Would be kinda fun to see what my speeds are when skiing. From: Sterling Jacobson Sent: Monday, August 29, 2016 10:42 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT Fit Bit
My wife got me a Samsung Gear 2 Special/Advanced or something like that. I like it a lot, looks like a nice wristwatch, not a sports watch. Gives me updates on everything while my phone sits somewhere else. And also tracks all my steps/runs etc. It also now comes in a GPS/3g version that doesn’t need the phone anymore for a lot of stuff. I have a Samsung Note 5 so it pairs well and plays well together. iPhone 4… I still have a couple of those for the occasional Apple app I need to load from time to time, lol!

The Garmin vivomove is pretty decent looking (http://explore.garmin.com/en-US/vivo-fitness/) Only problem I have with them is I actually like automatic watches, so I don't really want a 'fake watch'. I just use one of the very thin fitbit bands and I wear it on my right arm if I'm going to wear a watch. I think, if you want to wear a watch, and you don't really care what it is, it makes sense to go with one of them. I think pretty much all the Android watches/Apple watch all do step tracking too.

Most of them have a screen that shows you your step count. You really only need the app if you want to do any kind of stuff with the data (like calculate calorie burn, sync to another app, share with your friends, etc.) On 8/29/2016 11:24 AM, Simon Westlake wrote: I believe so, but I haven't tried it. You'd need the app to do anything with it though, although it looks like there is one in the Windows app store at least.

Sends data to the phone via Bluetooth, phone uploads it to the Fitbit website if you want to sync it to other stuff (e.g. I sync mine to MyFitnessPal.) They just charge via USB, little proprietary cable that connects to the back. On 8/29/2016 11:20 AM, [email protected] wrote: Thinking of getting a fitness tracker.� Getting too fat this summer.

I am still running my iPhone 4 and bound and determined to use it until it no longer works.� -- Simon WestlakeSkype: Simon_SonarEmail: [email protected]: (702) 447-1247---------------------------Sonar Software IncThe next generation of ISP billing and OSShttps://sonar.software -- Simon WestlakeSkype: Simon_SonarEmail: [email protected]: (702) 447-1247---------------------------Sonar Software IncThe next generation of ISP billing and OSShttps://sonar.software -- Simon WestlakeSkype: Simon_SonarEmail: [email protected]: (702) 447-1247---------------------------Sonar Software IncThe next generation of ISP billing and OSShttps://sonar.software -- Simon WestlakeSkype: Simon_SonarEmail: [email protected]: (702) 447-1247---------------------------Sonar Software IncThe next generation of ISP billing and OSShttps://sonar.software
