Mandylubug Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 It seems interesting. I saw an advertisement on myfitnesspal for it. I was considering getting a watch that would monitor calories burned, etc. but this looks cool. http://www.fitbit.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandylubug Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 I have had one since February. I love mine. awesome, so how does it know calories burned if it is just in your pocket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I was thinking about getting one of these too. :bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie G Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 It's going off how active you are. I think mine way overestimates how many calories I'm burning. I could take some steps to adjust that, by changing some settings, but I'm not focused on those numbers. I do enjoy seeing my stats on steps walked over time, and I also go back and add in whenever I do something like cycling. For me, the benefit is really that it automatically updates my info so I don't have to log things. I can go days without syncing and it's ok- when I sync, it goes back and fills in the data. The sleep data is something I used for a few weeks to get some baselines and now never wear it while sleeping. But I will say, although I wake up a good bit each night, it's clustered. So while I might THINK I toss and turn all night, I really just have a couple of periods that include waking several times. Good to know.

Mandylubug Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 quite interesting. Thank you for sharing. It is definitely on my watch list and maybe buy list if I am still interested in a few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeeBeaks Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I bumped an older thread (my bad) and missed this more recent one. I just got my ultra after my old fitbit died after several years of faithful service. I asked on the other thread - anyone want to do a community group? Fitbit has groups. And by the way, I discovered this time Amazon has fitbits for $10 less than the fitbit site. Just an FYI there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie G Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I'd love to do a community group. I have no idea how to do that, but if you do it, I'm in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnM Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I just ordered one. I would join a group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T'smom Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I had one for awhile, but just FYI- they don't survive a trip through the washing machine. I really liked it, but not enough to buy another one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
