I didn't actually like that however, because I already track my exercise calories separately, so that messed up my numbers. If I got a certain amount of "points" for the day I got a bonus, which would deduct a certain number of calories from my calorie counting app. So I really appreciated that it was waterproof. I didn't remove it when washing my hands, washing dishes, taking a shower, or giving my son a bath, etc. It even seemed to accurately track when I was walking/jogging with the jogging stroller. I've never used an activity band or pedometer before, but I track my food and exercise already, so this was a nice addition to keep me motivated and give me more things to track and remind me to stick to my workout routines (walking/jogging). I also linked it to LoseIt (calorie counting app), MapMyFitness, and even my Walgreens account (you get reward points for activity).
I had no problems downloading the app, creating an account, and syncing it with my Galaxy S5. I'll upload a picture of that workaround. But I really wanted to wear it like a watch on my wrist, so I got the idea to attach the clip to the wristband, and it looked weird, but it worked, and held securely. So I figured I'm going to have to use the clip, which is secure because the back of the clip holds the disc in place tightly. If I loosened one notch, it was more comfortable, and probably would have stayed in place, but when pushing the button, the band loosened a bit, and if I leaned my wrist against something (the table for example) the band moved around enough, leaving a gap that I was afraid the black disc could fall out. The first day when I tried it on with the wristband, I realized the only way I'd be confident that it'd stay in place without falling is if I tightened it to the tightest setting, which was uncomfortable on my wrist, probably would have cut off circulation, and I couldn't bend my wrist properly. I read all the reviews about the plastic band breaking and the black disc falling out, but for the price I figured I'd give it a shot and if something goes wrong Amazon will let me return it. Pros: inexpensive, includes sleep tracking, waterproof, includes clip in addition to wristband, can link it to LoseIt/MyFitnessPal/etcĬons: wristband not secure, is it truly waterproof?, adds "calorie bonus" which may mess up your calorie tracking
It requires an app on your phone or computer but I didn't have problems getting it set up.Of all on its features (which mainly include sleep, exercise, and weight), I have really enjoyed the sleep function because it tells me how I am sleeping at night and how much sleep I am getting.Pros:- Battery lasts months, doesn't need to be recharged- Reasonably accurate- Can be worn on different parts of the body- You can add or adjust the data as you like- You do not have to put in weight data if you don't want to- You don't have to set up a profile or connect with social media to use it- Doubles as a watch (you press it and it will first flash how close you are to completing your fitnes goal for the day THEN it flashes the time)- Tells you how much more exercise you need to reach your goal without having to be synced with the phoneCons:- Must be worn consistently if you want it collecting data- May collect data inaccurately for example, if you rock back and forth in a rocking chair it can collect that motion as steps- The circular device itself can be hard to get into the the plastic that holds it
