With the imminent release of the Samsung Galaxy S5 imminently on the horizon, Samsung has upped the ante in the marketplace by releasing a whole new line of wearables!

According to CNET, Samsung took to the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona a few days ago, and took the spectators by storm when they dropped their GearFit wearable. Like many other fitness watches on the market, the GearFit has a heart rate monitor, message notifications, and remote music controls. It's set to hit the general market in April.

The GearFit, unlike many other fitness watches, gets your Smartphone notifications on its display, though it doesn't have the functionality to actually do anything when it comes to the notifications. In addition, the bands are interchangeable, suggesting fashion as well as form.

In addition to the GearFit, Samsung has also introduced the Gear 2 and the Gear 2 Neo, according to The Verge. These two wearables are the logical follow-ups to the not-too-successful Galaxy Gear watch, which was largely criticized when it was released not long ago, and yielded disappointing sales. The Gear 2, unlike its predecessor, is thinner, lighter, has a better dual-core processor, comes with a heart rate monitor, can store and play music offline, acts as an IR TV remote, and comes with a whole new Tizen operating system under the hood instead of being Android-based.

The Gear 2, unlike its predecessor, also doesn't have a camera (which really served no point in the first edition of the Galaxy Gear anyway).

The Galaxy Gear received generally negative comments from critics. The design of the Gear itself was met with mixed reactions; although considered high quality, the incorporation of components directly into its strap was criticized for making it inflexible (and thus making the device hard to wear comfortably). The Gear was also criticized for the limited functionality of its apps, along with its initially inconsistent notification system. As an example, critics pointed out that the Android IMAP/POP3 email client was able to display full notifications with message previews on the Galaxy Gear, while Gmail was only able to display an icon and directed users to open the message on their phone instead. These limitations surrounding notifications were addressed in the Galaxy Gear's first firmware update, which allows all apps to display notifications with previews on the Galaxy Gear.
