I use my smartphone to log almost all of my workout data. Can I use my smartphone while wearing the gloves?

Yes. I have a touch screen iPod that I use and I don't have to take the gloves off to change songs or increase the volume

The gloves will sometimes work with a smartphone. The gloves are easy on and off so it's not hard to pull one off and enter your data.

Yes you can, when your working out and your hands sweat a little they become very responsive. I've had no issue playing music and logging my workouts. I love these gloves

Nope. I was a bit paranoid about that at first myself. Smartphones are not cheap. The way the grip is laid out holds my phone securely, even when going over some fairly rough paved roads. The bottom prongs ensure the phone does not slide down and the wrap-around mini-bungee keeps the phone in the grip. The bungee can get in the way of finger swipes, but we really shouldn't be doing that while in motion anyway (though its hard to resist sometimes).

I use mine continuously while exercising! Just a glance at your finger and you have your readings!

Yes, however remember if you would like to use the finger print scanner it will not work properly.

No. Can't use touchscreens with these gloves as they're not made with conductive thread.

I believe it can however I use gloves all the time so not 100 percent sure.

I am not able to with my samsung galaxy s4. The gloves are cushioned more than they appear. Nonetheless great gloves. Fit snug.

My experience was I registered 2 of my fingers but when I tested it with the unregistered fingers, it still opened. I returned it, not safe if any finger works. Not a true biometric sensor.

I'm not the best person to answer this question because I don't use gloves when I practice yoga. However I'd hazard a guess and say no because it offers no protection for your palms.

Yes they can be. I used my gloves basically for the repetitive injury I had following an overuse injury while trying to learn to type faster. It increased the circulation and along with a couple of cortisone shots healed the injury. Please see your doctor first.

In order to monitor your heart rate you do. It's easier when you are working out than the ones that you have to stop what you are doing and touch the phone in multiple places and wait. But you do have to have both pieces and it isn't super comfy.

I'm sure you can wear it to get a measure of your calories burned throughout the day, but I believe this device is most accurate when used during your workouts. However there are other devices that can do this for you -- I recommend checking out the FitBit. :)

Hello Tarek, with anything that's electronic, just as your cell phone, it's to be very careful around water, yet with the Gear, you can wash your hands. Yet do not get Gear wet, remember it's just like your cell phone, just cooler! Enjoy it if you already have it, if not yet, when you do!

You probably could if the gloves are large. Actually it sounds like a good idea to wear gloves over them to keep them from getting dirty.

I do not have smartphone gloves, so unfortunately I have not way of testing this.
