I really like this fitness monitor and the idea behind it

I really like this fitness monitor and the idea behind it. It's easy to set up and easy to use. I love that it measures a sliding 7-day window, so no day looks too good or too bad. I love that it adjusts to my fitness level. So as I get better I need to do more to get my heart rate up and earn a pie. I like that it is based on heart rate and not steps. I love that it automatically tracks my sleep (I don't have to tell it I'm going to sleep). There are a few things I don't really like: The screen isn't visible in broad daylight, so I don't use it to adjust my workouts based on the elapsed time and heart rate the watch tells me. There's no low-battery notification in the app, and the watch has a one-time low-battery image that appears when you wake the display, but it flies by so quickly it's easy to miss. The percentages shown for earned shares do not always match, even if they are not in sync. First thing in the morning he can tell me I have 104 pi to start the day then later he says I have 96 pi then he syncs and I think the numbers are allowed but I would be safer if he it would show me more stable numbers. However, these downsides are pretty minor compared to the fact that this monitor helps me get out the door to exercise and walk my dog, but I don't feel like a failure if I miss a day. I find it easy to stay above 100pi but I have to watch it and get some exercise most days. I look forward to future updates that fix the above issues, but for now I would definitely recommend this monitor.

Pros
  • Fitness technology
Cons
