HOW did I live without this thing again?
Yes, I finally took the dive to Fitbit ownership. I must admit, I had considered it many times in the past, but because I lack the efficacy level to feel like I could possibly remember to wear things like this (let alone charge it,) I always procrastinated. But, I did it, the pristine, sleep and heavily touted Sense 2 was now fully charged and on the wrist, ready to win the day. Maybe? Out of the box, its pretty, very modern while also going with pretty much ANYthing you could wear (Yep, I wore it to a formal event.) This thing really does do a ton of things, many of which I didn't realize it was capable of: IMPRESSIVELY Fast charging (great because I'm terrible about this, like I said,) not only does it monitor exercise but also gives you reminders when you've sat too long (I ADORE this part,) it links with a scale, has alarms you can set, notifications from your phone, Do Not Disburb modes, senses sleep (so it doesnt disturb you,) AND not only does it analyze your sleep, it shows you exactly your variance of oxygenation which is super helpful if you're like my husband and have apnea issues... or think you might. It also of course does the stuff most know about including heart rate monitoring, cardiac episode monitoring (which in itself can save your life and is well worth the price of the watch,) amount of REM sleep and all sleep cycles, Calories burned in an exercise and a full day, Extensive weather forecasts, and a lot of stuff I'm sure I'm not mentioning... Oh! AND it's a pretty nice looking digital watch ;) One of my favorite ideas about this , is that is keeps collecting data and as it does, it gives you a much more accurate picture of your body's general performance/health. Much like how a Metastudy is a much more detailed and accurate picture than just a study, the more you wear this, the better, clearer picture of yourself you'll get... and WITH this info, it gives you tips on how to tweak your behaviors in order to be generally BETTER, and who doesn't want this?! Did I forget to wear this a lot? Yep, the first two weeks were frustrating on that front. In fact, once I even did a reversal in the driveway on my way to work to run back to get it. But like anything, its not hard to get used to, and I'm always forgetting I have it on. As I said before the charging ability of this thing is absurdly fast, which is great because most of the time, I'm forget to plug it in for a few days and just charge it on a car ride and it'd be full by the time I was at work. This is a little machine of straight up data you can use to immediately change behaviors and improve your life. I don't know about you, but I've spent a ton more on things that hardly did anything on that front. Nice to know there's a product out there that doesn't claim its a miracle, and still manages to change peoples lives much more than any miracle-cures I've seen!! :)
