this coverage of MWC is brought to you by bitdefender mobile security hey in Strasbourg our firm Android auto what's going on everybody and we're moving from the Samsung Galaxy s5 a little bit to head on over to the Samsung gear fit now they did drop the galaxy named for their wearables and maybe primarily that's the reason why is because it's not running an Android iteration anymore this is Tizen that we're looking at here so I'm going to go through some of the features of the gear fit manager as you can see here on the galaxy s5 which allows you to manage the software that is on the gear fit a wrist band right there I'm just getting a little distracted you're looking at just a beautiful screen that's on the gear fit this will go on your wrist and it just looks really cool in your wrist and gives you all the information that you need when you're doing workouts but also it also does things like control the media allows you to find your device and also it gives you some of your notifications so those are exactly the things we're going to take a look at in this future focus so what will happen here is we'll take a look at the clocks and there are quite a few available as you can see right here there's a lot of them the one that you probably would like the most and one that I personally really enjoy is the style clock if we hit the style clock and head back as you can see right here the style clock came up it's this lovely one with the words when you look at the home background you'll have something like the color palette which will allow you to pick something simplistic just like one color in the background let's try it for an Android Authority green right here and you'll press this right here and you will see it changes and you have the green on the gear fit now has your another one that comes up is in the wallpapers now I like this one very much let's take a look at the more images you'll look at your gallery and you'll see a lot of different images that are permeated all throughout your us your smartphone and let's say we'll take a look at one of the pictures that was taken of the hot-air balloons and you'll get a crop right here that allows you to select a particular portion of the SmartWatch and when you hit done it will cut it up and send it straight to the fit so once we get into the actual notifications themselves there are some options here like relating the information from the fit to the actual smartphone itself you can add a preview of the message that you're getting the notification to the gear fit when it comes on and also here are some of the notifications that you can't get everything from missed calls to voicemails to emails and of course you can have more notifications from third-party applications and here they are now the gear fit has to be set up for notifications in the accessibility settings of your exams on galaxy s5 or related device but once that is activated you can pick all of the different applications that you want to get those notifications from so let's take a look at the actual functionality of the fit itself I'm not going to put it on this time but as I told you before if you have it on your wrist like say right here I find it a little bit just a little bit odd because you're if you're looking this way you kind of have to look at it at an angle it's a little bit odd ultimately especially especially if you're working out maybe not wearing it like this all the time I would probably prefer it to be on the bottom portion of my wrist so that I could lift my hand up and look at it this way it seems a little bit easier to me in this fashion if we head on over we have the notifications like I showed you before no notifications this time because none came up and also the media controller when you have your phone let's say in your pocket while you're working out and you have a Bluetooth headset or even headphones connected to your Samsung Galaxy s5 you can control you can control your music playing using this so it's easy for you to change the song let's say if you're going out for a jog find your device obviously if we're going to find the device I'm going to have the galaxy s5 right here and I'll head there and here is the galaxy s5 telling me I'm over here go ahead and just swipe that out head on over to the next page and we have the pedometer which I showed you already and it allows you to really count your steps so you know just how far you've been walking or running all day there is also an exercise tracker for various forms of exercise in this case it's mostly distant stuff like running walking and then just even a hiking mode over on the side now a couple of you commented that my heart rate is kind of high well that's not my resting heart rate just like right now I've been filming all of these videos for you guys out there looking to provide you the best content possible and running around with these cameras obviously my heart rate might be a little bit higher but there you go it's in contact with my skin and the light should be on measuring my heart rate underneath my skin there and let's see what it is it's probably Oh 80 right now well I did have a bit of a break so it looks like my heart rate is a little bit more normal at this point and ultimately it's just a really nice companion for all those times that you're going to be working out either running jogging or otherwise but it's also something that you might want to keep on because it is rather thin it's not too thick and it allows you to just be able to snap it on and off of your wrist very easily and it actually looks quite stylish so this is Josh of Agartha ma'am Jordan thority here at Samsung at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona Spain bringing you all of the great coverage of the new products coming out of Samsung's line
