Anonymous, 30 Jul 2016why this is more expensive than a cellphone*Bc the people who designed it and built it and Samsung as a company need to get paid for being talented and for the effort and the hours of lavor and sacrifice they make in order to give you a flawless device like this one. This is my first Tizen base device that i own and it is so intuitive that i would never regret from paying what i paid for it. In fact, i hope they make a watch similar to this fitness band but with a wider screen...like the Gear S. I would be awesome. Considering that the Gear S sold out.

      This market segment are seen as luxury items and do generally carry a little more markup as standard.

      When prices come down (R&D costs being met);and greater quantities start to get made, we will see prices drop hugely.
      Remember when DVD players cost thousands of dollars?
      Bluray players being ten-twenty times their present cost..?

      We need thin wearbles with longer battery life anyway, so this segment is still very immature..

      Samsung having experimented with watch OS's probably has a little more in R&D to recoup; and these curved glass 'Fit's' are fairly unique.

      Missed opportunity if this thing still doesn't have a mic. Even without a speaker.. a mic can do a lot... "OK Samsung?"

            Hey gsmarena, I wrote to you a few weeks ago to let you know that there was a firmware update for Gear Fit 2, but you never published it:)
