I'm of the opinion that fitness trackers are fairly "dumb" pieces of technology. After all, most are just glorified pedometers that sync to your phone. The data taken isn't always accurate, whether you're talking about steps, calories burnt, distance trav...

Still using your Fitbit or thinking to get one? Well, I applaud your for that, as getting one means you have the intention to be more active and perhaps keep track of your fitness. So I got one last June 2016 with a friend who I accompanied to start livin...
So was it worth getting a Fitbit Charge HR? I found it useful when I was hospitalized, but that isn't a scenario anyone would aspire of. Spending 6,000 pesos for a gadget isn't easy, and we just used it up for 8 months which translate to 750 pesos a month...

The Fitbit Charge HR looks good. It's one of the best designed Fitbit products out there and while it's not as stylish as buying a smartwatch, it looks good on the wrist compared to other trackers, It also does its core job well. Step tracking works and t...
I'm not going to pretend there aren't issues here. It's expensive. It's not the most costly of the Fitbit range but it's at the higher end and it's a shame it costs that little bit extra then the original Charge. I don't see why Fitbit hasn't just replace...
