Samsung’s Gear Wearables Finally Get A Price Tag

The GALAXY Gear 2 is priced at 18,000, while the Gear Fit is set to cost around Rs 12,000.

 

The Gear 2 and Gear Fit were launched at the MWC 2014 in Barcelona. The Korean brand made a point to show-off all its features, but missed out on the pricing part. Finally, these details have emerged all the way from Taiwan.

The Gear 2 which was the successor to the original Galaxy Gear is priced at Taiwanese $8,990 (approximately Rs 18,000). The Gear Fit, the cheaper among the lot, is set to cost Taiwanese $5,990, which roughly translates to Rs 12,000. Both the Gear wearables run on Samsung's very own Tizen OS. These devices can communicate with select GALAXY Smartphones via Bluetooth and Galaxy Gear app.

 

The Gear 2 is more of a smartwatch, whereas the Gear Fit is meant for the health freaks. The Gear 2 comes with 1.63 inch (320 x 320 pixels) Super AMOLED display and is equipped with a 2 MP camera capable of recording 720p videos. The Gear fit, on the other hand, comes with a gyro, accelerometer, pedometer and even a heart rate sensor at the bottom which all sync with the Galaxy Fit Manager app on the smartphone.



Samsung needs to get these devices to the market as soon as possible as Google’s own smartwatch might eat into Gear's sales.
