PR: Triathletes get Techie with Samsung Gear S2

Health and fitness bands have been a triathlete’s best friend from quite some time now. With these bands, triathletes can constantly monitor real-time health statistics as they go about their routine. However, trends change and came a more sophisticated smartwatch that can do the fitness band’s job and more. Smartwatch technology has proven to be truly liberating and empowering that triathletes, such as the members of Tri Six Fiv, never go out for a run without strapping on their Samsung Gear S2.

The Gear S2 showcases a circular interface on a a clear and bright 1.2 sAmoled screen that you can navigate through its extensive apps and features via rotating bezel. Has a superior music player that up to 300 songs on the watch to listen to while you’re on the go. Built with a battery that lasts for 2-3 days, it guarantees less downtimes, and more usable hours. The Gear S2 has IP68 certification that can withstand water up to 30 minutes in 1.5 meters of water, ready to face the elements. The Gear S2 comes in two models: classic and sports with personalized and interchangeable watch faces and wrist straps for utmost versatility.

Five triathletes—namely, Xander Angeles, Dwan Abanto, Arvin Alvin, Denise Hernandez, and Nico Valdez—say that smartwatch technology has become indispensable in their training. Huddling together over a healthy breakfast, the Tri Six Fix members marveled at how their training programs have benefited all thanks to this new wearable technology.

Xander Angles sets up his Gear S2 

Ace celebrity photographer and triathlete Xander Angeles relies heavily on his favorite app on the Samsung Gear S2—the heart rate monitor. “It’s very important to know the heart rate, since that dictates my pace. In the past, I had to stop what I was doing to check this, but now I know everything in real time—it’s truly liberating,” he says.

Coach Dwan Abanto checks her Gear S2’s step counter

Fitness guru Dwan Abanto uses the Gear S2 in training clients. She has downloaded an app called the Workout Trainer on the smartphone to check the intensity of a given activity. “It’s like having your own personal trainer,” she enthuses.  Among the pre-loaded apps, her favorites are the water and caffeine intake counter, which enable her to monitor her consumption which is very important to her health regimen.

Veteran triathlete Arvin Alvina, who will compete in Iron Man Barcelona, relies heavily on his Gear S2 especially for training. “I need to monitor so many stats, and it is truly helpful in helping me attain fitness goals and monitoring my performance. I also like the way it’s constructed—it has a rotating bezel that makes it easy for me to go from one app to another, plus it’s really lightweight. It also has a long battery life, which is perfect for my needs.”

Like her fellow athletes, runner Denise Hernandez loves the Gear S2’s health monitoring functions, but her favorite feature is its ability to receive messages even without holding onto the phone. ”I can never be disconnected even when I go out for runs, but it is downright inconvenient to carry a smartphone. With the Gear S2, I can keep in touch and be apprised of whatever is happening, allowing me peace of mind whenever I start training,” she says.

Another Tri Six Fiv member Nico Valdes shares that he enjoys the way the Gear S2 seamlessly connects with his Samsung smartphone. “Pairing it with the phone allows you to enjoy more functions, which makes it even more fun to use. The Gear S2 has phone-like features, and it can even load photos. It’s unbelievably user-friendly and easy to navigate, especially with the rotating bezel that lets me tap into a wide assortment of apps. Even when I’m not training, I can use the Gear S2 to check and reply to messages. I can even wear it for other activities as it goes very well with casual wear. I really can’t find anything more versatile and useful than the Gear S2. For a triathlete, it’s a necessity,” he says.

Engineered to suit the needs of active types, the Samsung Gear S2 smartwatch allows athletes and fitness enthusiasts to monitor their fitness and activity stats in real time even while off-training in a simple, convenient way. With its powerful health tracker app - S Health, monitors the most important stats such as heart and pulse rate, user’s liquid intake, the number of calories burned, and hours spent walking, running, sitting down, and curling up in bed. It even sends motivational messages to keep the user’s spirits up.

With the Gear S2, triathletes have discovered an entirely new dimension in training, and it just gets better with every turn.
