I had to stop after the running machine bit to type this. Thanks for making my morning a little brighter. Always like to start the day with a smile : )

[@MatthewMoniz]

+DynamoTightstar haha no problem! Thanks for watching!

[@gramawalls]

I purchased one a week ago. I really like it. My battery life has been at least 2 plus days. I am happy. I love the sleekness and design. I like getting the notifications and the way you can respond to texts. So far I am very happy with it. I am a senior and really like the screen. Samsung always have an awesome display. I am using it with my Galaxy 7s. To me it is a keeper.

[@hardiksingh4138]

3k away from 60k great video an hope u reach the milestone soon

[@MatthewMoniz]

+Hardik Singh almost there! Thanks Hardik :)

[@hardiksingh4138]

Always welcome

[@MuhammedGalaxy7]

could you please tell me which one do I have to buy, the gear fit 2 or gear s 2 as my daily watch and activities tracker?

[@6644pmr]

quality review again Matt. I picked this up for my wife who usually doesn't get into smart watches due to how big they are on her small wrist. But since day one she's loved it. Samsung really nailed it.

[@MatthewMoniz]

Thanks! I'm glad she loves it! It fits nicely. The one in the video is the larger version but I'm sure the smaller one fits her perfectly.

[@arcadeparty4946]

gear fit 2 or s2 classic for fitness?

[@bgunit20]

What about media playback controls, like for Pandora for example.

[@akshay1am]

Can you access contacts and dial calls?

[@bgunit20]

Can it replace my Fitbit charge hr and Moto 360?

[@TurboTech22]

Awesome video and amazing shots! Gear fit 2 looks promising!

[@MatthewMoniz]

Thanks man! It certainly does!

[@techtranslated8218]

Gotta keep hydrated whilst destroying noobs on oberwatch💪😂 Great video Matthew!

[@MatthewMoniz]

ha! Thanks man!

[@805NAVE]

When ad where will the winners of the super sexy summer giveaway be announced?

[@jacknorman4667]

Yes I will buy it

[@mrkipling7072]

does it do continual heart rate monitoring when on a run to see real time on your wrist? thanks in advance

[@Iupliftyu]

Dave Ibbo yes it checks it throughout​the work out. just like at the hospital and the blood pressure cuff. every so often.

[@Ruddigore]

Bought it, use it and love it.. I own the Fitbit Charge and still use it because I have many, many months of data in the fitbit App, since buying the Gear Fit 2 however, the fitbit has been relegated to my trouser pocket. I also own the Microsoft Band 2 but I am rather disappointed with its companion App. I really do like the Gear Fit 2, it does everything I require it to do and the S Health App integrates seamlessly with it. The gear Fit 2 is stylish, comfortable to wear and easy to navigate. I love that it has GPS and I think it very reasonably priced. So, after many weeks of using it I am ultra happy with it. A great honest video by the way.

[@MatthewMoniz]

Nice! I'm glad you're liking it. Samsung did a good job with the gear fit 2 and quite honestly, I'd recommend it over the Gear S2, especially if you're into fitness. Thanks Christopher !

[@FatherOfDragonss]

you were paid for that comment. lol... what about the lousy strap that has the watch crashing to the floor and messing up the glass for those who actually exercise with it?

[@salujasunny]

hi bro is the gear fit 2 band is tight enough not to open accidentally ? I heard its loose 'wen u walk run etc etc

[@Ruddigore]

+sunnysaluja sunny I have had this device for some time now and it has never opened accidentally on my wrist. My exercise routine is rather gental, just hiking and treadmill workouts... I have seen other comments though where some folk have had problems... The wrist band is interchangeable so if you are worried you could always go for a different band for the gear fit 2.. Hope this helps.

[@salujasunny]

+Christopher Sola thanks bro .m using s7 edge and I am confused in between s2 and fit 2 ny suggestions bro?

[@wilkemp]

I agree with your review, it is a great fitness tracker with the above average features for notifications. My only issue is the battery life could be better, I get about a day and a half but I do push numerous notifications to it. Overall I would recommend especially since I got it free with my Note 7 purchase.

