There's no shortage of cheap trackers at this price, so can Samsung's do enough to stand out from the crowd? With the Fit 2, you're getting the main tracking module, which hosts the touchscreen display that's wrapped up in a flexible silicone strap with a watch-style buckle.
You can pop that module out from the strap, but when it's in place it certainly does not budge. That strap comes in your pick of scarlet as pictured or black, offering something that gives it an undeniably sporty look. As a package, it's safe for showering and swimming with a water-resistant rating that makes it safe to be submerged in depths to 50 metres.
There's no physical buttons here, so you're getting a streamlined look - further enhanced by the fact the device measures just That's also slimmer than the Fitbit Inspire 2 and it's certainly a pleasingly light and comfortable band to wear all day, both during exercise and when it's time to get into bed.
All of your interacting time with the Fit 2 is managed via the touchscreen display and a discreetly hidden capacitive button. That capacitive button can be tapped to wake the display and will return you to the main home screen when you're swiping through the other screens. Above that button is a 1. It's a nicely responsive screen, offers strong maximum brightness, vibrant colours, and good visibility both indoors and outdoors. It's a good quality screen to find on a tracker at this price.
It's not an always-on display, though, so you'll need to tap on that capacitive button to wake it up or use the raise-to-wake gesture support, which thankfully is nicely responsive. Around the back of the tracker is where you'll find the optical heart rate sensor and it's where you'll clip on the proprietary charging cradle. Thankfully, you don't need to pull the main unit out of the strap to charge.
While we don't love the fact it's a proprietary kind of cradle, it's one that does securely clip onto the back of the top half of the tracker and does stay put. Despite its slim stature, the Fit 2 does still manage to fit in a decent array of features.
You're not going to get Galaxy Watch levels of features here, but there's enough to make it useful inside and outside of tracking your fitness. There's accelerometer and gyro motion sensors to track daily step counts and enable sleep monitoring. There's dedicated sports modes for walking, running, cycling, pool swimming - along with a generic workout mode to cover everything else that involves getting the heart pumping.
There isn't onboard GPS tracking or even the ability to connect to the GPS on your phone, though, leaving you with accelerometer based tracking for outdoor activities. You can make use of Samsung's automatic exercise recognition software, which works for all five workout modes and saves you going through the process of manually tracking activities, but non-GPS tracking is nowhere nearly accurate enough for most sports - especially cycling.
Good Night mode is useful to keep the watch from brightening every time you move your arm at night. Samsung, this should be an easy fix. Dear user, we are sorry for the inconvenience. We will pass on your concerns to the development team. Thank you. After the iOS15 update, my Galaxy Fit no longer functions. Even when it does manage to stay connected for a few hours without restarting itself, the battery no longer holds a charge for a full day. I have updated the software on the Fit, uninstalled and reinstalled the app while restarting my phone in between.
