On my Charge HR I needed sighted help to read a code that appeared on the display of the Charge HR. I also couldn't set my height and weight during the initial set up, although I think I could set this later. Other than that everything was accessible. This was almost two years ago, so things

I am considering a FitBit, and am wondering if I can set it up using VoiceOver, or will I need sighted assistance. I get varying answers on this, and am seeking other opinions. Are there other similar devices that I should consider that are easier to set up or use with VoiceOver? Thanks for any
