finally broke down and bought a fitbit..

[font=verdana, geneva, lucida, lucida grande, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]And I wish i would of purchased one sooner. [/font]

[font=verdana, geneva, lucida, lucida grande, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]I got the fitbit surge, which does way more than I actually need it for. Finally I have a ball park range of how many calories I'm burning each day. To my surprise my calorie expenditure day to day is very dramatic (as much as 1k calorie difference plus), esp on the days I'm off and just lounging around. Its very accurate as well. I tested it against the elliptical machine and treadmill, testing HR and calorie expenditure and it was right on the money. [/font]

[font=verdana, geneva, lucida, lucida grande, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Its pretty nice that I can also link it to myfitnesspal app, which is great so I can eat more flexibly and also eat more according to my true calorie expenditure for that day. If your the type that doesn't strictly eat the same meals and marcos day in and day out, this is worth every penny. [/font]

[font=verdana, geneva, lucida, lucida grande, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Depending on the device there are several other cool features such as, programming it to a specific workout to track time, hr rate, calories burnt (weight training, elliptical, tennis, etc), gps, tracks sleep, steps taken, stairs climbed, hr rate, etc. Pretty cool, but I can be kinda of a tech nerd at times. [/font]

[font=verdana, geneva, lucida, lucida grande, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]I got my fitbit surge on ebay, they have some really good steals on there if your interested. Much more competitive than amazon or any other retailer.[/font]

Thanks for the info!
I'll be looking into this as well. I also was told u can set your alarm on your phone and the wristband will vibrate. If that's true, I need it. It's always hard for me to wake up on time lol

I had the basic one without the heart rate monitor. Do you have an iPhone? The Apple sports watch would have been better bro

the surge is pretty awesome, i just have a charge HR, and use a lot of the tracking features like sleep time and have the other apps like myfitnesspal and my scale app share data with it. good stuff

Mine does, however I don't use it. I sleep like a rock, I have to have to use an audible alarm on the highest setting and even that i sometimes sleep though it lol.

This watch has so many features just like my smartphone and I probably use only half the features. But still cool having all the bells and whistle just in case.

I have a Charge HR and I used to use it all the time, it was on my wrist constantly except in the shower but there was a few times I had forgot to take it off(that was how used to wearing it I was) and I wore it and it got wet but it still worked perfectly. I have stopped using it now, I don't know why but I just don't. I guess it was like a fad and it was cool and I could track everything and I did but it got kinda old and I fell out of using it. I should get it out and charge it and start using it again. I bet if I put it on just one day I will get back into wearing it like I used to!!! I loved how it would track everything I needed it to.


Thanks
