Helio LoureiroApparently there is not much difference between Fitbit and Garmin Forerunner.Statistics are pretty similar.I had expectation Garmin would be better in regarding of counting bike strokes as steps.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Garmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Garmin</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FitBit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FitBit</a>Please <a href="https://fuzzies.wtf/@altbot" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@altbot</a> describe the images.

Mike McCaffreyDear <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/Fitbit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fitbit</a>, what is the point of providing a mood tracker right now that doesn't give you the option of "outraged"?

HeidiIn today's Baking class we made cinnamon rolls. I admit- I cheated & ate half of one. They're freaking delicious. Left photo is a box of cinnamon rolls, right is a close up of one sitting on a plate, cut in half. This class took a lot of energy. I have 221 zone minutes on the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Fitbit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fitbit</a> and 6800 steps.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#food</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/baking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#baking</a>

My Fitbit Charge 4 does what I need, until those annoying plastic bits break. Solutions: Buy a new one - No. Super glue - possibly. Repair - tricky, those two tiny screws have sheared off. ( It's out of warranty).All suggestions gratefully received, thanks.

Lars Marowsky-Brée 😷<a href="https://mastodon.neilzone.co.uk/@neil" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@neil</a> It's also because they're not getting materially better. I use a <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Fitbit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fitbit</a> fitness tracker, and that hasn't gotten a sensor quality update or a new one in years. Instead, <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Google</a> in particular has made the app noticably (without exaggerating) worse, and it supposedly gets most of the smarts from the main compute which now sucks.Not the most compelling enticement for an new device.

Festering FerretThe biggest problem I have with Fitbit is that it doesn't register light exercise as being good for you. It rates my fitness as being fair to average, and recognises when I spend more than 10 minutes walking - but it doesn't include it as being officially good for my health.As this fitness rating is the result of light exercise, and the thought of adjusting my schedule to include anything more vigorous sends me fainting into the shrubbery (metaphorically speaking), I am going to have to ignore what Fitbit has to say about my exercise.I never had this problem with Google Fit - but Fit got back burnered in October (apparently) and has therefore got one foot in the grave. Plus, I can't link it to my watch.<a href="https://aus.social/tags/Fitbit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fitbit</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/PixelWatch3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PixelWatch3</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Fit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fit</a>

Kohan IkinAnyone else finding the new Cardio Load feature on <a href="https://mastodon.kohanikin.com/tags/Fitbit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fitbit</a> to be unhelpful - or even actively detrimental?It warned me I was significantly overtraining, and suggested I ease off - to bedridden levels. Even my walk to the shops was considered "overtraining". So as part of this experiment, I stopped treadmill & evening walks until it said to.Now it's telling me I'm undertraining & to do a 60-90 minute run today. Dude, it is literally 44 degrees, I'm not doing that.

Jonathan LittlewoodMy son told me his plan to switch from Fitbit due to the lack of a Web dashboard and missing or corrupted historical data. Telling him I was sure the history was fine, I stepped back through my data. Apparently, my lunchtime walk on the 23rd of July took 54.6 years...<a href="https://mastodon.cloud/tags/fitbit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fitbit</a>
