everyone I'm Ricky from Tech Talk and we're just I'm 2018 and everyone's on
that get fit get active vibe and I thought I'd join in with the Fitbit flex
to here so we're gonna start off with an unboxing set up and then testing it out
as well and giving you a real living review and actually really testing it
out during my lifestyle this one you can use it for so many great features so
I've chosen Fitbit flex 2 because I want to go swimming and use it when I'm doing
the washin Apple when I'm having a shower I don't have to worry about
taking it off which I had to do with my Apple what so on the front here you can
see the names you got Fitbit flex - it's a black colored band it comes in
multiple different colors so we have Fitness wristband here then you can see
different things that attract that I can go into more detail here for you in your
little world and down the right-hand side you can see the tracker itself
which is quite small your wristband that you're gonna wear which is black and
also what comes in the box we turn it around to the left-hand side again you
see your tracker and the compatibility of changing the band's using a pendant
we're using a clip so this is very versatile and you can use with multiple
accessories I also leave a link in description we can go buy these as well
so if we turn it round to the back this is where we're gonna see our main
information activity which counts your steps distance calories burnt and auto
exercise recognition so it will try and detect what exercises you do then also
update your dashboard you have sleep so auto sleep tracking and silent alarm so
we can track our sleep through the night and see how well we're sleeping when
we've actually burnt off our energy so changeability interchangeable bands
clips pendants and styles that you can use for your trackers it doesn't have to
be a wristband you can accessorize it and make it look as good as what you
want it to and up here at the top we have swim it can track it's swimming and
water resistant up to 50 meters which is absolutely great so underneath sleep
we've got about notification so you'll get call and text notifications with LED
lights and vibrations at different lights mean different things and
different vibration means different things and under here it syncs with PC
Mac Android and iOS there is a Fitbit app that you need to
download from either the Google Play Store or the iOS apps
I'm going to show you that shortly and then down here at the bottom you can
earn badges connect with your friends and compete with your friends to see how
well they're doing and also you can log food weight and more so let's get into
the unboxing itself just down here at the bottom it's just a bit taped you
need to cut and there's a handy tab to pull out your wristband here so inside
here we have our charging device here so we can then charge our little tracker
which has the tracker already plugged in you then have your strap which is
adjustable pull these out and adjust the length of your strap the choice is yours
then also you have a larger style strap for if your wrist is bigger so I'm gonna
have to use this one it's nice that they include a smaller one just in case and
setup we need to go into the application safety and warranty information it a
nice little booklet to read through I just want to show you how to place your
tracker in the charger and make sure you actually plug your charger in either to
your computer or into a plug as well just to get it charged up and make sure
it is fully charged as you do need an LED light flashing so it can connect to
your app as well on your smart phone so as you see on a charge you've got some
little gold pins there what do you need to do to line these up with a little
gold pins or on here just make sure that they sit in the same place nice and easy
like that then it will flash different colors and it will pulsate whites for
every 25% then it will flash this green color when it done so when you place
inside your wristband what you need to do is take the tracker out just be
careful with it at all times if I just flip around here you see this little
diamond dot here and if we look on the tracker you see a diamond
dot again you need to place the two dots next to each other then this means
you've got the tracker the right way up so just place that in there then just
pull the band a little bit and you feel it and then just make sure that the
seals are all the way around there we go and our tracker is ready to put on I
just bring this up close you can see this and little LED dots in there was
going to flash different colors and then of course it's going to vibrate as well
with your iPhone or Android device find the Fitbit app in your Google Play Store
or the iOS app store here what we're going to do is download this and then
we're going to open it up so we're going to join Fitbit so now it's going to ask
a few personal details which we're going to go through and fill in so height and
weight so once you're logged in with all your details here and we're into our
profile now we can set up new device I'm gonna hit the Fitbit flex 2 which is
down the list a little bit flex to set up agree to the terms and conditions
here it's just showing you about your charger just showing you how to place in
the charger like I have set place it into the band which I've shown you and
place the band on your wrist so we're going to do that now so it's now on my
wrist I held it to here and hit next this is hold close to meet each other so
tap your wrist band so I heard a vibration there so it's just connecting
to Fitbit now as you can see there's blue lights there as well any process
that you're having any issues with Java comment down below and I'll be more than
happy to help so my Fitbit flex battery is low okay so
what we need to do is make sure that we actually charge that up and you can
update tracker so your battery might be a little bit too low so make sure you
plug in charge up your battery and then you might be able to do the updates via
the device or you may have to put back in its your strap so we can try again
so yes so we're try it again and it's updating an hour while plugged in but
because it's linked to our account it will work straight away so I'm going to
do is update this and come back when done ok so it's all done so we can here
continue I'm gonna place to track her back into the wristband so now it's
going to walk us through the basics are gonna hit next
so our daily step goal is 10,000 steps so your progress our battery is low but
it will show you progress so your flex 2 will show incoming calls and it will
look like this it's showing you though so automatically track your sleep which
is great and now it's showing you a picture of different LED notifications
that you'll see on your wristband which means different things so you have
receiving a cool alarm reminder to move and text message so can hear next and
exercise tracking so it will try and detect what exercise you are doing and
you can customize with different bands pendants and different styles as well as
it's shown you now again the link will be in the description so just on this
page is saying to always take your tracker out and clean off to swim in
clean the wristband now and again and take the tracker off just a couple of
times just to make sure it doesn't rub or wear on your wrist and
gun so hit done and now it's in my list and it will start to track my exercise
and then in a couple of weeks I'll show you how well my dashboard is doing and
how well we're getting on with the Fitbit flex - thanks always for watching
I hope you enjoyed the unboxing and setup of the Fitbit flex - and I'll see
you very soon with a full review bye for now
