Gear Fit2 is going to be a blockbuster, should be supported by the SDK imo

Marco Buettner

I think that Gear Fit2 doesnt get support by Tizen SDK.

John Ixion

exactly, Samsung is going to sell tons of this device but some bureaucrat has probably decided that it doesn't need third-party apps: that's how one idiot kills an ecosystem...

 

I've paid 200 euros for this highly capable device, which is strangled by Samsung's bureaucracy ... would be impossible with a similar Android device btw

John Ixion

forgot: Gear Fit2 is my first Samsung device, will probably be the last...

Marco Buettner

The Gear Fit2 is not a real smartwatch its just a simple fitness tracker... If u wanna more you have to buy another Gear-device, but not the Fit-Series

John Ixion

Gear Fit2 is a real smartwatch: I simply don't like round screens.

Gear Fit2 has the same specs as Gear S2 btw

Marco Buettner

Not in the view of Samsung

I had a plan for a killer app on Gear Fit2, never thought Samsung's bureaucracy would block me.

Other companies are much smarter, just an example: https://developer.microsoftband.com/

Gear Fit2 has a bigger screen than Microsoft Band 2: http://comparewear.com/compare/microsoft-band-2-vs-samsung-gear-fit2-vs-samsung-gear-s2/

 

 

note: Gear Fit2 has wifi (comparison website is incorrect)

Marco Buettner

The Samsung website writes WiFi

Connectivity

  • Wi-Fi

The main point is this: Samsung is trying to create a Tizen ecosystem but their best-selling Tizen device will not be supported by the SDK. I'm speechless...

John Ixion

Can anyone from Samsung confirm this please:

"From the user’s perspective, now anyone can develop applications or watchfaces for the Gear Fit2, and users can download and use it – that’s because Tizen OS-related SDKs are provided and there is an app store. "

The SamsungApps Store support the resolution of the Gear Fit2. Watchfaces will supported by Gearface Theme Manager