[@RajeshKaria]

Hi Matthew, thats a really nice review. Does the gear fit vibrate on 1) notification 2) when you are not moved for a long tome.

[@MatthewMoniz]

+Rajesh Karia Thanks Rajesh! That's correct it will vibrate when you get a notification and when youre not active for 50 minutes it will vibrate and turn on your screen advising you to get up and move

[@RajeshKaria]

thanks for your prompt reply Matthew. Since i am mostly into walking, running & biking, this looks perfect, just a perfect balance between a smart watch & fitness band.

[@KirkLindstromtcedg]

can't have anything getting in the way of pwning some nuubs lol. Great Video Matt!

[@MatthewMoniz]

haha definitely! Thanks Kirk = )

[@schlotdoglaser]

Matthew. I think I know the answer, but you don't need your phone on hand when you go workout do you?. I like the fact that I could load some music onto it and use that as my player and GPS recorder instead of taking out my expensive phone (even though it would be in a running arm band) and risk it getting damaged. Does this show google hangout messages? I currently have the Garmin Vivoactive and love it. It does most of what this one does but extremely limited in the apps you can get for it and will only display facebook message, email notifications (not the email itself) and text messages. It won't show Google Hangouts (which my wife and I use mostly).

[@MatthewMoniz]

Hi Keith, That's correct, if you load your music on the watch you don't need your phone and it does in fact show google hangout messages. You can also respond to messages with some of the pre-written text options it displays when you hit reply.

[@scottjayson72]

+Matthew Moniz You can also add your own pre-written text messages to use as replies...

[@TechLineHD]

great review and great gadget. I really think this is one of the better fitness trackers at the moment. However, the battery life could be better. I use the Xiaomi Mi Band 2 with 20 days battery life and it is awesome but I would love to have some features like GPS

[@MatthewMoniz]

Thanks man! I agree it's a great fitness tracker, especially if you're on Android. I've been meaning to try Xiaomi Mi band, the price looks great!

[@jaysvlogs6192]

Sweet!

[@AlisonRyce]

Thanks for the review! I've just received mine today and it's just what I needed! I got it so that I can track my water intake and the light workout routine I do 3x weekly. Telling the time, tracking my daily cups of water, the music app, and the countdown timer is exactly what I needed. Samsung did a great job with this watch!

[@MatthewMoniz]

You're welcome Alison! I agree it's a great watch! Did you buy it by itself or get it free with the Note 7?

[@AlisonRyce]

+Matthew Moniz I bought it on my own but I first heard about it because my boyfriend received his free with the purchase of his Note 7. We challenge each other with daily steps now which I enjoy! 😎

[@salujasunny]

+Matthew Moniz hi bro how the band of this watch heard it get opened by itself ?? it's loose is it true ? pls help

[@AlisonRyce]

+sunnysaluja sunny . Hopefully he will reply to you, but I've had no issues with the band. I purchased the size large (which was ok, but a little too big for my wrist) then exchanged it for a small (which fits perfect). I've worn it continuously for about a week now and it's never moved by itself.

[@salujasunny]

+Alison “allieIBC” Ryce aah That's nice may be m going to buy soon ..m using s7 edge , and m confused in between s2 and fit 2 Ny suggestions? Thanks in Advance

[@LuneTech]

nice review. it's nice that Samsung is including this with the note 7

[@MatthewMoniz]

Thanks! Ya, I agree the Gear or i believe th VR headset. I think in canada you have the option to get a 256 GB microsd card.

[@LuneTech]

+Matthew Moniz yea I'm gonna choose the 256gb as card cuz it has super fast read and write speeds which will be perfect for shooting video at high bit rates

[@tenzinyeshe7060]

nope its the gear fit 2 or the level pro bluetooth speaker.

[@LuneTech]

+Tenzin Yeshe T-Mobile has the option for a year of Netflix or the 256gb sd

[@jasonjury2945]

I noticed you were using it on a treadmill, did it accurately count your steps? I want to purchase this band but I've read a few reviews indicating it does not count steps on a treadmill which would be a deal-breaker for me?

