I purchased this about a month ago to help me with my fitness goals. It is dead-on accurate! It really helps me remain aware of the types of activity I do throughout the day and how much (or little) certain activities are to me. It has certainly inspired me to add little things throughout my day to boost the reading. I truly look forward every evening to uploading the data to see if I met or exceeded my goals for the day. It is one of the most motivating tools I've used as it really makes me aware of my body. I've experienced no technical difficulties and it operates perfectly and certainly lives up to the hype.Get more detail about GoWear fit Lifestyle and Calorie Management System.

I got this product as opposed to the Bodybugg specifically because this product (both made by the same company) tracks sleep patterns! I had trouble falling asleep for a few months and when I finally did fall asleep, woke up very tired because of my restless sleep. I got the Gowear fit because i wanted to improve and record my sleeping.
I have been wearing the gowear fit for 2 weeks and I LOVE IT!! My sleeping has improved by so much!
The Gowear tracking what calories are expended throughout the day is a HUGE motivator!! I go throughout my day wondering how I can get a bigger caloric deficit. I love it. :) Before wearing and tracking my food intake (you do it for 3 days on gowear fit and it gives you an average daily caloric intake), I didn't know the my CHOICES in food were high in calories and thus causing me to gain or maintain a thicker weight (things like cheddar cheese!! Who knew it had so much fat and calories in a little slice?!?!). Since tracking and wearing my gowear, I'm aware of what I put in my body (caloric input) and what caloric output I have.
What I DON'T love is wearing this band now that it's spring and summer. I wear short sleeves and this arm band needs to be worn on my upper left arm to monitor my body. It squishes my arm and makes my fat protrude. It's also attracts attention... attention that I don't want. people keep asking what I'm wearing on my arm. I quickly tell them, wishing I could wear it somewhere covered to avoid the questions. But if you don't mind attention and questions, then that won't be a problem.
I would suggest you be aware of the online subscription that needs to accommodate this purchase (separate fee that you obtain through the gowear fit website). I signed up for a year since it was at a discounted price. I wore this band for two weeks and thought to myself, i should've only done a month so i could see if I wanted to wear this band EVERYDAY for a YEAR... now I'm stuck wearing it all year since I already subscribed for a year's worth of online subscription.
if you don't want to subscribe online (the online activity manager is really cool though! It tells you when you've moved, how much you've moved, when you were lazy, how much you sleep, how consistent your sleep was, it's a pedometer, and it shows you vigorous vs. normal activity), you would have to buy the watch that tells you how much calories you've spent that day.
just be aware that this band needs to be partnered with either the watch or the online subscription.
I would HIGHLY recommend this product. But just be aware that to get your money's worth you would have to wear it everyday, in public (under long sleeve you can't see it unless wearing tight clothes), at night and willing to monitor yourself online or through the watch. If yes to these things, THEN DO IT!
my pants are already loose on me and my stomach has gone in a few inches. YAHOO! Get more detail about GoWear fit Lifestyle and Calorie Management System.

