Post your tracker and app questions or comments.
I gave my Fitbit to my kid a year and a half ago, so I’m out of touch with Fitbit. Hopefully there is someone else here who knows about their stuff. I’m a Samsung Health and Samsung Gear user. My tracker is a Samsung Gear Fit 2. I can definitely help Samsung users.
I’ve gotten up to 7985 steps in one day according to my iPhone’s health tracker.
That was when I had to take my mom out to pick up her medicine, and grocery shop.
I like the ‘tracker’ it keeps me from too much lazy.
I use a fitbit charge 2 combined with a gps tracker in my iphone. ( Walkmeter- a paid app which they now want a crappy high yearly fee or you get spammed with ads. Anyone know a better one let me know! ). My daily goal is 11,500 steps and I get there most days weather permitting!
I use my iPhone as a step tracker.
It’s built in.
I walked over 11500 steps the other day.
I found some dirt cheap pedometers on eBay:
@firemonkey, is it realistic for you to get one of these? It might help.
I looked on eBay UK the cheapest were all from China/Hong Kong with a delivery date late May to late June.
Looked on Amazon for a 4* or above one the cost is around 10x as much.
They DO show up on eBay, but they take a while. That’s why the shipping is so cheap.
@anon51414962, some apps use GPS (useless indoors), but most use the accelerometers built into all new phones.
I checked my phone’s app and I can enable GPS but it says it could drain battery faster. And I have a new phone btw so I will use it standard mode
I walked 6,066 steps yesterday.
This is a good day for me.
I got a Fitbit Alta as a gift for Christmas. I like it. My steps have gone way up since my dad went into the hospital and assisted living. He is doing well but my responsibilities have increased a bit to keep him and the rest of my family comfy. I average about 7000 steps a day. I find that MyFitnessPal works much better for me now that I linked it to my Alta.
I just got this to help motivate me to walk more and it is cheap and reliable with tri-axis movement monitoring. It is £8.95 and is in the uk.
