The Gear Fit isn’t dead, though, as a new leak has revealed that a Gear Fit 2 is indeed coming.

Remember the Gear Fit?
Like its predecessor, the new Gear Fit seems to have a 1.84 inch curved AMOLED display, although the new model is designed with a greater curve to make it more comfortable and built-in Global Positioning System support.
Samsung is preparing two new products in its line of Gear accessories, according to a person testing the items: a sequel to its Gear Fit fitness tracking band, and a pair of cordless, Bluetooth earbuds. VentureBeat didn’t have specs, though it said the tracker should come with a dedicated Global Positioning System chipset and might be priced similarly to Gear Fit.
Are you looking for the successor to the Samsung Gear Fit wearable? Other companies, like Jabra, have wired earbuds that offer fitness tracking and even heart rate monitoring. The earbuds, which are completely wireless, are dust and water resistant and come in a charging case.
There’s no word from Samsung about the launch of the devices, but we’ll keep an eye on the news and update you if we get to hear anything more about the new Gear devices. Samsung appears to have redesigned it a bit so it fits easier around your wrist, similarly to how Microsoft rounded-out its Band fitness tracker for comfort.

We’re also getting a good look at the yet-to-be-announced Samsung Gear IconX Bluetooth earbuds. Both the new Gear devices look interesting, with the Gear Fit 2 offering nice upgrades over the original for fitness-focused users, and the Gear IconX are alluring because they’re wireless earbuds without any cable connecting them and dangling on the back of your neck.
