As businesses settle into the realities of hybrid and flexible work models, one thing becomes clear – productivity no longer depends solely on where work happens, but on how well workspaces are equipped and fit for purpose. From corporate offices to home setups, display technology has emerged as a critical enabler of focus, efficiency, and employee well-being.

Back to Work, Back to Productivity

The return to structured work routines is prompting organisations to rethink their workspace standards. Employees are moving between offices, home desks and shared environments, often using multiple devices and applications throughout the day. High-quality monitors play a pivotal role in supporting this shift by helping to minimise distractions and maintain consistency across work locations.

A well-chosen monitor can support smoother workflows and more effective collaboration, whether an employee is sifting through data at headquarters or joining a virtual meeting from their home office.

Choosing the Right Monitor Matters

The importance of display quality on daily productivity is paramount and the right monitor setup delivers tangible business benefits:

• Greater screen clarity and real estate enable employees to manage multiple windows, documents, and tools simultaneously, improving task efficiency and reducing time lost to constant switching.
• Ergonomic design helps reduce eye strain, neck tension and fatigue, supporting long-term comfort and healthier work habits over extended hours.
• Flexible connectivity options simplify device integration, allowing employees to move seamlessly between laptops, desktops and shared systems without unnecessary downtime.

Designed for Different Business Use Cases

No two roles work the same way and monitor choices should reflect this reality:

• Single large-format screens are ideal for finance, operations and analytics professionals who require clarity and precision when working with complex data.
• Ultra-wide displays support creative teams, developers and multitaskers who benefit from expanded horizontal space and uninterrupted workflows.
• Adjustable stands and ergonomic designs are well-suited to corporate offices, shared desks and hot-desk environments, enabling comfort for different users.

This flexibility allows organisations to standardise on a trusted brand while tailoring solutions to specific team needs.

Long-Term Value for Growing Businesses

Beyond enabling productivity, the right monitor strategy supports long-term business value. Samsung monitors are designed to help organisations build future-ready workspaces that can adapt as teams grow or work models evolve.

Energy-efficient designs and enterprise-grade performance also contribute to optimised total cost of ownership in the long run.

Read on to learn more about the new fitness band’s ergonomic design, robust fitness tracking capabilities and premium partnerships that help users get the most out of their workouts.

Stylishly Designed with Lifestyle in Mind

Available in Red (left) and Black (right), the Gear Fit2 Pro is a stylish accessory that blends seamlessly with both workwear and activewear.

Featuring a lightweight, ergonomic design with an enhanced watch-style clasp, the Gear Fit2 Pro provides a comfortable fit during exercise sessions and other everyday activities. The fitness band’s Super AMOLED curved 1.5-inch display with a high-resolution color touchscreen adds to the user experience by making messages easier to type and notifications easier to read.

 

But the device’s design isn’t all about functionality. Available in Black and Red, and featuring linear and geometric band patterns, respectively, its polished, sleek aesthetic also makes it a stylish accessory that blends seamlessly with both workwear and activewear. Furthermore, with Small (125-165mm) and Large (158-205mm) strap options with interchangeable display faces that are either preloaded or can be downloaded via the Galaxy Apps store directly from the device, the Gear Fit2 Pro can easily be personalized to fit the user’s individual style.

 

Users can select from approximately 3,000 interchangeable display faces to personalize their Gear Fit2 Pro.

 

Preloaded display faces can be further stylized to fit the user’s preferences, while additional display faces can be downloaded via the Galaxy Apps store.

 

Ideal for Swimmers with 5 ATM Water Resistance and Speedo On

A water resistance rating of 5 ATM (50 meters) under ISO standard 22810:2010¹ enables advanced swim tracking and monitoring directly from the Gear Fit2 Pro to allow users to measure their key swim metrics for better results. Furthermore, when users begin tracking their swimming session, the device automatically activates the Water Lock Mode, which prevents its screen from being accidentally triggered when touched by water.

 

 

Speedo On, Speedo’s first wearable swim tracking app, comes preloaded on the device, and allows users to track, analyse and share their swim data with other swimmers. The app measures and tracks key swim metrics such as stroke type, lap time, SWOLF, pace and more, all the while offering personalized tips, training plans and drill videos. After transferring the data to the corresponding app on the user’s smartphone, Speedo On syncs the user’s data with Samsung Health so they can get a more comprehensive view of their overall fitness progress.

 

 GPS and Precise Tracking Features to Improve Well-Being

With a variety of intuitive fitness tracking features, the Gear Fit2 Pro gives users more control over their fitness routines and general well-being.

 

Its built-in GPS offers precise tracking² of users’ swimming, running, cycling and hiking data, including distance travelled, speed and calories burned, allowing users to accurately monitor their progress throughout their workout directly from the device itself.

 

Automatic activity detection also recognizes users’ movements and automatically tracks activities including running, walking, cycling, elliptical and rowing machine, as well as other dynamic activities such as dancing and tennis after the user has been exercising for more than 10 minutes. Moreover, users can manually select up to 17 workout categories to track additional activities based on their needs.

 

 

 

Similarly, real-time, continuous heart rate monitoring with improved accuracy tracks every second of the user’s heart rate and provides them with detailed feedback. The device measures maximum heart rate³ and breaks it down into three zones (moderate, vigorous and maximum) so users can stay informed and motivated throughout the day, whether they’re enjoying a stress-free snooze or an invigorating cycling class.

 

 

Because the Gear Fit2 Pro tracks the user’s activity for 24 hours a day, the user is able to not only monitor their exercise, but can also view information about the quality of their sleep as well as the number of calories that they burn throughout the day.

 

 

Premium Partnerships for a More Connected Life

Adding to the Gear Fit2 Pro’s robust tracking capabilities are an assortment of unique partnerships with industry-leading brands such as Spotify, Under Armour and, as previously mentioned, Speedo that help to deliver premium fitness experiences.

The Gear Fit2 Pro is the first wearable to offer Spotify Offline mode.⁴ This means that users can store up to 4GB of internal storage – even when they’re offline or without their smartphone⁵ – so they can stay entertained and motivated even during the most gruelling of workouts.

Samsung’s Under Armour partnership provides users with access to the brand’s popular fitness apps⁶ that offer a connected experience via exclusive features including activity, nutrition and social functions. Users will also have access to a one-year free membership of premium access to content on MyFitnessPal, MapMyRun and Endomondo, including personal training plans, advanced statistics and a nutrition dashboard. Under Armour’s apps sync with Samsung Health to make it easier to keep track of fitness data and workouts no matter which app the user is in.
