Fitbit Flex 2 Review!

[@noelperalta4975]

rip pebble 2016 never forgotten

[@argixer]

the random placement of the fitbit really speaks to me.....yes i do see my fitbit up in a tree one day

[@GiselleHeart]

🤪

[@brennandodds]

I can also see having my Fitbit impaled on a metal rod too

[@carolynrice6383]

Thank you so much for being direct about the pros and cons, how this thing works. My husband got me one for Christmas and neither of us know anything about them. This seems to be the best pick for me for now, since I'm just starting out. Keep up the great videos! Thank you!!

[@teresadebaie1569]

i have had fitbit flex 2 for a couple of years and just put it in a drawer. So just got it out today. I hope I can make use of it this time. I will keep you posted. Any little tricks to this would be appreciated.

[@skylarhaile2188]

I love it I got one for Christmas today and it is the most one of my favorite Christmas presents it really helps me track my steps since I played basketball softball and I dance I really like this cuz it's waterproof waterproof and that you don't have to charge it but every 5 days

[@rb391]

Great review! Went back to an analog watch from an Apple watch. All I want is basic activity tracking. Looks like the Flex 2 will handle it!

[@najeebzafar241]

Actually just picked this up a couple weeks ago and have been very satisfied. Just mirroring your sentiments in the video; I like the app and the social element to it. Tracking sleep and my water goal is great too, and it even recorded my sports activity in Bowling (the graph was hilarious)! I can't complain about anything and I think it's quite worth it

[@playerslayer4577]

I refuse to accept the market of this fitness band as a company, ever since those monsters killed Pebble. NOW IM STUCK WITH A GEAR S2 FOR LIFE, WTF????!!!!!!!

[@playerslayer4577]

*I meant maker, not market

[@dvdossbsvskfbdvav]

CAN PEOPLE PLEASE USE THE EDIT BUTTON, IT'S THERE FOR A REASON LOOK, THIS ONE'S EDITED, WHY CAN'T YOURS BE

[@2010ngojo]

Cause he's a fool. Pebble was already going under. It was inevitable.

[@roshankn8670]

mi band 2 is the best! also gets about a month battery life and its much cheaper

[@georgeosborn421]

Roshan kn i had a mi band 2 and the flex 2 and the flex is so much more accurate and the hr sensor and the mi band makes it so uncomfortable to wear the flex is so comfortable

[@Cyberslugg77]

Is it too much to ask for a decent fitness tracking wristband with heart rate monitoring that doesn’t need a monthly subscription

[@duelking349]

Uhhh u dont lol

[@paracha3]

had the first one and hated it. the rubber started to crack fairly quickly and replacement was like $14. bought Xiaomi mi band 2 at one third the Price with heart rate monitor and great app. loving it so far.

[@dannix5802]

Hey great review thanks! What camera did you record footage on please? 🙋🏼

[@georgesmarvellousmedicine5094]

This video really helped me to decide which Fitbit to get

[@franck2k5]

I bought it and it wouldn't connect to my phone. Sent it back

[@RogerMooreFan1]

@Android Authority Great video! Thanks for the review! I'very decided to buy the Flex 2 at some point soon. Do you happen to know if it'still compatible with the Samsung Galaxy s6? Thanks!

[@PewPewLookout]

is that the bioneer? immediate thumbs up for respect

[@MrHemsleyboy]

I'll stick to my Jawbone Up3.. Even though the ability to swap bands wold be helpful.

[@ashdeekhairuddin5263]

Huge follower of The Bioneer, btw

[@tymonmecinski7603]

Is it TheLegend27?

[@GenaroJaramillo__]

Smartwatch Authority?

[@digi4998]

Genaro S. Jaramillo-Guitton no.

[@Jay_Thanki]

Why not just use your phone to count your steps using Fitbit Mobile Tracker?

