Samsung Has Three New Smartwatches — Including One That Curves Around Your Wrist

The real surprise here is the release of the Gear Fit. With the device, Samsung makes the leap into the super-popular world of fitness bands. The big news here is the inclusion of a curved AMOLED display, which brings smartphone notifications to the front and wraps around your wrist more naturally.

Samsung wants your wrist again, like it did last summer. Yeah, it wants your wrist again. Like it did last year.

Back in September, Samsung took its first dive into wrist-worn wearables with the Galaxy Gear. A mere six months later, the company is back with not one but three follow-ups: the Galaxy Gear 2, the Galaxy Gear 2 Neo and the Galaxy Gear Fit.

That’s two smartwatches and a wrist-worn fitness band, extending Samsung’s wearable reach into the realm currently dominated by fitness trackers the likes of Fitbit and Nike’s Fuelband.

Samsung’s smartwatches connect to your smartphone via low-power Bluetooth connectivity and can both deliver notifications from your phone to the watch and let you perform certain activities from your wrist on your phone. The first Galaxy Gear was criticized for its lack of performable functions and lackluster battery, which Samsung hopes it has addressed with these three follow-ups.
