When Samsung released Gear One last year, it was more of watch which needs to be connected to a Samsung Android phone and serve as second mirror to few things which could be handled without using the phone. However, there is a certain category of smart watch users who are into sports and health and they would better want to have a tracker which is oriented towards them. 
This year Samsung came up with Gear Fit which looked very similar to tracking wearable’s like Fitbit Flex, Nike Fuel and so on. However Samsung excelled over here by making it a beautiful tracker which also works like a watch.
The first thing you have to above about this tracker is curved Super AMOLED touchscreen display and interchangeable bands which comes in three colours — Gray, Orange and Black. Right at the back of the FIT you will find the HRM or the hear rate monitor making it perfect for runners and swimmers who need to keep an eye on these stats.
When it comes to the straps the quality is at par. Even though its rubber kind of material but it definitely does not look cheap. They are almost like watch strap with quality hooks and design. You should be able to hook and unhook without much of hard work. Here is our hands on :
