okay so this is my review of the I fit view activity tracker and this is what
you get you get the module and you get a little charger that connects to the usb
on your computer and I plugged it in it took several hours of charge up the
first time you're also going to want to go to support I fit comm and download
the app for whatever your device is there are extra things that are
available like the chest strap so that you can get your heart rate and stuff
out of the box it does not report your heart rate all it's sensing is your
activity so and of course there's this warning that it contains one or more
chemicals known in the state of California to cause cancer birth defects
and other reproductive harm that's what the iFit app looks like once it's on
your device you get two wristbands one is big for guys and small for women or
maybe youth you get the tracker the USB connection you get the module into bands
make sure that this thing is compatible with your device because otherwise
you're just going to be left out completely this is not a standalone
piece of gear this is what you get the two wristbands the module and the USB
plug in gotta go to your App Store get it see where it says get there you push
that button look at the rating that it has 1.5 stars people are not very
impressed with the app here it is downloading feel that protective piece
off and it's ready to go click open and the app is open and that's what it looks
like you get a Quick Start Guide and it charged to a hundred percent in just an
hour or so so this is how it goes into the wristband it's in pretty easy and it
comes apart so that's good so that you can wash that wristband separate from
the actual module and once you get it situated just right the thing is really
comfortable it looks smooth it is not going to be conspicuous on your wrist
and it's going to go right under your shirt sleeve if that's what you want you
don't want people to know you're wearing it that bright blue color really doesn't
even show when you're wearing
you have two little raised plastic pieces that size it up for you when you
put it together nice and smooth doesn't rub on your skin doesn't feel
uncomfortable no reason to make it tight because it's not reading your blood
pressure anything like that your heart rate all it is doing is hanging on you
now you'll find out when you go to push the button and change the modes that
sometimes it's pretty temperamental and doesn't respond at all other times you
barely touch it and the next mode comes up that's where you're putting your
calories in and you can see some people are getting it frustrated when you hit
the button for calories every push of the button supposed to add 50 calories I
punched in a couple thousand calories and it that's a goal that you set up and
then it will actually vibrate and let you go know when that goal is attained
now by holding it when it's on the clock it goes to the pairing mode and that's
when you have to have your app open now that app is going to cost you eleven
ninety-nine a month or ninety-nine dollars a year then of course you can
record all your stats and store them and access them you also control the clock
and everything once it's paired to your device so three hundred fourteen
calories already burned and nine hundred ninety six foot steps I think that's
super generous because when I counted my foot steps and I walked out to the
mailbox for example somehow I get credit for point four hundred and thirty you
know almost half a mile it also has a workout mode so it just registers your
activity and this is what the device looks like not a lot - not a lot to say
this is what it's going to look like in the dark
1216 calories apparently I burned battery lasted a really long time it
does keep you active it's easy to where you're going to forget it's there and
it's going to remind you that it's there if you set idle for too long it's going
to vibrate and it's going to say move and that it's time for you to get going
final verdict it'll keep you motivated with vibrations
if you're sitting around for too long plus you get to feel good about yourself
you're going to see all the cow it burns it's a little fickle with those
buttons as you can see because you barely touch it and sometimes it goes
sometimes it doesn't easy to clean waterproof battery lasts a
long time very happy with it so far I think the battery went down to like 90%
I wore it for four days not so accurate when counting steps it's just super
generous and I think it just makes you feel good about yourself all the time
but will it motivate you yes is it accurate I don't think so
super easy to use I recommend it
