Exercise function, must say that the GALAXY S5 LTE and Gear 2 will be your best running companions ever! First of all, both the GALAXY S5 LTE and Gear 2 are water and dust resistant with IP67 rating so you don’t have to worry about sweat or drizzle when you are on the go! It can track the heart rate, the distance covered, running routes you take, how fast you go and most importantly, you can set your personal goals and the Enhanced S Health app will constantly remind you to keep up with your chosen pace.
There’s also the Pedometer, which can keep track of how many steps you take in a day! For me I set a goal to hit 10,000 steps everyday! So if I am not able to hit it, I will go for a quick walk around. This really helps a lot, especially for people who are always driving or always in the office. You can add a good 10-20min daily workout to hit the target number of steps and release some stress! Sleep tracking is another very important function to me – because not only do we need to sleep for 8 hours a day, we need quality sleep during those 8 hours as well. Sleeping from 12am to 8am is 8 hours of rest; however, if you are constantly moving during 50% of the time, your body is not fully at rest! In extreme cases, I would even suggest getting some sleep aid like ZMA supplements or have some hot chocolate before bed to improve your sleep. So far, I do not have any sleeping problems. In fact, I’m motionless 80% of the time. The only problem is that I am not getting enough sleep every day, so to improve my sleep I will try to sleep earlier!!
The Samsung Gear 2 comes with a 4GB internal memory for you to store your favorite music, for those times when you forget to bring your phone out! It is also able to sync wirelessly via Bluetooth to your headset to give you music on the go! There are a few more functions available in your Samsung Gear 2, such as the 2MP camera and voice memo. These can be really useful when you need to record something spontaneously. Other than the health functions mentioned, the Samsung Gear 2 can also be used as a remote control for your television and set-top box, via the WatchON Remote app. With just a few simple steps, you will be able to have full control! *If you are at the coffee shop and you don’t like what is playing you can change it!! * (don’t get caught)
