Gear 2 e Gear 2 Neo vivono in simbiosi con uno smartphone ma non solo: permettono infatti di rispondere alle chiamate, ai messaggi, e forniscono notifiche basate anche sull’attività dell’utente. Entrambi offrono infatti soluzioni dedicate al fitness e all’allenamento, con monitoraggio del battito cardiaco, conta-passi
Grazie alla porta a infrarossi incorporata e al software WatchON sono in grado di controllare TV e altri apparecchi a distanza, inoltre è presente anche un lettore musicale autonomo (che non si basi cioè sulla musica presente sullo smartphone accoppiato), da sfruttare magari tramite auricolari Bluetooth.
Unica differenza tra i due: l’assenza di fotocamera in Gear 2 Neo, laddove su Gear 2 è integrata sopra il quadrante e non sul cinturino, come nell’attuale modello. Entrambi sono certificati IP67 per resistere ad acqua e polvere ed entrambi hanno un’autonomia dichiarata di 2-3 giorni, che possono arrivare a 6 con un utilizzo più lieve.
Due dispositivi molto interessanti, dei quali speriamo di regalarvi a breve le prime impressioni dal vivo qui da Barcellona. Di seguito specifiche, immagini e comunicato stampa.

The addition of a standalone music player with Bluetooth headset means people can leave their smartphone at home and still enjoy their music on the go.
Both devices also offer personal fitness coaching in real time, allowing users to develop a customizable fitness routine and monitor their heart rate in order to improve their overall well-being.
