Samsung's Gear Sport went on pre-order in the United
States about two weeks ago. Now, the smartwatch is available for purchase on
Amazon for US$ 299.99, the same price that customers paid if they placed a
pre-order.
However, the smartwatch doesn't come with any
freebies in tow, whereas if you would have pre-ordered the Gear Sport you would
have received 6 months of Spotify Premium service for free. Well, at least you
get to choose between two colors: Blue and Black.
The Gear Sport is a step up from the previous
Samsung smartwatches in the fact that it's water-resistant up to 50 meters and
comes with all sorts of health sensors and apps. The wearable device allows
users to easily track their activity with heart rate and GPS mapping, as well
as check calorie balance and measure daily progress.
It also comes with Samsung Pay NFC support so you
can make payments from your wrist. And you can use the Gear Sport with either
Android or iOS smartphones.