Cheap GoWear fit Lifestyle and Calorie Management System
This device is the best fitness invention out there! I have had it for about a week and I love it! It is totally accurate-you'll be amazed.
Some of the pros-you can set goals for weight loss, steps, vigorous and moderate exercise, hours sleeping, and calories burned. The charts are easily read-and you can even make charts to get an average of everything over a week, month, etc. You forget you have it on. You can upload the info at your leisure. The website is easy to use and it works with Vista.
Some of the cons- the box does not come with a whole lot of info. You have to read up about it on the website. Sometimes when you put it on it takes a few seconds for it to 'beep' to tell you it's working(so your not sure if you should move it up or just wait). You have to wear it only on your left arm(to get accuracy). To get the best results of calories burned, you should keep it on at least 10 minutes after exercising-so hold off on the shower for awhile. The cons are manageable and are not worth giving this gadget a second thought of buying.
You will not be surprised when you step on the scale-you know exactly where you are at with pounds lost.Get more detail about GoWear fit Lifestyle and Calorie Management System.
Buying GoWear fit Lifestyle and Calorie Management System
To sum it up quickly. IT WORKS. The website service now has DAILY food logging so you can see what you take in and exactly what you use up! Also there are options for daily reminders (like for water, meal, workout) that you can select throughout the day and the armband beeps at a set time. This can be adjusted whenever you do an upload.
I've had the armband since Jan 09 and can't go without it! I log my meals everyday and can see where I need improvement on the eating portion, really breaks down the protein, carbs, and fats. If the food you eat isn't in the database you can enter your own nutrition information. VERY well done and worth the $6.95 a month for a year contract!
I also have the display/watch so I can see my progress throughout the day without doing an upload. This has been the best feature for me. If I'm feeling lazy and don't want to walk or workout... looking at the display and seeing how LITTLE I've done for the day .... get's my butt in gear and I go walk! Just as a personal trainer would do for you. It is amazing how seeing your progress can motivate! The step counter, along with the activity counter..... add those up and you get a great caloric burn.
I've done uploads daily for the last 3 months. No problems with the functioning of the device. I leave it plugged in and do the upload when I do my shower and that's it. No extra charging has been needed and it always has a full charge.
VERY accurate. The sleep tracking is very interesting and right on! It knows everytime you move or get up!
Keeps you accountable.... you can't cheat on it! It knows everything and if you are true about you eating part the results will show.

Purchase GoWear fit Lifestyle and Calorie Management System
This seemed like a great idea--a band that logs all of your calories in and calories out, but at what price!? Little do they tell you that no info, not even HR during workout is available to you while it's on and that to access any info you have to pay for a website. You can order something separate for even more money to be able to see the basic HR etc. info. Terrible. While you get used to wearing it and even often forget it's on, it sticks out in clothes and is visible to others so it is not remotely discrete for daily wear. It also is a bit inaccurate and fluctuates when it is receiving info so some of your workout may not be logged. Overall I would not recommend it as it is not nearly worthy the money and simply keeping a food journal and using a HR monitor would much better suit the needs of a dieter and provide better quality info. They also seem to mislead you into thinking it actually assesses needs such as water, vitamins, nutrients, etc which it does not.Get more detail about GoWear fit Lifestyle and Calorie Management System.

Tracking what you eat and the calories you burn can be fun and great motivation to get more exercise and drop some pounds. I love gadgets, and this is one of my favorites.

When I read about this item, I was so excited... but here are the facts. There are so many programs out there like Diet Power that are a lot less expensive and show your progress better. FIRST you have to subscribe to the GoWear Fit website (3 months free) THEN they will charge you monthly. Your body bugg is pretty much useless without it. It gets VERY annoying having to wear it all the time and does cause some irritation when you work up a sweat if you have sensitive skin. You do not want to wear this to bed, it is very uncomfortable to wear all the time.

I have been using it for three weeks. I have lost weight. I didn't realize how powerful the information would be for me. I have learned just how inactive I am on some days. I have learned that I have to stay active daily. I would recommend this to someone who needs the reality of the numbers to help them lose weight. I am committed to using this for one year. So far so good. One warning, before committing to the service first make sure you are not allergic to the plates that monitor your activity. I have to remember to move the accelometer to different sites everyday. If I put it in the same spot I got a dermatitis. Since changing the site no problem.Get more detail about GoWear fit Lifestyle and Calorie Management System.

This is a great product. It works good and I like it. However, when I decided I needed to order a larger sized arm band, I found that although the replacement band was only 8 dollars, I had no other option but to pay over 10 dollars for shipping. I absolutely hate having to pay more for shipping than for the product I am ordering. Haven't they ever heard of the United States Postal Service? They only offer UPS, which is really overkill for a replacement arm band.Get more detail about GoWear fit Lifestyle and Calorie Management System.

