My fitbit died last night...
Nov. 3rd, 2013 10:03 amIt has traumatized me. I have had it linked to my sparkpeople account for so long, I have no idea how to calculate my calorie expendature without it! So now I have to decide between the older fitbit one as a replacement, or wait 6-8 weeks for the new fitbit force to ship. I'll probably get the old one, as I know how to place it in order to count steps while cycling, and I'm not sure the brand new force will do that. I talked to a friend who has a jawbone (which is another wrist wrap fitness tracker) and it doesn't record stationary cycling steps, so may be that whole wrist wrap activity tracker may not be for me.
(And yeah, the fitbit is really most completely dead. Lar was able to glue it together once it broke along the mold lines, but it stopped responding after a last-gasp Fitbit 414 message last night. It's currently sitting in a bag-oh-rice in the hopes that it's moisture that killed it, but, uhm, yeah. Pretty sure that after being split in half and glued back together that it's even less watertight than it was before...)