[@MatthewMoniz]

Yup! It counts on the treadmill and it works on the elliptical too

[@jasonjury2945]

Thanks for the info and quick reply

[@MatthewMoniz]

Anytime!

[@ahmedtarek3782]

great video as always matt. i don't see the need for the fitness band for me.. i just take my protrek casio which i like for long term use .. it's heavy a little but i get used to it😁. besides that what tablets do your recommended that in market right now .. i like the ipad pro but it is too expensive here unfortunately😫. so what do u think??🙂

[@MatthewMoniz]

+Ahmed Tarek Thanks Ahmed! I don't really use one either but I do like the notification integration that comes with this fitness band. I still say get an iPad. Android tablets are still a mess.

[@ahmedtarek3782]

+Matthew Moniz do i have to convrt my videos to mp4 so i can watch on iPad?

[@FuzzyDereck]

Great review! I'm considering getting the Galaxy Note 7, & Samsung's current promo offers a free Gear Fit 2 or a 256gb SD card. I wanted to research the Gear Fit 2 cuz it might have more practical use than such a gigantic memory card, & I think this review clarified that for me, haha. I'm probably gonna get the Gear Fit 2! 👍

[@MatthewMoniz]

Thanks Dereck! I too would go with the Gear Fit 2 over the Sd Card = ) 64GB is enough and if you need more a micro sd card is super cheap.

[@FuzzyDereck]

Exactly! :P Btw, I subscribed! You're a pretty awesome tech channel. You're down to earth & thorough with reviews!

[@MatthewMoniz]

+Dereck Gutierrez Thanks man! I appreciate the kind words and welcome to the channel : )

[@prathameshpimputkar]

will i be able to recieve notifications for calls whatsapp and facebooks? and will it allows accepting and rejecting calls from band itself?

[@MatthewMoniz]

You will get notifications from whatsapp and facebook or any app you want. As for calls, you can reject them and if you accept the call on your band it will answer it on your phone.

[@prathameshpimputkar]

+Matthew Moniz Thank you soo much

[@xj-sl2fb]

thanks man, just bought one!

[@MatthewMoniz]

You're welcome! How are you liking it?

[@xj-sl2fb]

Matthew Moniz yeah it's great! love the gps and love the software! but the only downside is the lack of apps and the band. (as you said).

[@RagingBad]

I got it for free with my Note 7 so I don't care if it's nothing out of the ordinary

[@solara2966]

Same lol

[@lenarose5706]

nothing is free

[@PeninjaPlaysTheThing]

Intrepid Idea shut the fuck up

[@imjacobl1521]

Woah! Never thought the Gear Fit 2 can do that much... now I want to buy one. Lol, but doesn't have enough money :'( Great review though.

[@miranda325tx]

can i listen to podcasts with this?

[@hunterborman2887]

I've yet to find a Fitness Tracker that would work with bike tracking (gps). Most of them out there are large or way to expensive; but if this is shipped with the Note 7, then it may be a viable option.

[@MatthewMoniz]

This will be a sweet addition to the Note 7 = ) If you get it let me know how you like it!

[@schlotdoglaser]

+hunter.....I have the Garmin Vivoactive. It has built in GPS tracking and it will track bike rides. It is a sweet watch that last 6 to 7 days on a charge. I am probably going to get this one though with my Note 7 upgrade.

[@acesauce_media]

great review makes me want a note 7 more so I can get this for free and a great phone

[@MatthewMoniz]

+Brian Brooks Thanks Brian! It will be a nice addition to the note 7 for sure!

[@zawarkhan4022]

nice video mate just bought the fit bit 2

[@stevendallaire9550]

With the fact that I have a Samsung gear s2 classic. I don't think I would get this. Seems to be the only difference is the gps tracking. Though if this was available in February when I bought my watch I think I would have taken this.

