I have had the fitbit about 24 hours and have logged 2 workouts. I have not calibrated it for steps yet (well for stride length). This is with the default they use based on my height and weirdly enough it ad my height as 5'6.9" instead of 5'7".
This is from a cize workout. I took screen shots from my computer and my phone so there are a lot. I forgot to stop the fitbit so it was a 59 minute workout even though it was actually shorter. I did the same time for the bodymedia fit (well 1 minute longer) The calorie burn was 317 calories for bodymedia fit and was 236 for fitbit. That is a huge difference!
I find it odd how the graph is different and more detailed and has colors when you view it on a phone versus on a computer. I wish I had the colors on the computer!
I added notes to my picture collage so that I could easily see later and also easily share on facebook.
I expected a huge difference again but this time it was only 10 calories off for the workout. That's pretty darn close! Fitbit does base theirs off of steps and dancing the steps are weird so that could be why. I will need to calibrate and try all again. I have until September 23 before I'll be charged for another month on BodyMedia fit.
One thing that was close was sleep! BodyMedia fit counted lying down watching Big Brother so it seems that my efficiency is low but it really wasn't. Usually BMF doesn't count lying down watching TV so I must have been extra restful when Poly was on me. I'm enjoying this data.Do you have a fitness tracker? Which one and what do you like best? I'm still trying to figure this thing out.
