Samsung is preparing its second-generation S Band, even as it failed to ship its first-generation version. According to a sales guide obtained by SamMobile, the new S Band will function similarly to its predecessor but feature a much-improved design. The new S Band will track sleep, calories, steps and distance, and will connect to compatible Samsung smartphones over Bluetooth.
Samsung’s original S Band, announced as an accessory for the Galaxy S4, never made it to market, but that hasn’t stopped the company from working on a successor to the S Band, which will be released a fitness accessory for the Galaxy S5 and other devices in the coming months. We’ve received a few slides from the sales guide for the Galaxy S5 that shows the new S Band in all its glory (the guide itself seems to show a Galaxy S4, which is how Samsung keeps things under wraps), revealing the much improved design that’s similar to that of the Gear Fit, Samsung’s beautiful fitness tracker that was unveiled at Unpacked 5.
