After releasing its latest Fit wearables across
Europe and Asia, the Galaxy Fit and Fit e are making their way to the US and
Canada. Both trackers cover all the basics in terms of recording workout data
in a lightweight package. The most noticeable difference between the two is
that the regular Galaxy Fit comes with a larger color screen and interactive
notification support while the Fit e sports monochrome screen and more limited
functionality.
The Galaxy Fit features a 0.95-inch full-color
AMOLED screen and packs the Cortex M33F SoC. One of its advantages over the Fit
e is the support for notification interactions as well as its larger 120mAh
battery which Samsung claims will last 7-8 days.
If you don’t need those features, the Fit e offers
all the fitness tracking capabilities of the regular Fit in a more affordable
package. You’ll have to make do with its smaller monochrome display and 70 mAh
battery but given the display won’t be as demanding it should result in similar
battery life.
Both bands come with MIL-STD-810G ruggedness,
Bluetooth 5.0 support and run on Samsung’s proprietary FreeRTOS software. The
Galaxy Fit comes in black and silver colors while the Galaxy Fit e is offered
in black, white, and yellow. The Galaxy Fit goes for US$ 99 in the US and CAD 150
in Canada while the Fit e will set buyers back CAD70 as is not listed on the US
site yet. Shipments stаrt on June 18.
