Fitbits, FuelBands and Other Devices That (May) Monitor Fitness

Oh dear. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this concept. That is, recording my exercise during the day.

I lost one monitor from my wrist because the latch never fully engaged. It was ultimately recalled for allergy issues. I lost it before I could send it back.

Two of the tiny clip-on variety disappeared in the wash.

I don't give up easily.

A few weeks ago I ordered the one on the far right. Today I was notified that it was lost in transit. I then read that the entire team responsible for this product was fired. That loss turned out to be a good thing.

This is definitely a crazy/volatile market. Many want to utilize this technology. And many others want to cash in on that interest.

Fingers crossed that what I ordered today actually arrives, that it accurately records my steps and will stay where it belongs. 

Read on.

This is crazy. Read the rest.