GoWear fit Lifestyle and Calorie Management System Best Quality
After wearing the system for four weeks now I can honestly say this product is fantastic. Not only does it tell me how many steps I took, how many calories I burned and consumed, BUT best of all was the info it dumped out on my sleep. I have known for ages that I have very poor sleep but this thing told it all. You see every day you upload the device on the computer and all the info is revealed. You can click on each sections arrow and see in graph detail when you consumed the most calories and burned the most, etc... this is especially cool on the sleep section as the graph shows when you were asleep and awake, when you get the best sleep and worst. I learned that in any given night I get just over four hours of sleep and it isn't solid, it is all broken and disrupted, in fact there are times where I am awake for long periods at a shot. So this has helped me make changes to the comfort of my bed and pillow. Anyway I absolutely love the GoWear fit system and highly recommend it. If you are a person that loves to see your day in detail like I do you will love it too. I have lost 5 lbs. With all the info at your access you can lose weight because you know whether you burned more than you consumed. It is cool. Oh and in the calories consumed arrow down section it gives a pie chart and break-down of how much you ate was fat, carb, protein etc... The amount of knowledge I have gained by using this system is beyond what I expected. Get more detail about GoWear fit Lifestyle and Calorie Management System.
GoWear fit Lifestyle and Calorie Management System Get it now!
I initially looked at the GoWearFit (GWF) as a calculator only for the workout activity I try to do every day - I use an online database to track my hikes, bike rides and etc. and its automatic caloric calculator hasn't seemed very accurate. I planned to only wear the device for a couple hours a day to track my exertion, but upon receiving and using it I've been having trouble making myself take it off! I'm pleased to report that I've had it for about ten days now and literally couldn't be happier with it.
Like others, I was skeptical when I first purchased the product. Would it be bulky and uncomfortable? Would it track activity properly? And most pressing, in my world - would it connect to and upload to my Macintosh computer without problems?
When I first got the box from Amazon, I was alarmed to notice the "system requirements" printed on top of the box talked about Windows 2000 with various RAM configurations, etc. I unwrapped it and tried to keep all the packaging in pristine condition since I figured I'd have to return it - I'm a hardcore Macphile and simply won't use anything that requires me to install Windows of any flavor. However, I noticed upon unpacking the box that it came with a standard mini-USB to USB connector, which is good news when connecting to Mac - usually the device shows up right on the desktop and isn't a pain to configure, so I crossed my fingers.
As others have mentioned you do have to sign up at GoWearFit.com to even get the device to turn on and to collect data. Using Safari, I had no problems creating an account whatsoever, and - the best part - the device powered up like a champ, connected to my COM port right away and the software installation completed without incident. (It's not Firefox-compatible, which is strange, but as I routinely use both browsers it's not a problem for me.) Others have reported trouble with the Java applet interface GWF uses, but Apple system updates seem to have furnished the correct, updated version on my machine.
So I started wearing the armband. As others here have mentioned, it's almost spooky how well the GWF will calculate your activities. One afternoon I was sitting around the house knitting and at one point I got up to get a drink of water - later the spike of activity for my walking to the sink showed up in my GWF activity monitor. Imagine my joy upon discovering that moving some boxes in the garage burned up 300 calories!
Honestly, even after so little time I'm just not sure how I lived without this wondrous gizmo. Some information I realized early on that made me feel like a kid on Christmas morning: The website I use to track my workouts and other activities was UNDERestimating the calories I was burning on the elliptical and similar by as much as 200 kcal!!! This means I'm actually doing much better than I had realized, and only a few tweaks to my calorie count and diet are already showing results.
As others have mentioned, the GWF really does make you think up ways to burn more calories each day, especially if you're trying to hit daily caloric and activity targets. Since its timeline is so specific, this is easy to do - once you've walked up a certain set of stairs, say, and learned how many calories that burns, you can mix and match that with another activity to consume however many calories you like for that day. Earlier this week I realized some yard work and light chores around the house I'd been doing sporadically could easily add up to the extra 150 calories that let me eat an evening ice-cream treat without gaining weight.
As a final note, I'll add that I, like millions of Americans, suffer from ADHD - attention deficit disorder. I have a hard time remembering what activities I've done and what things I've eaten, and I tend to overconsume caffeine and most especially sugar - which has previously contributed to an unhealthy weight gain. Wearing the GWF has been a real "eureka!" experience - getting the exact number of calories I've burned and on what day (the GWF has been estimated to about 90% accuracy) has allowed me to target caloric intake vs. activity in a way I simply wouldn't have been able to accomplish on my own. While using the GWF along with another calorie-tracking program released for the IPhone, I honestly think I have a real shot at dropping the 30 pounds that have been dogging me for the past dozen years.
I'll revise the review later on as I have more information, but at this point I think the GWF system is going to result in real life changes for me.
The one and only downside has been that the unit isn't waterproof, so you can't use it to track calorie use during swimming or (my favorite athletic pursuit) scuba diving. I'm looking into getting a Polar heart rate wristwatch to monitor those activities. Also, if I don't move the GWF onto the back of my arm before I go to sleep I can wake up lying on it, which isn't very comfortable...luckily the fix is as simple as remembering to adjust it a little before bed.
My particular unit will go for five or six days before I have to recharge it. I have a little alarm set in my copy of ICal to remind me to leave it plugged in overnight every so often.
In short, this item is WELL worth the investment. As others have said, don't test fate - buy GWF and lose that weight! Good luck!Get more detail about GoWear fit Lifestyle and Calorie Management System.

