Samsung brought in its first Galaxy Gear back in 2013 and it has come a long way. Moreover, 2019 has been pretty solid for the Korean manufacturer and it also did not shy away from adding new products to its wearable lineup.

Giving direct competition to fitness bands from Xiaomi, Samsung launched Galaxy Fit e which is the most affordable fitness band from Samsung that features heart-monitoring features.
