Gear Fit 2 and Gear S3 getting minor firmware updates

The Gear Fit 2 is one of the best fitness trackers going around. Samsung has just sent out a new update for the wearable which brings along some minor features on board. This is not a game-changing update, but one that will enhance user experience to a great extent. The update changes the software version to R360XXU1BPK5/R360OXA1BPK5 and is about 21.44MB in size.

The Auto Pause feature on the Gear Fit 2 automatically pauses your runs or cycling when you've stopped. Further, Automated Dynamic Workout Tracking now automatically registers exercises like basketball, table tennis, badminton, dancing and soccer.

In the meanwhile, Samsung has sent a firmware update for the Gear S3 Classic and the Frontier as well. The updates will carry the firmware versions R770XXU1APK3 (Classic) and R760XXU1APK3 (Frontier). It is being said that the update brings support for speedometer as well, although it cannot be confirmed at the moment.

Be sure to check out our review and initial impressions of the Gear Fit 2 and the Gear S3 Frontier.