GoWear fit Lifestyle and Calorie Management System Decide Now
This is a fantastic waste of money. The arm band is uncomfortable and downright painful if you do any exercise that pumps blood into your arms (pumping arms while running, on the elliptical, weight training, power yoga, etc). So you have to estimate for those activites, plus swimming and outdoor biking, which also don't track accurately (skin tempurature isn't exactly a great way to track calories burned when you are outside biking and a breeze is cooling your skin as you go). The step-counter isn't accurate (they will say it is in their 90% accuracy range, but I think it should be better). The user interface that is downloaded from the website is not particularly user-firendly, I had to delete and download everytime I wanted to update my stats to get it work properly, which compromises the tracking...which makes the whole exercise even more useless...I work with computers for a living, so I do know what I am doing, it is just that their program kind of stinks.
Seriously, save your money and invest in a good pair of running shoes, a new gym membership, or some comfy exercise clothes. I won't say it is a scam, because I guess it kinda sorta does what it says it does, but it is a huge gimick that provides no useful information.

I purchased the GoWear Fit armband in mid-March and began using it March 26th. Since then I have lost 10.5 lbs. The whole system of the armband keeping track of calories burned, steps taken, activity measurement, and the online logging of food intake is great. It has made me more aware of what I am consuming and that exercise is the key to sustaining weightloss and a healthier lifestyle. I am the type of person who needs a little structure for weightloss and this system definitely does the job. The armband took a little getting used to, but now I don't even notice it is on. I did not purchase the display unit due to its high price tag. I thought I would first try the armband and see if I would want to later purchase the display unit and try to see if the price would go down. Now having used the armband for 2 months, I really do not find the need to purchase the display unit. I plug in the armband to upload the data to the computer before I go to sleep and when I wake up in the morning. I can however see the benefit of the display unit if one needs even more structure and motivation to keep exercising. Amazon has great customer service and shipped promptly.

I purchased the body bug to get information I could not get from a heart rate monitor. It tallies your daily energy burn and sleep time quite well. Those are very useful and positive. The down side is the subscription you need to upload the information is lacking in the nutrition area. Very limited and/or unclear when logging the meals. For instance, a hamburger is listed several ways, hamburger with vegetables (guessing tomato, lettuce, etc) or hamburger with cheese (what no toppings if you have cheese), or just hamburger, but does it mean it includes the bun, when the bun can also be added separately. The point of this rant is that unless I have a package with the nutritional data to enter myself, I am at a loss as to know my true calorie intake, which effects how I manage my diet and excercise balance. So it is a good product, but is companion needs a lot of work.Get more detail about GoWear fit Lifestyle and Calorie Management System.

