0:45 THANK YOU for mentioning you can in fact set it always-on :) What is the battery life if one only use it as an always-on smartwatch? Would it still last 2 days as samsung claims? 6:00 Are third party IM apps compatible, or only the apps in that list you just showed? Does it actually have google maps installed on the watch or not? Because i saw some screenshots of it showing a map while someone had a run route selected. Would be awesome to use it for basic navigation in city holidays. Set a walk route and not have to worry about pulling out your phone.
Hi, nice review. I have had mine now for about 6 months and (pretty much) love it. Quick question: Can you charge it via a wall charger? How about via a power bank?
I saw another video where they say the heart monitor does not work (or turns on) when you tell the fit2 you are doing weight lifting. is that true? I think most people do weight lifting and/or crossfit and they want to keep a heart rate (goal) through the session. please explain. thank you!
Great video. I already have Gear S2 classic and I want to buy this. Someone told me that there is no way to connect both gears on gear app !!! Anyone have tried this? Appreciate the answers.
I'm seriously considering the Samsung Gear fit 2 for it's music and bluetooth connectivity, but does anybody know if it has the Fitbit charge 2's cool interval training feature? I'm specifically interested in the taptic buzz signal every so often so I don't have to keep one eye on the stopwatch.
I just hope they dont release an update to the display that utterly dims the brightness to unwatchable levels, like the recent AOD Service update for the S7 (cant even see the AOD anymore indoors, too dim).
video request... Samsung gear fit 2 vs. Garmin Vivoactive HR? I know they're different but wanted to see which device was meant for what kind of user. Just a suggestion :)
nice review, thanks. A quick question: I was playing with a demo device and when I tried to track 'other workout' from the exercise menu, I saw that the HR monitor was not working! have u noticed something similar? this means that when u are at the gym doing generic activities (eg circuit training), it won't track ur heart rate?
Probably the unit that you testes was damaged, but as mentioned it should start tracking after some minutes of workout or you can tell the band to start tracking by your own.
+Joshua Clivaz unfortunately it does not. I confirmed it with other people that own the device. the fact that it does not give you a live feedback of ur heart rate on the screen (like it does in some exercises like running and rowing) means that is not programmed to monitor your heart rate continuously (when u select the 'other workout' option). that is disappointing for me, because when I'm training at the gym I like to have a feedback on when to hit my peaks and when I'm getting too lazy. hopefully Samsung will correct that, or maybe some 3rd party apps will do the job.
Eddie scrosese by the way Samsung really struggling hard to have grab on Smartwatches and fitness tracker gadgets, SM-R600 Samsung Wearable Device has Certification of Bluetooth SIG www.techeligible.com/2017/08/06/sm-r600-samsung-wearable-device/
regarding your question for text this watch wont give you much option to text only small reply like yes and no, or busy and some smiley faces, and for voice call when connected to a phone you can answer or reject from the watch but should be connected to a Bluetooth headset or if not connected you can hold the phone and use the headset of your device. this fitness band and not a smart watch. i used it for activities only. buy the S3 it can do what this watch can do but that will be bigger and not fit for sports.
I don't see that it has an alaram clock featutue. Do you know if it will work with the notification portion off the Gear Fit app in conjunction with the phones alarm clock app?
I read a comment on a forum in regard to This being usable on the apple platform, as it's on the grapevine take it with a grain of salt. it was said that it is capable of being used on the apple platform , but they are waiting for Apple to give permission. In light of apples iron grip on its own platform, i wouldn't hold your breath.
I had this device as well as the Microsoft Band that you have on the desk on the video. I did not like the Samsung Band Fit 2 because I think it is overpriced for $180. It feels flimsy and cheap on its own (because it is made of plastic) and so much more when compared to the Microsoft Band. The letters on the Samsung Fit2 are very small forcing me to put on glasses to read the notifications. That plus the not so bright display on sunny days makes it very difficult for people suffering from age related presbicia to read. At least the Microsoft Band 2 has a zooming function. I like the vertical display and the 4 GB memory on the Samsung Gear 2 but not enough to justify the $180 price tag. Hence, I took it back to the store and do not recommend it.
Thanks for the in depth review. I've been looking at this since the reveal last week.
Thanks for the review! I've watched several video reviews of the Gear Fit 2 and so far I like yours the best! :)
thanks for the review, I picked one up today on June 10th for the release date.
This is the best review I've watched this far of the Gear Fit 2. I really enjoyed it. Convinced me to get one. Thank you very much.
how do u change the time on the gear fit 2. Can't seem to figure it out
Good review thank you !
what does the GPS do for the watch
How do you change your steps goal?
Hi, can you test it, whats the battery life in GPS mode? thanks
Would it show pace when running
Could you please verify the heart rate monitor? How is the accuracy compare to Germin vivosmart HR and micrsoft band? Thank you.
nice review

