The Galaxy Fit is officially priced at RM369 and it comes with a 0.95″ full colour AMOLED display that pushes a resolution of 120×240 pixels. According to Samsung, the Galaxy Fit is a 24/7 Life tracker as not only it offers activity tracking but it also does auto sleep tracking as well. It supports auto workout tracking up to 6 activities and you have the option to choose up to 10 preferred activities from over 90 activity options via the Samsung Health app.
