Galaxy Watch, Fit and Buds
Phones weren’t the only unveilings by Samsung. The Korean Giant also announced the Galaxy watch Active, Galaxy Fit/Fit-E and the Galaxy Buds.
The Galaxy Watch is just a sportier version of the Galaxy watch that comes with a heart-rate monitor, water resistance, lightweight aluminum build and ability to access smartphone notifications.
The Galaxy Fit is just a fitness tracker that records your heartbeat, steps, stress and sleep. Nothing that we haven’t seen already.
The Galaxy Buds are Samsung’s answer to the Apple AirPods. These Bluetooth-enabled rechargeable buds last for around 5-6 hours and cost around $150.
Samsung certainly had a great start to their 2019 and after disappointing revenues from their previous flagship, Samsung expects to lift the shareholder value with the Galaxy S10 trio and the Galaxy Fold of course.
