsung isn't going to give it up easily. Samsung had launched
Gear Fit in 2014, and two years later, updated the line-up with Gear Fit2. The
Fit2 Pro will actually be the third in the series of fitness trackers from
Samsung, successor to the Gear Fit2. The latest fitness tracker from Samsung
will be a big update to the Tizen-powered Fit2, according to sources.

The South Korean company's new wearable device will have 5 ATM water resistance, which means that users can submerge
the device fully without the fear of damage and also enables swim tracking. The
Gear Fit2 had IP68 certification, which was waterproof only up to a certain
extent.

For extended rough usage
like rigorous workouts, the Fit2 Pro will have a watch-style clasp, ensuring a
more secure fit compared to Fit2 which only had a snap clasp.
Another addition is the
support for music playback – offline Spotify as well – which will give an extra
advantage to the Fit2 Pro over other fitness trackers. This device will also
have GPS function, like the Gear Fit2. The Fit2 Pro will sync with Speedo On
app.
It will be compatible
with Android as well as iOS devices, and includes one year subscription to
Under Armour’s premium digital services. Information about
detailed specs and price was not available.
