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.

We applaud Samsung for taking the original Galaxy Fit, streamlining the look and bringing the price point down to make it much better value for money. As a fitness tracker though it let us down a little on the step and heart rate tracking. There were accuracy issues with sports tracking too. We like the design, the smartwatch features work well and there is a good fitness tracker here. It's just when it tries to go beyond that it comes unstuck. It's a good budget tracker and a good alternative to Xiaomi and Amazfit's Bands if you want something that feels and looks nicer to wear.