I ran across this while browsing popular items on Amazon (one of my new favorite guilty pleasures). I am always looking for a way to motivate myself to get more active. I seem to have a short attention span so I need something that grabs me and keeps me interested.
I am happy to say - this has done the trick. I really enjoy tracking all the info and it has helped me lose 6# in the past four weeks. I have been reading a lot of the reviews and I would just like to offer my perspective on some of the issues.
The description on Amazon clearly states that the monitoring is web-based and that it has a monthly fee. It goes over the different costs and committments so I am not sure why that would be perceived as deceptive.
It also goes over in detail what the monitor is going to measure for you. I can't find any reference to tracking your vitamins or water intake and I wasn't looking for that anyway.
Yes the directions in the box are brief and could have been more user friendly.
The food log definitely needs to be improved, but I like to eat the same thing so I have been loading my favorites in myself and then I am good to go. That is not a big issue for me, but I have seen better.
I have not had any problems loading the program onto my computer or its on-going use. I have never had it freeze up or the armband not download.
The amount of sleep reporting has been an eye opener for me and is one of my favorite things - I was assuming I was getting a lot more sleep than I was.
I haven't had any issues wearing the armband. I move it around my arm during the day if I feel I need to. I wear it pretty much all the time and I haven't noticed it cutting off my circulation or hampering my arm while I exercise. I do a lot of walking, some running and resistance band exercising and it hasn't bothered me.
I am reviewing an item not telling you how to exercise, but in my mind I get a lot of great information and motivation to stick to my exercising that no gym membership ever gave me. I think that exercising is a personal thing and that you need to find what works for you.
I feel that this is the definition of "knowledge is power". I am so much more aware of the ins and outs of my calories each day and it has changed my eating and exercise routine.

It is very motivating to see what simply working out, even just a little bit, can do.

Where To Buy GoWear fit Lifestyle and Calorie Management System
Works like a charm! My favorite thing about this device it that it keeps me accountable 24/7. I bought the display too and wear it as a watch. In the evening when I really feel like sitting on the couch with the remote in hand, I check how many calories I have burned for the day and then I know that I really need to go around the block a few times before I sit in front of the TV. The only annoying thing is everyone asks what it is. It did not bother me at first, but after a month of "Whats that on ur arm?" -- its getting tedious.Get more detail about GoWear fit Lifestyle and Calorie Management System.

GoWear fit Lifestyle and Calorie Management System Top Quality
I'm really happy I let myself spend the $ on this product. It tracks everything, it's like having a personal trainer following me around. It's very motivating, too, having all of your data if you are honest and plug in all that you are eating It's right there in black and white. You can see what you have to do to work off that cookie! Personally, I wouldn't go it without the watch to give instant feedback. Battery life is long.Get more detail about GoWear fit Lifestyle and Calorie Management System.

I have had the armband and wrist display for 5 weeks now. I have been wearing the armband for 23+ hours per day and logging all food to the website.
The good:
- If you are not moving your body or eating properly you will see that with these tools.
The bad:
- The wrist display is dainty. I think it looks feminine and I will not wear it - ever.
- The website collects all your data and you are really limited to what you can do with it. You cannot export your data or tag periods of time with your exercise information. So going back historically is useless. All you get to see is the daily totals. Boring...
- The website graphs are junk. You cannot control their behavior. If they would add axis sliders it would be a great improvement.
- Here's my biggest complaint so far: The armband does not calculate your caloric burn accurately. The website doesn't tell you this before buying it. I compared the results from biking and rowing to what the website says I did. The website was off by 30% or more. I contacted GoWear fit's support about the discrepancy. Their response "we recommend that you remove the armband during the specific exercise and manually enter the (caloric) calculation into your summary after you are finished." Great...
My enthusiasm for the product is rapidly diminishing. I had hopes of using this as a tool to help improve my training and instead I have to do more work manually because the product cannot do what it is supposed to do.Get more detail about GoWear fit Lifestyle and Calorie Management System.
GoWear fit Lifestyle and Calorie Management System Immediately
I ordered the GoWear fit Lifestyle and Calorie Management System and the GoWear fit Display Device and absolutely love them. When i received the product i was able to order the online service via the GoWear fit website and it was fast and easy to get setup. I have had this product for over a month now and continue to wearing it daily. ONE WARNING: be serious when you order this. It does take some serious discipline to enter my food daily and also go online and review my sleeping patterns and my exercise for the day. I have suggested this to anyone and everyone i know. I wish more people would really be aware of the calories we consume and how much we actually burn. It is amazing how many calories i was taking in before i started tracking them. I had to change my eating habits which wasn't that difficult but still time consuming. I am finally getting into a groove of using this product.
As for the battery, i am totally amazed how long it lasts. I usually charge it for about 30 minutes twice a weekand it lasts the week with extra battery left.
This is an amazing product. Get more detail about GoWear fit Lifestyle and Calorie Management System.

