Whether you can shower with this smartwatch is up to you, but first, let’s talk about the key features it offers. Does it have a water-resistance rating of 50m?

Water-resistant up to 50m
If you enjoy active lifestyles, the Samsung Galaxy Fit2 is an ideal choice. Its IP68 water-resistant rating means it can be taken on the beach or into the pool without worrying about your phone. However, you should not try diving or engaging in high-pressure water sports with it. Fortunately, the Galaxy Fit2 is water-resistant up to 50m. Water-resistant up to 50m is still not enough to ensure your safety, so be sure to check your local laws before diving.
Both the Samsung Galaxy Fit 2 and the Gear Sport are water-resistant up to 50m. While these two models are perfectly safe to use in pools, showers, and even rain, they should not be worn during sports activities involving high-velocity water. You should also avoid submersion below shallow depths unless you are doing scuba diving or water-skiing. Nonetheless, the Galaxy Fit2 and Gear Sport have been thoroughly tested and proven to be highly resistant to water and other environmental elements.

Touchscreen display
The new Galaxy Fit 2 is a wearable fitness tracker with a touchscreen display. While the device is primarily a touchscreen, it does have a small touch-sensitive button underneath it. It can be frustrating to use while running because the touchscreen is only horizontally oriented. Luckily, the Fit has recently received a software update that makes it easier to use while in the shower. It has improved its display and now displays notifications with ‘Notifi-cations’ instead of ‘Notifications’.
The touchscreen is an AMOLED, so its color reproduction is superior. The display has rich, deep blacks. There are also multiple brightness settings, and you can still have decent visibility, even in low-light situations. The Galaxy Fit 2 has a five-ATM water-resistance rating, which means it can be worn in the shower and even in the pool. Although its size is not a huge advantage, the slim design and touchscreen make it a good alternative to the Fitbit Inspire. Just make sure that you don’t expect to see any of the information in a large display when in the shower.
The Galaxy Fit is waterproof and dust-resistant, and even though it is splash-proof, you should always wipe it dry after exposure to freshwater. You can also use it to track your runs. You can even take it to the pool to do some basic training. Although it does not have the ability to take GPS readings, you can still use the touchscreen to view your fitness information. It’s a nice feature for an entry-level sports wearable.
Long cable
It’s possible to shower while wearing a Galaxy Fit 2, but you’ll need a long cable. The charger cable that comes with the Fit 2 is ridiculously short. It won’t reach more than 20cm from the power source. To make matters worse, the cable is only 20cm long. Thankfully, there are plenty of cables available at a low price. We’ve listed a few below.
