Whether used as a standalone or companion device, the Gear series puts users in charge of their personal and active lives, and provides users the option to stay connected so they never miss a moment.<\/p>\n

Power up with Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo<\/b><\/p>\n

The Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo are essential companion devices, which act as an extension of a consumer\u2019s daily life, offering them more control.<\/p>\n

Both devices allow users to make and receive calls, and receive and reply messages. Users can even customise reply messages using S Voice. Email and other notifications can be viewed on the SUPER AMOLED screen so users can always be in touch, anytime and anywhere.<\/p>\n

Staying fit has never been easier with the Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo, which offer personal fitness coaching in real time, and a built-in Heart Rate Sensor1<\/sup> allows users to develop a customisable fitness routine in order to improve their overall well-being.\u00a0The addition of a Standalone Music Player with 4GB2<\/sup> internal memory means users can leave their smartphones at home while still being able to enjoy their favourite tunes.<\/p>\n

Certified for qualified protection from water and dust (IP673<\/sup>), the Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo remain the best companion even if it rains during a run or during an active day at the beach.

For users who enjoy capturing the perfect moment on the go, Gear 2 comes with a 2.0MP camera to complete your outdoor experience.<\/p>\n

Even at home, the Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo are the best companions that let users easily control their TV and set-top box via WatchON\u2122 with the embedded IrLED sensor. Users no longer need to search for the remote control to switch on the TV, switch channels or adjust the volume.<\/p>\n

Consumers are also able to express their mood or coordinate their outfit with modern and sophisticated colour options for Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo. Gear 2 features a premium metallic finish and a polished exterior that encloses a 2.0 MP camera while Gear 2 Neo is designed for greater mobility. The home screen background, clock face and font are customisable to reflect personal taste and users can also change straps to match their style for the day. A homescreen button has also been added to both devices on the bezel to allow users to easily return to the home menu.<\/p>\n

The Samsung Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo let users connect to a wide variety of Samsung GALAXY devices4<\/sup> and access an enriched content ecosystem as the first wearable powered by Tizen.<\/p>\n

Stay Active with Gear Fit<\/b><\/p>\n

The Samsung Gear Fit was designed to comfortably contour to consumers\u2019 wrists while offering a vivid SUPER AMOLED display. It keeps consumers up to date with instant notifications from GALAXY devices such as incoming calls, emails, SMSes, alarm, S planner, third party apps, so that consumers can stay connected while on the move.<\/p>\n

The sleek and lightweight Gear Fit comes with real time Fitness Coaching that provides workout recommendations. Whether it is to set goals like calorie intake, distance and time, or to manage workout performance, Gear Fit is the new ideal fitness companion. By syncing to S Health1 <\/sup>via Gear Fit Manager, users can manage their exercise records on the GALAXY S5 LTE. Gear Fit offers quick access to the Pedometer and various Exercise modes with a double press of the power button. Its built-in Heart Rate Sensor1<\/sup> further optimises workout routines to help users achieve their fitness goals.<\/p>\n

A true fitness companion, Gear Fit is certified IP673<\/sup> Water and Dust Resistant allowing users to take it on adventures. Users can also check the weather before heading outdoors using the Weather Clock.<\/p>\n
