You've decided to finally get your health back on track and exercise! You want some sort of fitness tracker, but you see there are two options: smartwatches and smart fitness bands. What's the difference? Well, students, the answer is that a Gear Sport is a smartwatch and Gear Fit is a fitness band. Eager to learn more? We thought so.
Gear Sport: A Fitness-Focused Smartwatch
Pop quiz! What do your smartphone and smartwatch have in common? The answer is apps! As a smartwatch, the Gear Sport can download all your favorite apps. The Gear can also control your smart home and act as a remote control. Now, that's an intelligent watch.
What other differences are there, you ask? For one thing, the Gear Sport has a round shape, and it is much bigger than a fitness band. It also has a bezel that rotates to help you navigate through the interface. Are you picky when it comes to your outfit or uniform? Don't fret, because the Gear Sport lets you accessorize and color coordinate by swapping out the watch straps.
Gear Fit: An A+ Fitness Band
Although they are pretty smart too, fitness bands like the Gear Fit are centered around, you guessed it, fitness! The Gear Fit has a smaller touch screen display with no bezel. It's much lighter and thinner than a smartwatch. To boot, the Gear Fit has the same exercise widgets as a smartwatch, such as heart rate, calorie intake, and music. Plus, you can still use reminders to help you stay on track of fitness or other things in your daily life (like homework).
Let's have another pop quiz. The main tech difference between the Gear Fit and the Gear Sport starts with an "a." Correct again, it's apps. Gear Fit gives you everything you need to stay fit, just minus the apps. With the Gear Fit, you may not be able to survive a day without your must-have apps like games or social media, so don't forget your phone (unless the teacher prohibits them, of course). However, the Gear Fit is fundamental if you want to stay healthy, fit, and active.
Who's ready for gym class? Whatever you choose to adorn your wrist, you will be able to stay on top of all of your fitness needs - apps or no apps.
