																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Beginning October 27, the new Gear Sport and Gear IconX (2018) will be available for purchase in select markets.* The two devices are the newest additions to Samsung’s portfolio of innovative wearables and are both uniquely designed to meet the varying lifestyle needs of consumers.</p>
<p>The Gear Sport features a built-in GPS and 5 ATM water resistance** to help users go beyond fitness to get the most out of their everyday activities. Adding to this are a suite of premium partnerships with Spotify, Under Armour and Speedo that enable practical fitness experiences, as well as an enhanced user interface that is easily navigated via the device’s minimalistic circular bezel.</p>
<p>With its sleek, ergonomic form that can be worn with a variety of 20mm straps and watchfaces, the Gear Sport is a stylish accessory for any occasion, whether hitting the gym or going out with friends.</p>
<p>Boasting a lightweight, cord-free design, the Gear IconX (2018) earbuds provide a secure and comfortable fit, making them perfect for active users who are constantly on the go. A built-in Running Coach, in-ear automatic activity tracking, hassle-free controls and standalone music playback capabilities with 4GB of internal storage take workouts to an entirely new level. Furthermore, an improved long-lasting battery ensures that users always have access to the features they need and music they love.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Samsung’s Gear Fit2 allows users to ‘sweat smarter’ by accurately tracking a wide range of exercises and providing insights to help you take charge of your fitness. The GPS sports band’s latest software update strengthens its heart-rate and exercise-tracking abilities and adds new ways for users to maximize their training.</p>
<p>The Gear Fit2’s update makes tracking fitness progress more intuitive and effective. Once a user completes an exercise with their Gear Fit2, for instance, listed among their post-workout stats will be a color-coded graph displaying time spent in various heart-rate zones. Broken down by level of exertion – ‘Moderate’, ‘Vigorous’ and ‘Maximum’ – the chart takes the user’s maximum heart rate into account to provide a simple rundown of the exercise’s efficiency.</p>
<p>Automatic activity detection has also been enhanced. Whenever a user exercises for more than ten minutes, the Gear Fit2 automatically activates its fitness-tracking functions. With the new update, the map displayed after a user completes an auto-tracked workout will also inform them of their approximate location.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-90371" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Gear-Fit2-SW-Update-2017_main_1.jpg" alt="" width="705" height="400" /></p>
<p>To help users get in the zone during runs, the update also incorporates support for customizable pace targets. Simply input your desired distance and time via the Samsung Health smartphone app to build a workout tailored help you reach your running goals. Users may choose between runs designed to help burn fat or increase cardiovascular endurance, and select an intensity level that works for them. After establishing a target, the device will guide users through each stage of their exercise.</p>
<p>The update also lets users customize the information that’s displayed during workouts. The device offers a clear view of an array of useful workout data, including distance traveled, calories burned, the duration of an exercise, and the user’s heart rate. To adjust the data that’s prominently displayed, simply swipe across the Gear Fit2’s screen. A simple tap on the bottom of the screen will be displayed there additionally.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-90372" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Gear-Fit2-SW-Update-2017_main_2.jpg" alt="" width="705" height="400" /></p>
<p>For users who need a little nudge now and then to get on their feet, 50 minutes of inactivity will prompt the Gear Fit2’s enhanced inactive alerts screen, which provides walkthroughs of simple stretches that can help you get back on track.</p>
<p>Of course, getting the most out of a workout requires getting a good night’s rest afterward, which is why the comprehensive Sleep Record notification offers users deeper insight into their personal sleep patterns.</p>
<p>Included with the evening’s sleep total is a simple multicolored graph that breaks down ‘Restless’, ‘Light’ and ‘Motionless’ sleep and informs you of how much time you spent in each zone. Users have the option to view their sleep data directly on their device, or via the Samsung Health app on their smartphone.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-90373" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Gear-Fit2-SW-Update-2017_main_3.jpg" alt="" width="705" height="400" /></p>
<p>Other notable additions include the ability to send quick SOS alerts with your location by triple pressing the Gear Fit2’s Home key, and browse and download watch faces directly to the device, as well as via the Samsung Gear app.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-90374" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Gear-Fit2-SW-Update-2017_main_4.jpg" alt="" width="705" height="400" /></p>
<p>You can download the Gear Fit2’s latest software update via Samsung Gear app.</p>
