Sony had a similar product to gear iconx but it had only 4 Gb and was discontinued.

      Akinaro, 03 Jun 2016""1.5 hours of streaming Bluetooth audio"" New amazing rec... moreBy what you've said, we've no reason to think that the new one will perform any different. That is unless it has more sensors that you actually use, and if the old one had them, and you had used them ..ditto. The standby time may be no different.
      In some colors its a nice lookin thing.

        New amazing record...

        And new gear fit2?
        As a user of firs one Im disappointed by battery, my gear fit can last almost 5 days of usage(sync with 4apps, pedometer etc.) and one time I left it for whole week in home and it still had 20% battery

        Instead of finding balance between size/battery they AGAIN focused on initial wow effect and look, instead of making perfect mix... like first gear fit was... simple, with all necessary functions and with good battery...

          Anonymous, 03 Jun 2016180$ for a fit band! Samsung keep dreamingI didn't mean to be rude but...assuming from your reply, you predict that this product will fail in the market because of the price. I think you're wrong.
          Provided the fact that this has built-in GPS and it's just a tad more than Pebble Time 2 ($169), and a tad cheaper than Pebble 2 + Core ($99 + $79), you'll get more in this aside from Pebble's stellar battery life and waterproofing.

          It's not from the design either. This wearable is aimed towards fitness-conscious people by its design. For anyone who likes an understatement of elegance could choose other wearable, like moto360 2 or Huawei Watch if they're Android or an Apple Watch if they're iOS. For any users that only want to use a casual sport trackers, there's the MiBand 2 (no touchscreen nor GPS, of course). For any serious athletes, they'll go for Garmin series for an accurate measurement.

          What was right is this: the sales won't be as hyped as much because almost everybody already has another wearable in their wrist. Unlike phones/tablets, majority of people won't buy wearable every time a new generation is out.

                  saw this 30 minutes ago also but at news.samsung.com . but somebody commented first here , haha

                    This time saw this first on sammobile, LOL!

                    Anyway, the bluetooth headset, you need to wear both of them for phone calls, or just one would do, don't really understand that, I am not talking about music, only phone calls?
