The Gear 2 smartwatch will sell for $295, Samsung announced in Taiwan on Wednesday, according to Sammobile and other sources. That's but a slight drop from the $300 retail price of the original Gear. And the new Gear Fit fitness band will cost $197. Samsung announced both products at Mobile World Congress last month. The Gear 2 offers a few new features over its predecessor, including a heart rate sensor, longer battery life, and 720p video capture. The Fit is a new product that focuses more on the health and fitness aspects of a wearable device. Also new to Samsung's lineup is the Gear 2 Neo, a lighter version of the Gear 2 that strips out the camera. Samsung didn't reveal the price of the Neo, but The Korea Herald expects it to sell for around $250. All three devices are due to reach consumers on April 11.