Hi, nice review. I have had mine now for about 6 months and (pretty much) love it. Quick question: Can you charge it via a wall charger? How about via a power bank?
are whatsapp notifications also showed on the watch?
How well will this work with Google Fit app?
does it track heart rate continuously?
Is it able to track my eating per day (meal tracking incl kcal/carbos etc) ??!
I saw another video where they say the heart monitor does not work (or turns on) when you tell the fit2 you are doing weight lifting. is that true? I think most people do weight lifting and/or crossfit and they want to keep a heart rate (goal) through the session. please explain.
thank you!
How much usable capacity in gear fit 2?
Great video.
I already have Gear S2 classic and I want to buy this. Someone told me that there is no way to connect both gears on gear app !!! Anyone have tried this? Appreciate the answers.
Curious, what size band is that...? And how big are your wrists.. I think I'm in between sizes
I'm seriously considering the Samsung Gear fit 2 for it's music and bluetooth connectivity, but does anybody know if it has the Fitbit charge 2's cool interval training feature? I'm specifically interested in the taptic buzz signal every so often so I don't have to keep one eye on the stopwatch.
Over the shoulder camera angle is really weird.
how much??
the heart monitor is 24/7 ?
can we control music with any other music app? like google play or anything else other than spotify?
yes
I just hope they dont release an update to the display that utterly dims the brightness to unwatchable levels, like the recent AOD Service update for the S7 (cant even see the AOD anymore indoors, too dim).

شكرا للعرض
It works only with Samsung devices or other android devices as well as gear S2 ?
it works with Android 4.4+ devices with 1.5 Gb RAM
does it get hot?
Eddie scrosese by the way Samsung really struggling hard to have grab on Smartwatches and fitness tracker gadgets,
SM-R600 Samsung Wearable Device has Certification of Bluetooth SIG
www.techeligible.com/2017/08/06/sm-r600-samsung-wearable-device/
Did they fix the problem with it coming off the wrist? I've read alot of older reviews saying it was a problem.
Sig Shooter 11
What's that mean? lol
gear s2 and gear fit 2 both work on devices 4.4 kit kat or newer and have 1.5gb of ram.
did it mention anything about text or voice calls?
regarding your question for text this watch wont give you much option to text only small reply like yes and no, or busy and some smiley faces, and for voice call when connected to a phone you can answer or reject from the watch but should be connected to a Bluetooth headset or if not connected you can hold the phone and use the headset of your device. this fitness band and not a smart watch. i used it for activities only. buy the S3 it can do what this watch can do but that will be bigger and not fit for sports.

I would prefer that if it is circuilar like moto 360 then it looks better
I don't see that it has an alaram clock featutue. Do you know if it will work with the notification portion off the Gear Fit app in conjunction with the phones alarm clock app?
Is it waterproof? Can it be worn in the shower?
You should see a doctor, that resting heart rate is too high.
shes filming a video not resting
didnt even mention battery life?

cute arms & nice fit2 :)
So it doesnt have all day heart tracking? I thought it did..
Damn she's got a quick heartbeat... lol
looks ok but not as good as my moto 360 sport.
i'm curently using this band... and it sucks.. it is NOT COMPATIBLE to MOST android phones... only a handfull of compatible phones

Apple wake up???
Cute girl, but hairy arms, phew.....
Do not buy it, i did and the wrist band is fundamentally flawed and will come off easily. I didnt read the reviews and I lost mine within 2 months.
