Fitbit For Fatbits.....

[gness]

I need to buy two fitbits for a challenge....and not for my fatbits as Dave keeps saying since I asked him about them...... ;-)

It seems I can pay not too much or way too much so does anyone have a fitbit or similar and can tell me something about buying one.....well two at a sensible price....under £50 each?

Thanks Gx.

Mrs Z has just bought one from amazon for £18 called big fox. Seems ok.

[gness]

Oooo thanks, Zacs....is it connecting to an iphone or android.....I have an iphone....x

[Zacs-Master]

iPhone. The bloody thing lights up in the night tho. But I suppose most do.

[gness]

Zacs....just had a look at that and it seems to be just what I want....I can do what I do with all things that light up at night....blue tac... :-)

Thank you...x

I have a letscom 101 hr which seems fine - cost around £25. It connects to my iPhone. I still haven’t worked out most of the functions. It also lights up during the night - better to leave it in another room or wear it at night (it can also monitor your sleep)

[Zacs-Master]

No probs. I’m buying a sweat band for Mrs Z’s!

[gness]

Thank you also, Toorak.......another to investigate......I do like AB for recommendations......x

A fun challenge with a cousin, Mazie......probably made in our cups at Christmas.... :-)

I bought one off groupon called apachie for £18 it connects to Mr Islay iPhone ok apparently. I have a proper fitbit and it does nearly all what the kosher one does.

[gness]

That's useful to know, Islay...thank you.

Thank you also, Danny.....what a wide price range!

[Toorak]

I just went for a cheap one to see how I got on with it - and on the basis of islay’s post I think i’ll Just stick with it. Ideally i’d Like one that I could use in the pool but most of them are not suitable for that kind of use. They claim to be waterproof but only to a very limited extent.

[gness]

I'll go with a cheaper one, Toorak........see how it goes...x

Please explain this to me Gness, my father's idea of a Fitbit was a woman who lived up the road and was pretty handy with a pickaxe in the garden. That is all I know of a Fitbit.

[gness]

I lived up the road from your father, Cory????? .... ;-)

Dave tells me this is a thing I wear on my wrist that will, when I've been sitting for too long, say.......Get Up....you fatbit and get yourself moving!!!!!.... ;-)

[gness]

Hi, Ael!...... ;-)

Sounds a bit like it could've been you wielding the pickaxe Gness, expect you were a lot younger then.
