Samsung's Gear Fit2 Pro is one of our favorite fitness trackers. In fact, it sometimes feels more like more than a fitness tracker, thanks to what Tizen can do.

The Galaxy app store provides a lot of apps and watch faces for you to peruse, but that can present the problem of too much choice. Which are the best apps and watch faces for your Samsung fitness tracker?

Read this: The best Samsung Gear watch faces

Lucky you, as we've put together a selection of our favorites. Gather around, friends, and take a look.

Butterflies

Want something both calming and beautiful? Butterflies is the watch face for you. It's not going to give you all the information in the world, but it's going to put a smile on your face every time you look at it. The always-on version is also cute, with a nice little butterfly outline floating above the time.

Elegant

The best Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro apps and watch faces

If you're looking for something a little more kooky, there's Elegant. It's not actually elegant, but it does look like something straight out of Alice in Wonderland. It's enough to get you drinking tea with the Mad Hatter, and the purple-y lines in the background remind us a lot of the Cheshire Cat.

Star Wars Heroes

The best Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro apps and watch faces

Alright, you rebel scum. It's time to join the Resistance and vanquish The First Order for good. All you'll have to do is download this watch face to your Gear Fit, and you'll get to have your favorite Star Wars hero from all three trilogies on your wrist. That's how it works, right? Sorry, no Poe Dameron.

Echo Minimal

The best Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro apps and watch faces

The cool thing about always-on displays is they give you information all the time. Unfortunately, many always-on watch faces don't give you all the information you want or need. That's why we're digging Echo Minimal. This face gives you all the information. The only change you'll see is the background, which goes from a grey to a black when the display turns to always-on mode.

Rugged Worn Blue Fit

The best Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro apps and watch faces

So many watch faces want to look classy, or give you a wrist full of neon. The Rugged Worn opts for something a little different. It seems to even take inspiration from denim. You'll get the hour in blue and the minutes in white, and around them some of your fitness information.

Basic Black

The best Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro apps and watch faces

Ever wonder why the Apple Watch's interface is mostly black? It's to preserve battery life, because color requires a lot more juice from OLED displays than black does. Basic Black mimics that idea, giving you a pure black watch face all the time, which is both subtle and power-conscious.

Sea & Sky

The best Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro apps and watch faces

Sometimes you just need to get away from the hustle and bustle of urban life. You just need to take in some nature. Maybe the beautiful, crashing waves of the ocean. Or the open sky. Sea & Sky will take you to both places.

Pip-Boy 3000

The best Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro apps and watch faces

Getting an actual Pip-Boy 3000 for your wrist isn't practical because, well, Bethesda stopped selling them. The next best thing is to download this watch face for your Gear Fit2 Pro. Just like the virtual edition, you'll get all your metrics right on your wrist. If you're feeling a bit down though, definitely do not ingest any radioactive Nuka Cola.

Classic Style by GV

The best Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro apps and watch faces

The Gear Fit2 Pro's rectangular screen makes it the perfect home for a nice homage to the old, classic rectangular watches. Enter Classic Style, which recreates that vintage look with a few new complications. You've got your battery life and heart rate up at the top.

Under Armour Daily Tracker

The best Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro apps and watch faces

Under Armour already makes its suite of fitness apps available for the Gear Fit2 Pro. You'll get to choose three statistics you can keep on your face, and you can choose from things like calories remaining until you hit your goal, steps, water intake, caffeine, heart rate and more.

The best apps

Spotify

One of the advantages that Samsung's wearables have over the competition is Spotify, giving it access to the most popular music service in the world. If you're a premium user, you'll be able to stream via Wi-Fi. You'll also be able to save your music to your Gear Fit2 Pro for offline playback. Get your music on, indeed.

GoPro Shutter

On an adventure and want a simple way to record your big kayaking run? Download the GoPro Shutter and get ready to remotely start your GoPro recording. This unofficial app is also compatible with every GoPro from as early back as the Hero3.

$3, Samsung Gear store

MapMyRun

One of the crown jewels of the Under Armor suite, MapMyRun lets you track your runs with the Gear Fit2 Pro's built-in GPS. You'll also get statistics like your heart rate and pace. There are also challenges that you can indulge in when you need that extra bit of motivation.

Speedo On

The best Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro apps and watch faces

In our experience, the built-in swim tracking of the Gear Fit2 Pro isn't the best. Luckily, Speedo's app picks up the slack pretty well. You'll get instant metrics from your swims right on your wrist, and you'll even get access to time trials so that you can track your progress. And don't worry, there's a swim lock mode that'll keep water from accidentally turning off your session or opening another app.

Lifesum

Lifesum is already one of the best health apps out there, and its Gear Fit2 Pro edition is just beautiful to use. You'll be able to add food and water intake right from your wrist. It'll also tell you how your energy is doing for the day.

Pear Personal Coach

Pear is all about audio coaching your fitness, and Pear for Gear Fit2 Pro will let you keep your phone at home. If you sign up for Pear's subscription service, you'll also get access to hundreds of workouts, from HIIT to treadmill to yoga. It's all here, and it's all in your ear if you get a solid pair of Bluetooth headphones.
