Wearables

Anyone who’s tried working out knows that it’s easier said than done. It’s already hard enough to set aside ample time and reserve so much energy into staying fit, but it gets even harder when things are holding them back from giving it their best.

Any fitness animal knows the struggle is real when they need to switch songs through their smartphone just to get the right song that keeps them pumped up for their workout, all on top of having limited movement because of earphone cords that always get in the way. Not only that, but anyone who’s tried keeping track of their progress know that looking through their smartphone risk tripping, especially when running.

Luckily, Samsung, the leader in tech innovations, has created the perfect fitness companions. The all-new Gear Fit2 and Gear IconX were made not only to help reach their fitness goals, but to keep pushing for greater performance, too.

Recently, the smartphone has become an essential companion for fitness animals during their workout. It allows them to listen to music, track their routine and even their progress. However, despite being helpful, there’s no denying that one of the biggest problems that fitness animals face is the trouble of lugging around a heavy smartphone with them during their workouts, ultimately distracting them from achieving their fitness goals.

The all-new Samsung Gear Fit2 is a GPS sports band that promises a bulk-free and advanced fitness experience. There’s no need to bring around a heavy smartphone for progress tracking because the Gear Fit2 will help keep you motivated to outdo your last fitness record – may it be in terms of length of time, number of reps, or calories burned.

With its stand-alone GPS tracking capabilities, the Gear Fit2 can help fitness animals easily monitor not only location, but also their burned calories, distance, speed, route, time, hours of sleep, and stress levels to keep them fit and healthy.

With its Social Challenge capabilities, the Gear Fit2 also allows fitness animals to challenge one other into doing fitness routines that can help create motivational friendly competition amongst friends, pushing themselves more and outdo their best records.

Worried about water or sweat breaking your device? Don’t be. The Gear Fit2, with its IP68 rating, is water and dust resistant, all wrapped into a sleek and lightweight band-type design compatible with any style.

Thanks to other features available on the Gear Fit2 like a 4GB storage capacity to store up to 1,000 songs, and a curved Super AMOLED Display for easy viewing of their fitness data, the Gear Fit2 is truly an essential companion for fitness animals.

However, being able to track one’s workout progress is not enough for fitness animals to achieve their goals. Movement and focus are equally important. Imagine doing a 10km run with wires hitting the face. That would immediately distract a fitness animal from truly focusing on his or her full goals. The all-new Samsung Gear IconX helps with just that.

Having a truly wireless design, these cord-free fitness earbuds and help motivate fitness animals to push themselves more with its in-ear fitness tracker, something the market hasn’t seen or any other earphone device can do, with real time updates on time, distance, speed, heart rate, calories burned, etc. Equipped with audio feedback, the cord-free earbuds provide fitness animals with a coach’s voice in their head – literally – to push them further into achieving their goals and the most effective training they long for.

But it doesn’t stop there: The Gear Icon X allows fitness animals to listen to up to 1,000 songs on its 4GB storage. Controlling the music player is done much easier, too, thanks to its Smart Touch function: users will be able to control the volume, or select play, pause, and skip with just a few simple taps on a Gear IconX earbud.

Samsung has also taken into consideration the safety of its Gear IconX users. The cord-free earbuds have an ambient noise feature that allows fitness animals to still hear their surroundings and be aware of their environment without sacrificing the need for a seamless music experience.

One of the best things about Gear Fit2 and Gear IconX is their compatibility beyond Samsung, working with Android 4.4 or above and 1.5GB RAM devices. To top all of that, both fitness devices have the ability to function without the other. Fitness animals are usually introduced to fitness gadgets that require another – but that’s not the case with the new Gear Fit2 and Gear IconX, which can actually work as stand-alone devices.

Samsung’s newest GPS sports band and cord-free fitness earbuds are the perfect fitness companions in unleashing one’s self by setting fitness animals free from limitations, distractions, and things that hold them back from achieving not just their goals, but their optimal performance as well. The Samsung Gear Fit2 and Gear IconX help #UnleashYourself.

The Samsung Gear Fit2 and Gear IconX are now available at Samsung Experience Stores and authorized dealers nationwide for only PHP8,490 and PHP7,990, respectively.
