The bracelet was out of the box set up within five minutes.
In the Fitbit app (in my case, iPhone iOS 6), you can see all the data and adjust the tracker.
Important point to adjust is the dominant hand.
You have the app tell which hand is supported on the Tracker. The dominant hand is always the hand with you (you) also writes.
Furthermore, you can arrange here in what order and what data should be displayed on the Tracker.
I have (to wear an automatic watch on his left arm) disables the display of the time in the Tracker. For me, only the heart rate, steps, calories and distance and floors are displayed.
Also you can set in the app which function at twice touching the tracker to be displayed.
Very useful if you do not want to press the button on the side of the tracker. Just a double tap with your finger on the screen and even the set function appears.
In the app you can also set the silent alarms. Here you wake the Tracker by gently vibrating arm. You can save up to 8 alarms in advance and activate them individually or disable halt.
For size determination: I weigh 114.4 kilograms in 1.86Meter.
Diameter of my wrist below the carpal bone 18 centimeters
Diameter of my wrist above the carpal bone 19.5 centimeters
The band has when I above the carpal bone still carry 2 free holes in the bracelet or even a residual bracelet length of 3 centimeters.
But why I write here above or below the wrist bone? Very easily. According to the manufacturer, the pulse measurement works best when the tracker is worn above the wrist bone. So not in the direction of the wrist, but moved upward. just the exercise of sports, this is important.
Here is the link with the exact instructions on how to wear the Tracker:

On the subject of accuracy of heart rate measurement:
I can not detect any difference to my Polar heart rate monitor. Perfect. This belongs to my chest the past.
Accuracy stairs and floors: Here I can not detect any irregularities. Works 1A.
Water and showers: The tracker is splashproof. Rain and strong welding in the summer or in a pub can not harm the Tracker.
When showering, bathing or swimming the tracker go necessarily decrease.
I hope I could help with this detailed recession and would appreciate a positive rating or a thank.
So in conclusion: strong buy recommendation.
There are at the moment nothing better on the market in the Tracker.
Wait what drives the competition.
The Jawbone Up3 is still not available, but also has no display and no automatic sleep monitoring.