[@digi4998]

Jay Thanki because that’s all u can do

[@williamlee2142]

Why is the battery so terrible? My Mi Band last for at least 60 days with message notification & few daily alarms going off. Also just upgraded to the Mi Band 2 with OLED display, that last at least 20 days.

[@Peeps86]

I would get it if it was $20

[@randomaccount53793]

Peeps001 get the mi band 2 then

[@ariq94]

Peeps001 get the mi band 2, you wont regret it

[@Peeps86]

That looks good. Thanks

[@randomaccount53793]

I've had it for 4 days now. It's pretty good for tracking the basics of fitness. The HR monitor is a pretty neat addition as well. And automatic sleep tracking is awesome (I'm looking at you android wear)

[@ArushPrashantYogashraya]

No heart rate monitor is a bummer.

[@pdr9999]

Pebble :/

[@froidesprit]

If it killed Pebble, then it is _not_ for me.

[@fibk]

Ethan Education They saved what was left to save, the great pebble Os.

[@froidesprit]

I still think pebble deserved better, such as being bought out by Martian, or maybe Nokia Withings. I'd have loved to see a pioneer in wearables be acquired by a pioneer in mobile. At least Pebble went into debt doing what they did best: creating great smartwatches at an affordable price.

[@fibk]

Ethan Education Withings would've been perfect! Im just happy that they just didnt disappear. I think their Os is one of the good ones.

[@froidesprit]

I know. The only thing that could make me buy a Fitbit is if it used the Timeline OS in a Fitbit with the Pebble branding. Sadly, even though it would legally be a Pebble watch, it would still just be a shadow of Pebble, since the hardware division wasn't acquired, only the software and intellectual property. And who says Nokia can't have two smartwatch divisions? Alphabet owns both Google Capital and GV, formerly Google Ventures. They do essentially the same thing in the eyes of people not in the industry. Pebble would have made a great sister company to Withings. If Nokia Pebble can't sustain itself, it would get folded into Withings. Easy when they're both owned by the same company.

[@briantanzw]

MI band is better in everyway and way cheap. Have a display and a heart rate monitor and 2 week battery life

[@k3ntris]

Miband is a good alternative, but the iOS version of the app is SEVERELY lacking in features. I have a Miband 1S and the app is terrible on iOS. I'd happily pay this price if it meant the app is a lot more feature rich.

[@greg5756]

Can you guys do a review on the Oppo R9/R9+

[@АнатолийКириллов-р3п]

how to specify the length of the pool?

[@alexwang1465]

Sony swr30 and Xiaomi mi band 2 is better

[@PaceyPimp]

Does this still work in 2024 and does it require a subscription ?

[@sphereplays]

Unfortunately not. It stopped syncing in January 1st 2024. I have 4 fitbits and the inspire 3 will probably be my last one unless this comes back. I would pay so much for this. But even when you buy one, it won’t sync. And battery life has worsed.

[@indianvoice8684]

please review blackberry dtek 60

[@neilsgeorge4198]

Google now in India now supports music recognition

[@neilsgeorge4198]

oops mistake no it doesn't work in India

[@dragonfist]

why would I buy this since we have Xiaomi's MiBand2???

[@ariq94]

dragonfistbs ikr!

[@MrMunch-xw9fn]

dragonfistbs miband2 is not waterproof, heart rate monitor is not accurate and says in instructions to not use during exercise, also the biggest drawback is that it has a display. most people are particular about their watches. don't need a cheap one the display is better on phone anyways. the only thing it may be better at is the silent vibrate alarm may be more pronounced. but then again if you get water on it it won't do nothing. ipx 67 is Not waterproof. it is Dust and supersoaker waterproof at best. dont submerge it and wouldn't recommend even showering

[@aminurrashid9211]

Can i left my phone 500meters from flex 2? Cause i didnt bring my phone during exercise or jogging..

[@experiencewithmartin972]

yes you can

[@robinsadieh1016]

Thanks!!

[@blackstarafro2]

So it is a Nike fuel smart band .

