For men we recommend the size L is actually in principle. Size S is really only suitable for very slender wrists. The packaging is a pretty useful size table is recorded, where you can hang up his arm.
It is advisable first to load the appropriate Fitbit app from the respective app stores. The bracelet can be easily set up on the smartphone via Bluetooth connection. After the own data has been entered, you can also immediately get started and tracking begins.
The records are pretty accurate. Started really recognize the tape as steps. A bumble shake is almost impossible. For this purpose, it is also important to choose the settings, whether you wear the ribbon on the active or inactive hand (the active hand is usually the dominant hand).
Sleep times were also recorded good to me and it's really interesting to see how many restless phases are so experienced.
The kilometer-tracking I have not compared to a GPS clock, but I read from different forums entries that the deviation is low (around 50 - 100 m).
Personally, I also still use the Weight Watchers - app, where you can pair your Fitbit wristband now. The activity points are then reliably included in the app. This works really great and deserves extra praise again a, as I have discovered as the perfect symbiosis to achieve my goals.
I can not say anything about the synchronization between laptop / PC using the supplied dongle, but should also work well. I personally steer all over the smartphone.
The design and functionality of the app is very appealing, concise and to the point. Workouts or food can be a grudge's play and categorize.
Only the food database is not yet mature enough. Since I'm used to the Weight Watchers app better.
If you have reached the end of the day its goals (eg, 10,000 steps or 20 stories), definitely makes you feel better because you know that you came back to the desired level of fitness a step closer. For the achievement of the main objective days then the band also praises by vibrating, beeping and flashing display.
The vibration function is very pleasant and not too intrusive. One can wake you up at a specified time with this. Furthermore, the band vibrates too short when the band is coupled to the cell phone and someone calls. The caller's name is also displayed. Very beneficial in times can take up the phone immediately or you simply do not want to answer it.
Last but not least, I can express only positive to battery life also. 7 days are not too high in any case. If of course depends on how often you press the button, which activates the display, or use the tip movement to display the time (which, incidentally, sometimes hooked something). I catch myself more often on the day that I let me show the current values. But this is probably also due to the initial euphoria.
It's my first Fitness Tracker and also my first longer review. The batch has prompted me, because he definitely was a stroke of luck. I do not want to miss it and can recommend it without reservation.
Who wants an additional measurement of the heart rate, which should be patient for a few months until the Fitbit batch HR in spring 2015 appear.
