#GEAR FIT 2 BATTERY INDICATOR PRO#

On the back of the device you have some latches where you take off your straps and a heart rate sensor. The bottom button takes you directly to the menu, where you can get into settings and launch apps not in your vertical – and swipeable – carousel. The top button acts like a back button, taking you to the previous menu or home screen. There are two buttons on the right side of the device. Swiping to the left will take you to the notifications pane, where you'll be able to see all your incoming alerts. You can add weather, coffee and water trackers by clicking a big old plus button at the end. There's enough space for eight screens, though it defaults to five. Swiping to the left will get you to your individual modes, from running to cycling to swimming. Our favourite was actually the default, which cleanly gives you a look at all the big metrics of the day, from heart rate to steps to calories. The main home screen can be customized with all sorts of faces, and you can download more via Galaxy Apps. You'll be swiping that screen side-to-side a lot to get through the various modes. The solution here is outdoor mode, which will boost the brightness up to 11 (seriously, that's the maximum setting), which lasts for five minutes before reverting back, so it doesn't suck too much battery power. For instance, taking it for a run in the afternoon was absolutely fine, with all the information perfectly digestible, but when I was out early in the morning it was a lot more difficult to see what the screen was showing me. However, it's variable when standing up to sunlight. It's bright and filled with colour as far as fitness trackers go, you won't find better. The heart of the experience is still that beautiful 1.5-inch, 216 x 432 Super AMOLED display. There are fewer colour options, with just black or black and red rather than the three alternatives with the Fit Pro.

The Fit2 already had a fairly slick design, and the Fit2 Pro ain't fixing what ain't broken.
