Motivator wrist

I've been using since last fall a Fitbit Ultra (now no longer available from the manufacturer, the thing is now called "Fitbit One") and am excited to see how my activities have (or inactions) graphically.

The downside to a pedometer that you put in the bag:
I forget it now and then at home and then get angry
I often forget that I have it here - so the extra motivation kick is no longer given.

After the Jawbone Up was published last year in the US, it rained heavily criticized. I wanted to import my thing already, the hair-raising reports at amazon.com kept me then but against it.

Now here comes the second version, this is obviously much more sophisticated:
The band (at least my) wrist adjusts reasonably well. It is quite thick and for many getting used to safely carry, it bothers me not at all.

So far, no one has approached me on this tape, it just looks like an ordinary bracelet without function.

The synchronization with the iPhone via the headphone jack, which bothers many, I think it's great: so there is no transfer difficulties (Bluetooth) and I have not even on the phone Turn on Bluetooth (guzzlers).

The belonging to the Band App offers many colorful graphics and it will be exciting to see how these develop in the course of time. For children play really perfect! In addition, still own moods and comments can submit / add.

The band seems very accurate aufzuzeichen the previous steps (significantly more accurate than that of me so far as Fitbit Ultra beloved). What it can not do: climbing stairs will not be recorded in levels but in a normal pace.

The tape is designed to be worn at night so I could already see the iPhone, why after a restless night, I felt so bad. Again, the record seems to be quite accurate.

At the band can be activated with a press of the day / night mode. In addition, you can set a vibration Salam reveille or an alarm when one has to do not move. So we are reminded by the tape it, but to go a few steps again. I had the function initially set to 15 minutes, then I'm at work but not so far ... So now I have set it to 45 minutes. About the app can be the time for the reminder set (eg 08: 00h-20: 00h and / or 17: 30-22: 00).

Activities can also be entered manually into the app, because not everything is automatically detected (such as cycling or iron bend).

The battery will probably hold 10 days I'm curious to see if that can be achieved.

The synchronization is working properly, the app is great.

I would buy the tape repeatedly.

1st Supplement:
While cycling is jolted during Jawbone Up will not be counted as steps. Prima.
Running (ie CORRECT running), the steps really accurately counted. I have compared with my GPS and it comes out very well what I evaluates the band since.

My band still works very well. Only: the vibration when switching from day to night mode usually does not work anymore. So I can but live well. Otherwise, the data is collected properly, synchronization works. So everything well. Just take a look ...
