The Samsung Gear 2 smartwatch will cost $299, and both the simpler Samsung Gear 2 Neo and Samsung Gear Fit band get a $199 price tag. AT&T expects to ship the devices in early April.
Samsung announced its wearable lineup at Mobile World Congress last month. The Gear 2 offers a few new features over its predecessor, including a heart rate sensor, longer battery life, and 720p video capture. The Fit is a new product that focuses more on the health and fitness aspects of a wearable device. Also new to Samsung’s lineup is the Gear 2 Neo, a lighter version of the Gear 2 that strips out the camera.
All three devices are due to reach consumers on April 11 including in parts of Asia and in the US.
