Samsung Gear Icon X and Gear Sport will be October 27th

Many manufacturers focus on sports when it comes to smartwatches, also Samsung. Their latest shot on the trunk is earbuds called Gear Icon X 2018 and a new smartwatch Gear Sport. Both parts will be on the market on 27 October.

As of today, they can be pre-ordered in some countries. I have not received prices for other countries, but in the US they will cost $ 200 and $ 300, respectively. There are also no reviews for the products yet.

However, I heard about Gear Sport earlier this year, where there was no specific price or launch date yet, with a price of $ 300 it costs almost the same as the Gear S3 Watch from 2016. Of new features, I can mention watertight down to 50 meters. It's handy if you're going to swim and it's about the same as your competitors Apple Watch Series 3 and Fitbit Ionic.

In addition, the watch has GPS, can synchronize and play music via Spotify and works with both Android and iOS phones.

On the other hand, it does not seem that the watch itself has mobile networks, and there is also no speaker function so you can talk via Bluetooth. In the past, Gear watches have a bit of trouble when it comes to iOS features, they simply do not work as well with an Apple phone as with an Android. However, I can not say if this is the case for this watch.

Icon X 2018 - Price

Icon X 2018 will also be on October 27th. There are wireless sports headphones, and they cost $ 200 as mentioned. It's actually more expensive than Apple's AirPods, but in return they come with built-in tracking of your heartbeat. The function is running without the headphones connected to a phone or smartwatch.

In addition, they have 4GB of internal memory so you can save music in them. This year's edition should also have a better battery life of up to five hours. It is a welcome improvement over last year's model. with sparse three hours on paper, but actually closer to 1.5 hours in practice.
