Samsung wants to help users get fit for the new year and it's currently offering a free Gear Fit 2 wearable with any Galaxy S7 edge purchase.

The deal targets only customers in the United States and it's available just for a limited time, running from Jan. 6 to Jan. 15, 2017. At the same time, the regular Samsung Galaxy S7 is not included in this promotion on Samsung's website, as only Galaxy S7 edge purchases will net customers the free Gear Fit 2.

On the other hand, Best Buy seems to be offering the same promotion and it's including both the Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 Active, but things are a bit confusing for the moment.

Samsung Promotions: Free Gear Fit 2 With Galaxy S7 Edge

This Samsung promo allows customers to get the free wearable when buying the Galaxy S7 edge either unlocked or on any of the four major carriers in the United States - AT&T, Verizon Wireless, Sprint and T-Mobile - provided they make the purchase by Jan. 15.

The Samsung Gear Fit 2 normally retails at a $129.99 price point, so the promotional deal allows for significant savings. Interested customers who want to take advantage of the deal directly from Samsung's online store can add the Gear Fit 2 to their cart before checkout and they'll get the wearable for free.

Best Buy Promo

When it comes to the deal available at Best Buy, things get a bit more confusing. The retailer states that the free Gear Fit 2 is applicable with the purchase of the Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 edge or Galaxy S7 Active, with a monthly installment plan with AT&T, Sprint or Verizon. However, Best Buy is still directing users to Samsung's promo page to register for the free gift. Samsung's promo page, meanwhile, mentions the deal only for the Galaxy S7 edge and not the other two models in the series.

Best Buy has yet to clarify whether it's indeed offering the Gear Fit 2 for free with the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Active too and, if so, how users can register for the free gift.

The promotion at Best Buy is running for the same period, from Jan. 6 to Jan. 15, with the mention that for Verizon the offer is valid while supplies last.

Samsung Gear Fit 2

As a reminder, the Samsung Gear Fit 2 is a fitness band with built-in GPS and IP68 rating for water resistance. The gadget can track your running route, speed and distance, calories burned, heart rate, cycling stats and more. Its 1.5-inch Super AMOLED curved display wraps around the wrist comfortably and allows users to check stats at a glance. The Gear Fit 2 comes in two options - small and large - to suit both tiny and big wrists.

Overall, the gadget is unobtrusive, sporting a sleek and discreet design that makes it suitable to wear even when not working out. When it comes to compatibility, the Samsung Gear Fit 2 can be paired with a Galaxy device with a minimum 1.5 GB of RAM and running Android 4.3 or higher, or other Android devices with a minimum 1.5 GB of RAM and Android 4.4 or higher.
