Galaxy Fit 2 is the latest smartband from Samsung. It succeeds Galaxy Fit that was released last year, and new features have been added such as a larger display, more watch faces, and longer battery life, yet for a cheaper price. I’ve bought one for myself and in this post, I’ll show you how to setup the Galaxy Fit 2 to work with a compatible smartphone.
Just like other smartbands and smartwatches from Samsung, the Galaxy Wearable app is the companion app for these devices. You’ll need to install it on your phone before you can pair the Galaxy Fit 2 and your phone.
Samsung Galaxy Wearable app is compatible with Android 5.0+ and iOS 9.0+. So you need to visit Google Playstore or iOS store to download the app.
- Download the Galaxy Wearable app for Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.android.app.watchmanager&hl=en&gl=US
