After the device leaked earlier this month, the Samsung Gear Fit 2 Pro has officially been revealed. In fact, the fitness wearable was posted a little bit ahead of schedule via Samsung Spain, with the official reveal [perhaps] coming in a few short hours at the Galaxy Note 8 press event.

As expected, the Gear Fit 2 Pro features a prominent 1.5-inch curved Super AMOLED screen with a resolution of 432x216 and the ability to display 16 million colors. Although there is no information on what processor is being used by the Gear Fit 2 Pro, we do know that it features 512MB of RAM and 4GB of internal storage. However, the specifications for the device clearly point out that only 2GB is available to the user, with the rest being reserved for the operating system (Tizen).

Other features include Bluetooth 4.2 and 802.11n Wi-Fi, GPS/Glonass support, an accelerometer, barometer, gyroscope and a heart rate sensor. Powering the device is a 200 mAh battery, which Samsung says is good for 3 to 4 days runtime between charging. However, if you’re constantly pinging the GPS module, your battery will be completely zapped in just 9 hours.

Samsung says that the Gear Fit 2 Pro is water resistant to 50 meters (we have the feeling that Samsung will better luck than Sony in this department), and will come with apps like UA Record, MapMyRun, MyFitnessPal and the always popular Endomondo.

Although U.S. availability has been announced yet, we do know that the Gear Fit 2 Pro will be available in all black or red/black models in either small or large sizes. Earlier reports suggest that the fitness wearable will be priced at $199, but we’ll update this article with official pricing once its available.