[@yvsmadhav]

'sneaky way' good

[@mothe]

80 usd fitbit vs 10 usd xiaomi miband. well, would choose fitbit really

[@FA_2_Pilot]

moth just purchased both- we'll see how they work

[@aaron-kurz]

Which do you like better?

[@karthikajay8807]

Rachel Maxwell which one is better?

[@JustAnAverageUser]

Why Pebble why

[@davidlove6145]

Great review.

[@mithunsrk]

miband is a lot better and hell a lot cheaper

[@Vanchit19]

better how?

[@mithunsrk]

Better because 1. MI shows notifications, count steps and track ur sleep just like this one does. Also both lack GPS 2. Mi has Heart rate monitor while this doesn't. 3. Mi claims a battery life of upto 30 days while it lasts around 35-38 days. But this crap needs charging every 5 days. The application is refined as well. The price is roughly around INR 1000 while this costs INR 9500 Don't u think mi is a much sweeter deal?

[@Vanchit19]

mithun hegde mi software is pretty bad compared to Fitbit, and which model exactly has hr monitor? Can you tell me specifically? I will check it out

[@EdiUtomoPutra]

miband 1s and miband 2 has HR monitor :) and in my country indonesia miband 2only cost $26,

[@hohashehahohe294]

this or the Xiaomi mi band 2?

[@ariq94]

Ho Ha She Ha Ho He mi band 2, it is great, i has a heart rate monitor, unlike this. go check it out for its spec

[@Krikals15]

Are you kidding? MiBand 2 is much better and cheaper with real screen, 15d of battery etc

[@matti7175]

Krikals15 shoot I ordered my flex 2 today lol

[@digi4998]

Does it work with windows phone?

[@alchemicrb]

screw Fitbit and their acquisition of pebble.

[@VeshSneaks]

Pebble was going under without them anyway. Most of the $40mil they paid went towards paying Pebbles debts

[@alchemicrb]

***** I know, I've companies come back from worst. If they want to bail, fine, but to tell us the current watches may start to lose functionality, that's whats annoying. Fitbit has the ability to support the watches in the wild and are choosing not to. That's why I say screw fitbit.

[@VeshSneaks]

True. The lack of support is a shitty position for them to take and it's a shame for anyone who did buy the new Pebbles. I only ever had the OG Pebble and the Steel, so I was getting less and less anyway. Then I got an Apple Watch and... well, yeah. From what I can gather it was more of an acquihire for fitbit, they wanted the talent and patents for their own stuff. It might have something to do with an interesting part of the announcement. Fitbit said they had "acquired specific assets of Pebble", which suggests they didn't get the whole company.

[@alchemicrb]

***** That's correct. a shame. I had the og pebble and a pebble time. Have had it for about 18 months so I did get my moneys worth. I was looking at getting a g3 before the announcement so not the worst thing in my case, but I feel almost like I may get forced into the upgrade now.

[@Duempelfried]

Moms spaghetti

[@gtaeduardo]

Look's like nabu x

[@MSL00]

Mi Band 2 much better for the money

[@ariq94]

Micha Lukas ikr!

[@raywei8472]

This is not Android

[@raywei8472]

FluffyChickensFTW Mars I meant the product

[@hirundine]

"Tons of other stuff"? Mixing metaphors ...

[@deivimontes]

If matt damon uses thi i will too

[@grodius]

nothing about Sleep? did I miss it,

[@ArkaPratimSamajdwar]

2:42

[@grodius]

TY Sounds like sleep is still not great like every other fitness tracker ive used

[@EthaSound]

Incredibly overpriced compared to something like the Mi Band 2, which has up to 4 times the battery life (depending on use), includes a god damn screen, and is MUCH cheaper.

[@jerzy1636]

Ok

[@mdamaged]

As a company they are horrible, their are people that have been asking for certain important features for years, and have hundreds of posts on their own forum asking for them, and they go ignored, will never buy another thing from these douches ever again.

[@milicapetroska3658]

hey! :)

[@trentstegvz]
