Samsung Galaxy Fit 2

The Samsung Galaxy Fit 2 feels like a more polished effort than the last Fit and is definitely one of the nicest-looking cheap fitness trackers you can put on your wrist right now. It largely delivers on those tracking basics too, but comes unstuck when you turn to it for monitoring heart rate and tracking exercise. If you’re happy just dealing with those basics and a smattering of smartwatch features, you’ll be well served here. The Xiaomi Mi Band 5 though will likely offer you better value while Fitbit’s cheapest tracker will offer a more reliable tracking experience too.

A subtle improvement on the original, Samsung has made the Galaxy Fit 2 a very competitive fitness tracker.

At just £49, it's easy to imagine that the Samsung Galaxy Fit 2 will strike a chord with some people, particularly anyone who simply wants a cheap wearable that can track their steps, send notifications to their wrist and offer encouragement for a healthier lifestyle. However, it's an inferior fitness tracking device to its predecessor by having no form of any GPS tracking and a heart rate sensor that's miles off the mark. The Fit 2 just doesn't live up to the expectations set by a brand like Samsung.
