Update: Samsung increases health applications with Gear 2 watch, Gear Fit, Galaxy S5

Samsung has updated its devices as it tries to establish dominance in the health and fitness tracking market.

Its Gear 2 watch is now based on Samsung’s Tizen operating system rather than Android. It includes an accelerometer and gyroscope – capable of acting as a pedometer and an optical heart rate monitor. This allows the watch to integrate with Samsung’s health and fitness tracking applications, replacing the need for additional tracking gadgets.  Its various tools will measure exercise, sleep and stress levels.

Apple is expected to release a smartwatch in the near future with a strong focus on fitness and health tracking, as well as a “Healthbook” application for its next iteration of its iOS iPhone and iPad software.

The Gear Fit band tracks movement, heart rate and sleep patterns. It is water-resistant and includes phone notifications, a timer, stopwatch and a curved OLED screen.

The Galaxy S5 smartphone features an enhanced S Health 3.0 app, a comprehensive personal fitness tracker, a pedometer, diet and exercise records, and a built-in heart rate monitor. It will pair seamlessly with the next generation Gear products for real-time fitness coaching.

    Can I simply just say what a relief to find a person that actually knows
    what they are talking about online. You certainly understand how to bring an
    issue to light and make it important. A lot more
    people ought to read this and understand this side of your story.
    It’s surprising you are not more popular since you definitely have the gift.

    When I initially left a comment I appear to have clicked the -Notify
    me when new comments are added- checkbox and now every time a comment is added I recieve four
    emails with the exact same comment. Perhaps there is
    an easy method you can remove me from that service?

    Thanks a lot!

    obviously like your web-site but you need to take a look at the spelling on
    several of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling issues and
    I find it very bothersome to inform the reality however
    I will definitely come back again.
