Samsung has launched a new fitness-aimed tracker, with a large display screen, and a hard and fast of small wireless earbuds.
both the equipment Fit2 and the equipment IconX, which the employer says can be to be had in June and July, have been designed as devices that can be used at some point of exercising.
The wireless headphones, the equipment IconX, are small, nub-like set of speakers that the organization claims will stop those workout from having to carry "awkward devices".
The earbuds provide data such as heart rate, distance, speed, duration and calories burned through the Voice Guide, even without a smartphone,Samsung says. A built-in heart rate monitor and voice prompts will also provide updates on the intensity of any exercise that is being tracked.
Coming in three different colours – black, blue, and white –– the headphones fit in-ear and have a larger set of controls that sit outside the ear. When they're launched the headphones will cost $199 (£138).
To allow the headphones to operate away from a phone, the headphones have 4GB of internal storage. Samsung said this can store up to 1,000 songs and music can be controlled by "tapping or swiping" on the earbuds.
The Gear IconX headphones also come with a charging case that can re-power the earbuds for an additional two cycles. An initial hands-on with the headphones gave around three hours battery life, on average.
As well as the headphones, Samsung has updated its Gear Fit range. The second device in its lineup has a large 1.5" curved sAMOLED display but adds GPS to allow movement tracking for running, walking and cycling.
"The Gear Fit2 displays animations to illustrate proper exercise techniques for more accurate tracking, and can also provide feedback at set intervals during your workout," Samsung said of the $180 (£124) band.
Like other GPS-fitted sportswear, the Gear Fit2 is able to track distance and speed in real time. Samsung said it is capable of tracking up to 15 different types of exercise, including squatting and yoga.
A heart-rate monitor, accelerometer, gyro, and barometer complete the lineup of sensors packed into the small wearable. It is also water resistant.
Both of the products from Samsung come with the obligatory ability to sync data to Samsung devices, through Bluetooth, and its applications.
