avery_kris

Like many other fitness trackers, the Gear Sport can count how many flights of stairs you've climbed, and you can manually start and stop workouts right on the watch. It also has GPS, so it can track your run or bike ride accurately.

Swim-proof and ready for anything, Gear Sport keeps working in the pool, the rain and even in the shower. Gear Sport is water-resistant up to 50 meters/164 feet so you can keep track of your workout even under water

Samsung has let its Gear S2, Gear S3, and Gear Sport play nicely with Apple's iPhones from the beginning of 2017. Likely soon, the Galaxy Watch will join them. iPhone compatibility was originally announced way back in 2015.

On Android phones, you can try clearing the Galaxy wearable's cache to fix the watch not connecting to a phone issue. To do so, go to “Settings -> Apps -> Galaxy Wearable app -> Storage.” Hit the “Clear cache” button and restart the phone.
