Ah...exercising. That's one thing that most people would say they would do when the new year starts. Keeping yourself in shape is really hard, but the TechNave team was given the challenge to burn some calories by Samsung Malaysia before Chinese New Year. No way that we will slim down drastically, but the point is to exercise and see the usefulness of the GearSport along with the Gear IconX device.

This time around Samsung have officially announced their Gear Sport, Gear Fit2 Pro and Gear IconX (2018) wearables for IFA 2017. Keeping that rotateable crown, the Gear Sport offers a 1.0gHz processor, 768MB RAM, 4GB storage, 1.2-inch Super AMOLED display, heart-rate sensor, GPS, Wifi and Bluetooth. The 300 mAh battery can be charged wirelessly while the Gear Sport has a MIL-STD-810G shock resistance and 5ATM pressure resistance for swimmers.
