For tape:
I really (!) And liked was my favorite. It is very pleasant on the arm when lifting the arm, the display is automatically displayed, it will automatically adjust my step target my habits has to motivate me, the display is easy to read and the notifications, I found the hammer. All calendar reminders (Exchange and Me.com), calls, text messages, WhatsApp messages, etc. are displayed - just about anything. To be well on the meaning is debatable at the small screen but job I thought it was pleasant in the meeting via vibration to check what is at stake in the new e-mail or reminiscent of the next meeting / Telco when I - even emails you could read grade'm not in place.
But where there is light there is also shadow:
- Why can not I use the tape Bitteschön control only the iOS Music app and not Spotify? The other get better out - technically it is. Since I now only Spotify hear a KO criterion for me and where I but so was looking forward to this feature!
- For the notifications must be permanently activated Bluetooth of course; mach yes otherwise no sense. However, I had the feeling that my iPhone 5s battery was empty much faster; a subjective impression - perhaps it deceives yes
- Why do I have only complicated the Sleep mode in the band? Yes, that must also Up24 - but is not that annoying? The Fitbit batch automatically detects when I'm asleep and I can just start the tape without me worrying about the activation of the night and Tagmodi.
The app:
Not my thing - has already been written here. Not beautifully prepared, the sleeping corners are a joke (Jawbone shows how to do it), it shows everything, yes - but it just looks cool, too much like facts. It does not speak to me and find as the Jawbone and Fitbit app much better. There is no advice or otherwise. Particularly annoying: you can only add calories eaten over MyFitnessPal (!). Means: I eat what then to take my phone out of his pocket to open the Garmin app, then from the Garmin app to open the MFP app, enter the food and then switch back to the Garmin app; ehm ... no.
Fitbit and Jawbone also import the data from MFP but offer me the chance all the same in their own App specify. Saves me a way.
