Day One of my Fitbit One

Today I received a Fitbit One and a Fitbit Aria wireless scale c/o Ben’s awesome company.

I hooked up my tracker as quickly as I could tear open the box and went through the set up. It was super easy and I like that the wirleless dongle is small enough that I can keep it plugged into the usb port on mysweet DAS keyboard at all times. I immediately attached the One to my tank top and played with the bright little screen that is absolutely fantastic. The funny thing was that I was disappointed I was done with all of my walking for the day, because I wanted to make that little flower grow and get some badges! They do a great job of instigating exercise with the smallest rewards, like making a digital flower grow. 

I also set up the Aria scale in our bathroom which is a really chic looking and incredibly smart scale. The wireless was a bit of a hassle to set up but it was worth it when I stepped on it for the first time and it knew who I was! The scale can register up to 8 different people and will know who is weighing in and when. The greatest thing about all of it is the wireless syncing. This means I don’t have to plug anything in or make sure I’m pressing the right buttons, which means there’s one less thing for me to forget to do.

Fitbit has really seemed to simplify the fitness hardware world with some nifty little tools. I’m looking forward to using mine more!

Note: I was not paid to write this, nor were the gifts given so that I would write a review. I simply like the product so much that I wanted to share my thoughts!
