The display on the Gear Fit 2 has double the width of the Gear Fit 2, which means that you can read fitness information easier and clearer.
Water Resistant
The Gear Fit 2 has an IP68 rating, which means that if it rains or if you drop it in the bathtub, the wearable device will be fine. However, you would not want to go into the pool with it, as it is not made to track swimming.

Battery
The Gear Fit 2 comes with a less powerful battery (200mAh), while the Gear Fit has a 210 mAh one, but that doesn’t mean that this model will not stay alive longer than the Gear Fit.
