I don't think so

It's not a magic device but it does what it says.

its a pedomiter with a clock
if u want real fitness tracking get a gps watch like the Garmin forerunner or just use your phone with run-keeper on it

The only thing that interested me about them was the HR models
Then the articles came out saying the HR data was inconsistent and inaccurate by some absurd margin like 20bpm.
Install Gentoo.

How the fuck does a gps track how much energy you're burning lifting weights?

These two anons are right. I got one as a gift and the active heartrate monitor is crap. Resting is breddy gud tho.
I used to have a Garmin GPS and although the fitbug is not as accurate for distance, it seems reliably 10% too short, which is accurate enough for me

Pretty sure wearables are for runners, dipshit

It's good for measuring how many miles you've masterbated, and then comparing with your friends

I got one for a gift. I don't hate it at all, it's actually pretty cool. I really like the alarm system it has too. The heart rate monitor us wonkey, and the calories burned tracker is probably off a little bit.
I wouldn't buy one for the price they're going for. If they were 50 bucks or something, sure. But anything higher and it's just a waste for what you get.

More like a troll or a Trojan Horse. They take the data from them that you're constantly transmitting to them over the Internet, and can deduce all sorts of things about what you're doing, where you are, who you are, etc, and they sell that data to marketers so they can try to sell you shit. The government probably also gets that data so they can track you and your habits, decide if you're a threat of some sort.
They're also not very accurate and therefore a waste of money. Get a real heartrate monitor (like Polar makes) if you want to track your heartrate, or just skip all the above and JUST FUCKING LIFT. Nobody needed this shit until a few years ago, you don't need it now.
