Then what good is it?

I’m definitely taking mine back now.

I gave mine away. It wouldn’t stop laughing at me.

I know a lot of people with those little bangle-buddies. I just don’t need one more thing to micromanage.

Need to build in a voice to nag you to work out and eat right.

One more thing I didn’t know I needed… a $200 pedometer.

I’ve got to get one of those NOT fitbits !

Reminds me of all those ads that say “take this pill and loose weight”.

i wouldnt be an engineer if millions of fitness-wannabes didn’t share this expectation. I did my undergrad in exercise science and left after everybody expected magic without effort. Now i’m an engineer.

After some test marketing the company changed the name from fittobetiedbit.

You put that gadget on and throw a fit.

I really don’t want to know… Not at that price.

I would hate to own a fitbit. With my activity level, it would probably list me as dead.

I bought a cheap knockoff; the Fatbat.

The gadget’s purpose is to help you become a bit more fit?

Just a dime store novelty…

There was one of those great " ’Tis the season to buy anything under the sun" stories on the news last night about how your electronic toys, including the fitness thingy, can be hacked. Who needs terrorists with guns? We have hackers.

Wally has them worked out – see Dilbert

Redefining “fit” one gadget at a time!

I use mine to keep track of resting heart rate (mine tends to be slow), stairs climbed and quality of sleep. I don’t bother with calories.Maybe I’ll see if I can get one to remind me when I’ve been sitting too long. I’ll call it a “sitbit”.

It WOULD be nice if it DID work that way.