I think the product is really cool EXCEPT that as a woman a lot of my work attire has short/capped sleeves or snug fitting sleeves that I can't wear this with. I made an effort to wear long sleeves the first week (I live near the equator- not real practical) and people still noticed it. For more formal short sleeved work looks I couldn't wear it at all. I now pretty much only wear it to work out which kind of defeats the purpose. If they made it to fit around the ribs like a heart rate monitor and made it in a more neutral color (you can see the black under a lot of light colored clothes) I think it would be much easier to wear under anything.
Bottom line: its a cool gadget, but the creators did not have women's clothing in mind when they made it. Get more detail about GoWear fit Lifestyle and Calorie Management System.

I bought the GoWearFit to lose weight and to start training for a 5K walk. When I put on the device I noticed that I had pain in the back of my arm where the device contacts the skin. I did not notice any rash or burning just pain. I thought it would go away as I got used to the device but it did not. So I called GoWearFit. I told them it was not the tightness of the armband (size was fine) but the metal plate piece that caused the pain. They told me to stop wearing the device and check with my doctor. According to the person at GoWearFit that I talked to the metal plate also contains nickel which is not listed in the PDF (just 304 grade stainless steel). I am allergic to nickel and have to wear hypoallergenic earrings so I would not have bought it if it had a warning. Evidently others have experienced allergic reactions as well. So while it is latex free there can still be potential allergic issues. I am within the 30 day warrenty so Amazon is working with me to get my refund. So while it was a cool idea in reality it was a bust for me.

I have had the GoWear Fit for about 4 months. I have found it to be pretty accurate at counting my calories burned based on a metabolic test I took and calculations using other methods. It has helped me see that sitting around all day burns so few calories there is no way I can eat a normal amount! When it hits noon and I have only burned 500 calories, I know it's time to go for a walk and clean the house. It's a great motivator and has given me a better understanding of my real activity level.

I must admit that I was a bit skeptical when I first started researching this product after seeing a similar version on The Biggest Loser. I have been using it for nearly 3 weeks now and while I've only lost 3 pounds, the technology is there for when I am truly dedicated about the diet portion of weight loss. I have tested the GoWear Fit by doing various exercises and then logging on to the Web site to see where my energy peaked and I can pretty much map out my day by looking at where the calories being burned increases/decreases dramatically. When wearing the device, I have found myself much more conscious of logging my meals and I am definitely less compelled to "cheat" with bad foods because I can quickly look (with additionally purchased watch) to see if I've had too lazy of a day to risk throwing in high-caloric choices. I would recommend to anyone needing that additional incentive to lose weight!!!!!Get more detail about GoWear fit Lifestyle and Calorie Management System.

