Fit for 2018!
Fitness goals made easy, with this stylish smart watch from Samsung.
Waiting for January 1 to start workout routine or weight loss programmes is passe. To look dashing at that New Year’s Eve party, we need to get in shape and if the gym or swimming pool is too much of a bother, Samsung’s latest wearable smartwatch, the Gear Sport, is stylish and gives you all the numbers that matter!
It tracks your activity, sleep and exercise, three key parametres for health and lifestyle. Additionally, the device offers water resistance and swim pattern tracking and is synced to the swimming tracking app called Speedo On that measures lap time, lap count, stroke type and more. Heart rate monitoring is more accurate and faster than previous Gear variants and Samsung’s in-built algorithms ensure that your daily activities are auto-detected and tracked accordingly.
With the Gear Sport, Samsung takes smart watches to a level that goes beyond fitness. Besides the regular options of choosing watch faces and personalising it accordingly, substantial Indian R&D has gone into it — the cricket mode on the Samsung Gear Sport records your bowling behaviour and tracks calories burnt. Also included are sports like badminton and tennis.
Design-wise, the Gear sports is snazzy and sleek, with the rotating bezel, the most impressive element. The device is responsive and syncs up effectively with your existing smartphone via the Gear app. Watch straps and faces can be changed depending on your taste. At Rs 22,990 it is a stylish and functional device which can double as watch and real-time fitness monitor.
