I've reviewed quite a few fit bands in my time here at Ausdroid. I could say that they are a passion of mine but most of them you could take or leave, they lack so much functionality that I don't see the point. I don't see the point in counting steps. Nor...

Last year I thought that the Garmin Vivosmart HR was the best fitness band around. It seems that there is a challenger to this title, the Samsung Gear Fit 2. It is sturdy while not being overly large, has a vibrant, large coloured display with a multitude...

The lack of iOS support doesn't wreck the Samsung Gear Fit2, but it does severely limit the number of people who can use it. Fortunately that friend I was wrecking a bowl of chilli with also rocks an Android phone. She leaned over her meal and peered at t...
