Default Activity tracker advice

Hi, my wife is looking for an activity tracker and would like some input and personal experiences.

What I can gather so far- she wants a wrist style, a clock face would be nice. Is Bluetooth the way to go over USB? What features do you regret not getting?

Uh-oh... now she wants to track your activities?!


Sorry, Mitch- I have no real input, just had to share my wise-ass comment.

Mitch, my wife has a Fitbit that works well. Unfortunately it has been sitting idle for awhile now.... If she's serious about working out it is good to have but who really knows how accurate they are.
I'm not sure about the sleep tracking portion either as it seems to create more problems than it was worth.
Good luck!

Kinda large for a woman though.

My wife bought me a Fitbit. I activated it and started entering the info they requested. I tried entering the calories of different foods and got frustrated because the foods were either too specific or too generic. Nothing seemed user friendly and it took too much time to come up with each item. I could see the whole thing taking a lot of time out of my day and knew I wouldn't keep up with it. I ended up sending it back.

If you're going to get one, I suggest you look into the set up and the daily requirements before you make the leap. Be realistic about how you and/or she will keep up with it.
