I can't get the Go Wear Fit wrist display to sync with my BodyBugg armband. I'm not sure that they are compatible even though made by the same company.

I want to know if the GoWear takes into account Mental Workouts, or only physical? The brain requires sustenance too, and uses calories as well. Many times at work if I'm working on a complicated issue or doing intense mental work I will come up hungry as a result of the brain work. If the device only tracks physical movement as calories burned then it's just a dressed up pedometer. Not all activity is phsical.

When your brain works hard maybe you should figure 500 calories a day. Seems fair to me.

Thank you for your response Robotikarm. I asked this same question on the page for the GoWear Fit armband unit and a user said that you cannot clear the armband without the subscription. They said that the armband will only store 14 days of data and then needs to be cleared to continue. Is it your experience that the armband will continue to communicate with the display device without being downloaded or cleared?

Yes, it tells the amount of calories burned. It tracks steps, distance, calories burned, and fat burned.

Yes it displays the date and time. It also displays steps, mileage, calories burned, or date. How this works is the time is always displayed with each one of those categories below it depending on which one you select.

I don't think so. It has other charts but not that. I do like mine. I go to the gym. Since I move between exercises, a chart for me would be somewhat erratic. However, it does a good job of measuring my effort in three levels of intensity based on the percentage of maximum heart rate. At the end, I can see the maximum and average heart rate for the day. Good luck.

The watch features a week-long bar graph that shows daily information (steps, calories, distance, sleep) but ONLY in graph form. I haven't found a way to see the numbers for those days (ie number of calories burned).

BTW, you reminded me of how much I hate this pedometer...and I wore my HJ-720 EVERYDAY for those five years and now I go sometimes a week or two "forgetting." Well...I stand behind my testimony and went and ordered it instead, refund from Omron be damned, I am getting the pedometer I love and would highly recommend it over this one and have recommended it to friend after friend...It was $35 and since I paid with Discover bonus points, it was basically "free" to my mind. Best wishes...

I was an Indiegogo backer of Beddit and as of now I would recommend you save your money. I paid $100 for something that tells me when I went to bed and when I woke up? Really? So far that's all the information I get. Well, I do get an average heartrate during the entire night. Not sure how I would use that information. Unless it registered zero, then I might take some action. Beddit has a LOT of work to do on this.

While I haven't bought a refurbished unit lately, the meters I've bought all had calorie counters and were the kind that tracked your pulse via analog straps (Pulsar, Timex,). The calorie count would of course be an approximation as no input is provided for age, weight, etc.

If you mean you want to know how far you walked that time, it certainly displays that information on the screen. But if you mean cumulatively over time, it doesn't display that. Like other users mentioned in the comments, I've had trouble syncing the thumb drive to my online membership. For some reason, it never transfers the data. But I go online after each use and plug my information in (which really only takes about a minute or two) and the online system has kept track of my information for over 2 years now. So I can see monthly, yearly, and overall data on usage. If there's a way to track cumulative distance on the treadmill itself, I don't know about it.

I ordered the subscription and the only real benefit is the hardware replacement if unit stops working (2 year). You can order this anytime after you purchase and register your product as long as it's not end of life. I would not purchase a subscription if I ordered another.

I just spoke with omron on the phone and it does not. Too bad. Does anybody know of a unit where you can replace the batteries and it tracks calories? (it would also be cool if it showed min, max, and average heart rate for workout, but lets not get greedy). Dave JacksonLogical Weight Loss Podcast

No subscription required. Just register online for free to start tracking. It only tracks steps, so for even my elliptical, I have to enter the activity and time I spent doing it. I have mine synced with My Fitness Pal, and it works awesome for tracking activity and food intake. Love the fitbit, it makes me think more about being active.

Yep. Once you have it set up via the fitbit site and it knows your height/weight, the Zip shows you the following by default: Time, number of steps, estimate of calories burned so far today, distance walked today, and a "smiley face" that depends on how many steps you have walked. The calories burned and your distance is based on your height and weight and are not overly accurate. Via the fitbit site, you can have your Zip display all or any of these values. Very convenient once it is set up the way you like (a one time setup is all it takes).

When you're looking at the display with calories in the middle, click up or down. It should give you other sources for the main display.I have it set on distance. Once you've got what you want, go back to metrics/display. . Click left. You now have a choice of what to put in the upper left side of the screen. I chose duration. Then go back and chose something for the right. I picked pace. Then cycle back through and your watch should remember all three choices.

The way I understand it myself, you can review elements of your last workout. How long it stays in memory I am not sure. I am also reasonably sure that once you start a new workout that it overwrites the previously saved data. However I am going by what I understood of the manual because I do not use this feature myself. I do DDP Yoga and basically monitor my HR during my workout, once I am done, I simply move on.

Yes, I use it as a basic scale without the app. The app is just an added feature that allows you to track your progress if you wish.

I only use it while I work out to see calories burned during exercise so I know how much to eat to recover. I don't know how accurate it would be to monitor calories burned all day long as I doubt it takes in resting energy expenditure /basil metabolic rate.
