Fitbit or other pedometer users

[Hotsauce]

Anyone out there use a fit bit or another piece of wearable technology to track your steps that you take each day? I am looking to purchase something like this that you wear on your wrist. There are a lot ofNew options out in 2015. I'm having a hard time deciding what I should get. I work out 2 to 3 times a week and I walk a lot. Anyone have any recommendations or anyone loyal to a certain brand?

I looked into getting a fitbit, but they're just too expensive for their actual capabilities imo.

I'm interested in those Jawbone things you wear on your wrist. Like a fitbit but also tracks sleep patterns and will remind you to get up and move if you've been sitting too long.

How bad are things when people have to be prompted to move?

I'm waiting for the Apple Watch before I pull the trigger

Not me but yeah I suppose someone with a desk job.

Tons of options out there. If you wear a watch, then you might want to think about waiting for the Apple Watch and just replace it. Otherwise, wearing two "watches" could look kinda weird. But the FitBit is a good investment if you need motivation. It links to your profile on the website, and auto-tracks your calories out. As long as you input your calories in, you'll be on the road to weight loss in no time.

I use the Accuped app I installed on my phone.

My wife and brother in law both have the fitbit and really like it.

I have the Samsung Gear 2 and like it as well.

i use a nike fuel band, but it's pretty much useless for anything besides running. weight training, crossfit, etc doesn't really register.

 

we're about 5 years from these things being really fuging cool though.

Working a desk job, if I get in the zone, i'm not moving until the job is done or it's 5.  I might need a prompt to move.  #heartdisease

Interesting name you have.

The Mods banned me for like 3 weeks when I made a thread asking why the horse incident went down...I guess time heals all!

I know.  I just didn't realize that people actually needed to be prompted to move - I have the deskiest desk job imaginable and have no issue moving throughout the day.  That said, I've always been fitness-conscious as well.
