With the exception of its failure to get a GPS fix in central London, there's nothing inherently wrong with the Gear Sport. It looks good, has an outstanding display and battery life is solid. At £299, it's also in line with many of its rivals like the Ap...

Make no mistake This thing is big. While the 45mm Gear Sport feels right at home on my wrist and my 6-foot tall frame, smaller people will still find it a bit unwieldy, What you won't get is the optional LTE connectivity available on the Gear S3, in case
Tizen app ecosystem feels thin, and some important apps are clunky
Great battery life, Offline Spotify and Speedo On, Built-in GPS
Run and swim tracking iffy, Samsung Pay no longer supports MST, No LTE (if that's a problem for you)
The Gear Sport sits between the Fit2 Pro and the S3; in many ways it's a refined Gear S2, honed more at health and fitness. It can't be faulted for lacking features, but the sensors for running and swimming struggled in testing. This is Samsung's best sma...
Bright, colorful screen, Good battery life, Slim and comfortable, Solid performance, Great software experience with rotating bezel
Lack of third-party apps, Music transfer is tricky without Spotify

The Gear Sport isn't just much more slimline than Samsung's other efforts, making it much more pleasurable to war, but its deceptively lightweight and offers bold displays and high capacity for user-end customisation. With more health and fitness-focused...