I went back and forth for awhile about spending so much money on a health item. All I can say now is, I am so glad I did! It has been worth every penny and I know I will get my money's worth out of it for years to come.
The monitor seems to be extremely accurate. Wearing it makes me very aware of my calorie output. It motivates me to get up and get moving. (It's VERY dismal if I have a day when I just sit around-- I can see why sedentary people would gain so much weight even eating normal amounts of food).
My only complaint is that I feel a little silly wearing it around (especially now that it is summer and I'm wearing short sleeves and tanks.)
Also, I can't really comment on the food tracking. Instead, I use iPhone's free App called Lose It!, which is very user-friendly.
I do wish the watch were a little less expensive. I think it would be helpful, but I couldn't justify the extra money to spring for it. It's really no big deal though to upload your data a few times a day (if you're slightly obsessed like me!).
So, a 2 thumbs up review from me. No complaints and it has already helped me shed a few pounds and more importantly, get more active. Get more detail about GoWear fit Lifestyle and Calorie Management System.

I've been using my Go Wear for about a month, while I've only lost 2 lbs the data shows me why I've only lost 2! It motivates you to move more to achieve your goals and by eating a sensible diet you do get results. I've honestly logged every calorie this past month and my report shows that I need to reduce my carbohydrate calories, increase my protein and get moving more even on my rest days from the gym.
The sleep data has been so helpful, I'm making an effort to get to bed earlier and I notice now I can tell when I've gotten close to my 8 hours before I've even logged in for the day.
Yes, there's a subscription fee but they've made improvements to the food log and website just since I've joined and I feel like it's a small price to pay to analyze the data properly.
Is it an annoying conversation starter? Sure, I'm female and I wear a lot of tee shirts etc. but I've no problem summing it up with a quick: "it's a health device that helps me monitor my activity"
I don't wear the display device as a watch cause it is cheap plastic but I carry the display button in my bag or pocket and check it throughout the day.
I ordered a few extra bands from the company directly so I wash one each night so I always have a clean one to wear. They do get gross after gym time. The unit is easy to clean with some rubbing alcohol and I move the band slightly throughout the day to prevent irritation. Unless you have an allergy, you shouldn't have any issues with the band-it's not necessary to wear it so tight that you can't lift weights like a previous review stated.Get more detail about GoWear fit Lifestyle and Calorie Management System.

