Samsung is looking for an edge for its first Tizen-powered smartwatch, Gear S. They have partnered with Nike to introduce a new exclusive Nike+ Running and Fitness app for the smartwatch. It is intended to turn the Gear S into a fitness tracker similar to what the FuelBand was. Because the Gear S has 3G capability, there is no need to use a smartphone to upload live progress statistics to Nike+ servers. It is also capable of collecting different information about your speed, distance, and route thanks to the GPS module. You can also check pace, direction, and heart rate right from the Gear S. Nike also introduced a Nike+ Coach functionality right into the app to help runners keep in shape.