[@MatthewMoniz]

+Steven Dallaire I agree if you have the gear s2 which I have as well I wouldn't get this and of course if both were out at the same time I'd probably lean towards the gear fit 2

[@jamesgarcelo]

It is fit and beautiful in hand. nice because it has GPS. :-) thank sir Matt!!!

[@MatthewMoniz]

You're welcome! Thanks James for watching!

[@jamesgarcelo]

+Matthew Moniz your greatly welcome sir, it is my responsibility to watch your videos cause I promise you so. :-) thanks a lot sir Matt!!

[@lour58]

selling mines never used...Getting it by saturday.

[@tele_alan]

I always want to get a smart watch of some sort, but the thing is that the technology will eventually be outdated. So I just stick to one really nice classic watch. I really want wait till smartwear hit their peek. I want one so badly

[@MatthewMoniz]

You can't go wrong with a classic watch it always tells the time and you don't need to charge it = )

[@zackgoodman5856]

I might buy that...

[@MatthewMoniz]

Nice ! If you do let me know how you like it!

[@zackgoodman5856]

+Matthew Moniz Yeah thinking about it haha

[@dralfaisal95]

can it work without pairing it to a phone?

[@MatthewMoniz]

Yup it has wifi built-n and you'll still receive notifications withouit your phone.

[@dralfaisal95]

+Matthew Moniz Great

[@jinkxkng]

I got mine with the note 7.i really haven't found a use for it beyond using it as a watch.

[@marcusmcdow3]

how long did it take them to send your free gear fit 2

[@jinkxkng]

I received it in about a 2 weeks

[@Jon_Light]

This is totally good for my father whose in fitness. :)

[@MatthewMoniz]

+Jonaid Noor nice! Get one for him for his birthday or as a present :)

[@Jon_Light]

Very soon after my college studies :)

[@gregk5505]

Should I get this or the 256gb sd card with my note 7 as a gift?

[@MatthewMoniz]

Get the Gear FIt 2. The 256GB sd card is useless. You'll never use all the space and you can buy a 32 or 64 for very cheap.

[@gregk5505]

that is true but i can also sell the sd card and have cash so that is an option considering the sd card costs more

[@Implosion-Gaming]

+Greg K I guess that makes sense too...

[@HealthyLiving.7]

Did u just advertise the Amazon App Store? Doesn't Amazon App store take their sweet time for updating apps? That's always been my dilemma. Google Play Store would showcase an app's update and the same app on Amazon App Store would take eons to update. I'd rather pay full price.

[@gavinwhite1606]

I have one I've been using it for a couple days I like it my goal is to walk about 10,000 steps and I do a little bit so that no one can help me I can answer phone calls on it let me know what you need I can tell you what else

[@capshoe]

I would get one but it's so expensive...

[@MatthewMoniz]

It's not too bad $150 US

[@ultragearz2.036]

i got it free with my s7

[@luiztech2637]

Ultra Gearz 2.0 me too in Australia

[@panocha-peluda4265]

👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@MatthewMoniz]

Thanks Adrian!

[@hannahabdullah5997]

Shalom I have the watch and I am in love with it, it's so comfortable I only take it off to shower.

[@khd8667]

this one awesome I'm satisfied with it tizen 100000 better than shit android wear

[@MatthewMoniz]

Nice! Glad you like it. I too like Tizen, minus the no app part!

[@hannahabdullah5997]

Shalom I have the watch and I am in love with it, it's so comfortable I only take it of to shower.

[@MatthewMoniz]

Nice! Glad you're liking it! It's a great watch!

[@Am979100]

Only ladies and girly boys use ellipticals. Just so you know :-)

[@MatthewMoniz]

and only a real man or woman show their face on their thumbnail = ) Just so you know!

[@Am979100]

My god I must be a fake human.

[@rickliang]

No need atm, I still like my digital watch that tells me the time😂

[@MatthewMoniz]

That's the one great thng about a classic watch it doesn't need to be recharged every night!

[@steviewonder2049]

who the fuck would go to the effort of farting about with the watch to log they had drunk a glass of water 6 times a day
