The Samsung Gear Sport is Smaller for Active Use
Smartwatches and fitness wearables typically form two distinct categories, but the Samsung Gear Sport is working to merge them seamlessly. The smartwatch is a dialed back version of the Gear S3 with added performance aspects to make it better suited for fitness activities while still performing the necessities of a smartwatch.
The Samsung Gear Sport looks similar to the S3, but it's visibly smaller than that previous model. That slimmer profile coupled with added features like a built-in heart rate monitor, waterproofing for swim tracking, and compatibility with several different fitness and sleep-tracking make it a good option for recording fitness information. On top of these features, the smartwatch is functional and attractive enough to be worn on an everyday basis as well.
