No I don't but looking at getting a fitness tracker. Leaning towards the Garmin Vivosmart 3 over the fitbit though.

Yeah I do! It's alright I suppose.

Pssst, you can cheat and get your steps when brushing your teeth. Or just give your hand a shake

I gave mine to my daughter cos it was making my pain worse in my wrist. Something to do with the magnetic impulses they use.

I did find it interesting for my sleep patterns and bpm.

It's a gimmick !!

If you eat pizza and chips every day it doesn't matter how many steps you take !!

Being fit is about watching your diet and doing exercise that increases your heart

rate ....

I'm on my feet all day at work but doesn't mean I'm actually doing anything that is burning calories

Exavtly, if you want to eat shit, you need to start running, if your sweating your burning, i knew a bloke that would complete 10k in the gym everyday then be an hour in the sauna, he would drink at least 5 pints every night, not healthy but never put weight on

That's why I want one with a HR monitor, not 100% accurate but will at least give a base line to work from. Plus if it has gps it should be good for distances covered. The Vivosmart also has a rep counter for weights workouts plus phone notifications for most apps. I'm not a Garmin rep honest.

Anita used to have one and found it a little clunky. Now has the charge instead.

I've got the Tomtom watch, it's much more sports focused than the fitbit but less "life wellness" focused.

G and I both have them, they provide some interesting stats and regardless of the metric and its absolute accuracy or not as long as it is consistent it gives you a benchmark and something to aim towards.

If I'm not going to get my steps I'll find a reason to go for a walk, and we compete to beat each other in the weekly total table. I was going to get G a Garmin but he wanted to have the competition to spur him on.

I like the HRM feature too and it comes out with a bpm or two of the machine at the gym. It's made me realise what I thought was a cardio workout wasn't really hard enough.

Still not selling it to me lol

Example I was on a 12hr shift at work yesterday and on my feet the majority of

it and at no point would my heartbeat had an excelleration, but I'm fairly certain I would have walked more steps than alot of people. ..

I could sit at a desk 5 days a week but eat a healthy diet and exercise a few times a week but take less steps, but would be fairly certain I would be healthier than someone who is counting

I agree step counting on its own doesn't mean much, but with the other features some models have they can be useful. I wouldn't buy one that only counted steps but with a Heart Rate sensor plus GPS for route tracking I think they have their place.

Ok so i will admit if it has other features that can monitor my heartrate and calories burned and consumed I would be tempted

I'm a single mum, work full time out of town, no car so walk to and from train station....

I workout at home in my livingroom on my days off, so rather than rely on my special grey jersey shorts to gage my weight ( don't ask, they are my scales, if my bum cheeks fall below the hem I've gained weight, if my bum cheeks are above the hem I've tonned up

)

So getting back to I could be tempted, only if the fitbit monitored my heartrate and calories etc
