my wife has had a fitbit charge for a while that i got her around Christmas time and i finally decided to get one this weekend. i have never been much of a watch wearer (i don't do expensive watches, knives, or sunglasses because i lose/break them often.) also the apple watch is coming out and it appears we are going to go full tilt dick tracy in life now. i just can't see myself ever needing to be THAT connected.

that being said i got a garmin vivosmart and have been super impressed with the fitness part of it. it also has some cool features as far as notifications. not like talking into the watch, but let me know who's calling, texting, emailing, etc.


Fitbit seems pretty cool, but unless you're getting the surge, it just seems like just too little of a face to get good data that i'd want from a watch, but the fitness/pedometer is fine.

Nope. I make it a point to not become dependent on technology.

I think the apple watch is going to be the biggest hipster douche bag thing since google glasses.

Tim Cook may drive Apple into the ground. Holy shite that is awful.

I wear my brain, everyday.

It tells me all kinds of useful things about my body.

Those gadgets don't do much for me, but I don't look down on people who like/use 'em.

Whatever keeps folks motivated to get in better shape, I'm all for

Hell no. I have seen many people wearing these things and not a single one that I can see any results from wearing them. Maybe you have to do more than wear them, maybe you can do the same without wearing anything. But go ahead and hand over your money, many many do and will continue to.

I'm waiting for this.

Doesn't have to be a tiny arm band. I'd use one of those QB sized arm bands too, as long as it was cold out, no one would know you had it.
