Time Tracking Software | Fitbit One Wireless Activity

BRUSSELS - Sept. 11, 2013 - PRLog -- I really love this tracker and the FitBit software. It does what it says--tracks my daily activity, including treadmill usage (which was a necessity for me). The Bluetooth syncing means it syncs with my mobile device (and thereby with my FitBit account on the FitBit server) whenever I open the app. Being an obsessive person, I check my stats multiple times per day. This would be impossible without the wireless syncing.

Using the FitBit truly encourages me to be more active. It's such a little thing reaching my step count goal for the day, or earning a new badge, or watching my calories burned for the day shoot upward after a workout. But it matters. A couple days ago, I was about a thousand steps shy of earning a new badge. So I jogged in place in front of the television until I got there. I would never have burned those additional calories without the FitBit to motivate me.

If you enter your weight loss goals into the software, and enter information about the food you eat, the software will tell you how many calories you can eat for the remainder of the day to meet your weight loss goals. The calories for a certain day are dynamic--meaning if your activity is high, the calories you're allowed to consume for the day increase. As a result, for me at least, there's a feeling that I'm being rewarded. I like being rewarded. :)

The only thing I don't love about this thing is the sleep tracker. I wouldn't say it's bad; it's just not useful to me. It tracks sleep based on your movement. So if you're like me, and you stay relatively still when trying to fall asleep, it records you as being asleep. Plus, when I look at the sleep record in the morning, it's not telling me anything I don't know. I already know I awoke numerous times, or that my sleep was restless. Maybe if the sleep tracking were super accurate, it would be useful to me. Then I could compare my sleep activity day to day with my activities and food intake for the day to see if patterns existed. But I don't see enough accuracy here for that to happen.

I do, however, love the silent alarm. So despite the lack of usefulness of the sleep tracker, I sometimes still wear the FitBit it night. A wrist band is provided, and the FitBit slips into there to be worn around tour wrist. When the alarm goes off, the device vibrates against the wrist. It's much less jolting to me (and to my significant other) than an alarm.
