Inside this box, I have the Fitbit One, which replaces the Fitbit Ultra and don't be fooled by this gigantic and somewhat dangerous-looking box.
The Fitbit is tiny and you wear it on your body when you're exercising.
All right, let's get it out of here.
Wasteful packaging.
So, you may remember last season as I mentioned earlier I tested this guy against the Nike FuelBand.
There were a few things about it that I didn't love.
One was its lack of wireless charging unless you were within a few feet, 10 feet I think of the base.
That is fixed in this version and it also gets sweat-proof and waterproof, which I actually think is a huge improvement, water resistant.
Okay, comes in black and burgundy.
We got the black model.
Oh, it is small.
First flash, it's very obviously smaller than the initial Fitbit
and this guy just basically clips on to your clothes somewhere.
You wear it all the time when you're walking, when you're working out, when you're sleeping.
It's pretty much fitness data porn.
Okay.
I'm not loving this packaging.
Nothing-- Nothing hype or cool about all this like plastic junk, really.
Oh my God, this is like a child's toy!
All right, this thing-- there we go.
Okay.
Here you have your guide to the Fitbit hieroglyphics.
One of my least favorite things about it is that the feedback mechanism is just completely battling.
You get a flower that grows the more activity you do, and then look, if you just press these buttons you get the series of different numbers that is play with different from the other ones.
Okay.
This is inside the box are little sleep armband.
You actually tuck this into the band and you wear it while you're sleeping and then it can actually tell when you're in a deep sleep or not,
when you're moving around and you can use it to get kind of data about how well you sleep.
That's a cool nerdy feature that a lot of people like and I personally think that sleep is a much overlooked component of your overall health.
That was nerdy.
Oh!
All right, there's a new little case for it with a clip.
That's probably what helped.
This is actually-- This is probably why it's water resistant because now there's a rubber case for it.
Here's our charging cable for the dock.
This is actually nicer and much tidier and smaller than it used to be.
That's a charge little cable.
Okay.
There is no tower adaptor here so you're just gonna have to plug this into computer and charge that way.
Okay, let's get the actual Fitbit.
I was stalling because it appears to be attached by many, many little annoying plastic things.
No, not to that.
There we go.
Okay.
Fitbit,
look how tiny.
See if it will come on.
Ah, there we go.
Fitbit, man this is small.
Now, I know that that's a plus in some ways, but one of the things that happen to me a lot with the original Fitbit is that I left it places and/or lost it.
It's a little more easy to keep track of-- easier to keep track of when it's in this whole thing here.
There we go.
It's already wanting to measure my steps.
Look, it's taken 248 steps since I was born.
It's like a baby giraffe.
Right, let's go to the specs.
Specs on the Fitbit are pretty straightforward.
I mentioned it comes in 2 colors, black and burgundy.
It has this OLED display.
Battery life is great, 5 to 7 days before you have to charge this guy.
You can get Fitbit software for both PC and MAC.
When you sign up at fitbit.com, you can track and log your activity, your food,
your sleep, your water intake, your body mass and your weight.
When you press the button on the front of the Fitbit, you change the display and it cycles through steps, distance, calorie's burned, floor's climbed, but this is just an estimate, and the flower of course, which grows entering space on your activity.
There's also a handy little clock.
Wireless syncing with the Fitbit One is improved.
It now includes Bluetooth syncing with iOS or your computer.
Unfortunately, that is not yet available for Android, and like the Fitbit Ultra,
the Fitbit One will automatically sync whenever it's within 20 feet of each charger.
So, the Fitbit One cost $99.
There's also a new version called the Fitbit Zip that's a little cheaper about 60 bucks.
I'm thinking you might wanna look into that one if you're interested in the Fitbit.
I'm a little concern about the size of this and the fact that it comes with 2 separate pieces, although look if you were into tracking every single element of your personal life, your activity, your workout, your sleep,
you'll never gonna get more fun data porn than you're gonna get with Fitbit.
I also like the act that it does wirelessly sync over Bluetooth and it's available for iOS and Android, which FuelBand cannot say.
Oh no.
Fitbit has its fans.
I wanna love it, but it's just not my favorite.
It's so cute.
