#Samsung gear fit manager android update#
Now that you’ve got it paired, it’ll update the firmware on the Gear Fit. So, once you get that downloaded, then you can pair with the Gear Fit device. That is of course different from the standard Google Play store. First, I had to get the Samsung Gear Fit Manager app, via the Samsung Apps store. This is where things got a bit…non-awesome. Thus, instead, I dug up one of the 382 other micro-USB cables around the house and used that instead to charge from my laptop.įrom there it was time to get everything all configured. This is awkward only in that most people these days want to be able to just plug the micro-USB charging cable straight into your laptop or other USB port. It uses a small attachment that has a female micro-USB connector on it, along with a male micro-USB cable hard-set into an outlet plug. The charging cable setup is a bit interesting. Inside the box you’ll find some instructions as well as the unit, a charging cable, and a small quick start guide. So with that brief intro, let’s start with some basics. Mostly, because its screen is so pretty that anything else would distract my attention from it. I don’t much care about the pure phone aspects of the S5, but rather things like the optical heart rate sensor on it, as well as the Gear 2 and Gear Fit.įor this weekend though, I just focused primarily on the Gear Fit. My interest in these devices is primarily from an athletic standpoint. Both of which I’ve also got here (oh, all of which I paid for). The unit was announced about 45 days ago back at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, along with the Samsung Galaxy S5 phone, and the Samsung Gear 2 smart-watch. This is the company’s first direct attempt at competing with activity monitors from the likes of traditional players like Nike and FitBit, as well as newer entrants such as Garmin and Polar. On Friday I unboxed and got all set Samsung’s Gear Fit activity tracker.