Low Price GoWear fit Lifestyle and Calorie Management System
I've had my GoWear Fit for three weeks now. I love it.
What I puchased: the armband, the display unit, and 6 mos of online subscription.
Initial impression:
Armband - good fit and finish; very lightweight; armband was a little too snug for a 300 lb man (but has loosened up with wear); took around 3 hours hooked to computer USB for initial charge-up.
Display - good fit and finish; displays time, mins of moderate activity, minutes of vigorous activity, steps taken, calories burned; displays yesterday's totals for the above info; has a "trip" that you can zero out and measure over a certain time period; has a light; displays the targets set in your software; beeps at you when you meet targets.
Online software - was iniitally confusing; you download some database software to your computer, but can't execute/do anything. The downloaded software just stores your data for interpretation by the online subscription software, which is a Java application. Once I realized I had to both install something on my computer AND run the Java app from the website... it was very smooth.
What it does:
The armband continuously tracks your steps taken and calories burned. It also records minutes of moderate and minutes of vigorous activity, based on its interpretation of how you are moving and the heat/sweat you are generating. The software graphs it out for you and allows you to make PDF reports.
Why I like it:
1) I am a 41-year old, 5'10", 315 lb man who has recently solved one health problem and can now finally focus on weight. The software told me to eat 3480 calories/day. That is the first helpful bit! I was cutting my calories too much, based on other calulators, and feel better with more energy at this higher calorie level.
2) It told me that if I'm eating 3480 calories/day, I need to burn an extra 1000 calories/day to lose a couple pounds per week. OK, eat 3480...burn 4480! Got it!
3) It showed me that I was burning ~2480/day with my desk job and no exercise... ouch! I needed to burn another 2000 calories/day! No wonder I'm having problems. But using this armband and display has really increased my awareness of how sedentary my life had become during my illness. I find myself checking the display of steps and calories several times/day and the data reminds me to get up and take a walk around the block every couple hours.
Key point: It acts as a constant source of awareness and motivation to just get up and move every once in awhile!
Three weeks ago, I said to myself, "Oh crap! There's no way I can burn 4480 calories in a day. I'm too fat and too out of shape!"
But now, three weeks later, I've hit that goal twice and it's becoming easier and easier. I started going on a few little 15-minute walks/day. Then they turned into two brisk 25-min walks/day. I started parking further away at my work's parking lot, to make my steps goal. I started parking farther away from stores when going out on errands. And I see instant, measureable results in my "steps taken" and "calories burned" through the GoWear Fit. I find myself constantly pushing to get my calories burned a little higher every day.
This daily "calories burned game" is also a much more approachable goal than looking in the mirror and saying "my goal is to lose 140 pounds". I don't do that anymore (much). Now I simply look at my GoWear display and say, "my goal is to hit 4480 calories-burned today". It's a much more manageable (sane) mindset. And it's getting results. My fitness level is getting better and I'm starting to lose weight! I'm much more active and I've lost several pounds in the last three weeks, without really dieting.
Anyway, I can say that the GoWear Fit is really helping me realize how sedentary I was and how easy it is to make lots of little adjustments to become significantly more active. I love it!
A side note about "BodyBugg":
As near as I can tell the GoWear Fit and the current version of the BodyBugg (known as "v3" or "black") are the same device by Body Media. Body Media's website describes the BodyBugg as a "fitness club solution" and the GoWear Fit as a "personal solution". The BodyBugg appears to be marketed through Apex Fitness (24 Hour Fitness Club) while the GoWear Fit is the direct-to-market version sold directly from Body Media. I think they may have different software interfaces...
Sleep Efficiency:
The GoWear Fit software reports "sleep efficiency". As near as I can tell, this is sort of a bogus piece of data. It seems to just look at how much time you are prone (lying down) and assumes that you are asleep if you are remaining still. I've had it tell me I am sleeping when I am lying back in my recliner reading a book, so it's not the greatest measurement of "sleep". I've stopped wearing my armband at night, and I just let it fill in the default 1.8 cals/min for the hours I don't wear it at night.
I still rate the product 5 stars, because "sleep efficiency" measurement is not why I bought the device. I bought it to see roughly how many calories I was burning and to help motivate me to be more active. And this device rocks for that!
EDIT: I've had it about 7 weeks now. I've lost about 12 pounds. Still no problems with the GoWear Fit and still think it's a great product. Is it worth the price tag? That depends on your pocketbook.
But I still think it's a great tool for making yourself more aware of how much (or how little) activity and calorie burn you're really getting on a daily basis.Get more detail about GoWear fit Lifestyle and Calorie Management System.

This is the first time I have done a review on Amazon on any product!!
Short review: THIS Product will empower you with information to manage your calories!!
Long Review:
First of all I was not fully convinced that this product would work for me. I was also not a fan of the monthly charges to see my results graphed. Nonetheless, I have been very frustrated with my lack of progress on losing weight eventhough I watch my diet and ride 40 to 80 miles on my bicycle on weekends and hit the gym at least twice a week.
I have used this since Monday, it has changed the way I think about my daily activities. Being a computer geek, I spend a lot of time in a chair in front of computer, sometimes not getting out of my chair for hours (like 3 to 4) at a time.
I learned (really confirmed) over a year ago with MANY tests, a doctor and a "spa", that I have a VERY LOW metabolism. And even counting my calories and exercising more, I really did not understand what my body is doing and how to best "exercise".
I LOVE THIS PRODUCT. First of all I except the "calculations" of calories burned (I have seen some reviews arguing/discussing this, but i don't argue with an involving science). Once I did that, I feel I have control of what I do to burn more calories. This has motivated me to more walking and as well as going to the gym.
I have used (and still use) a LOT of gadgets. I have Garmin 305 to monitor my bike rides. I have an old Polar for my heart rate. All have been good to improve my fitness. But these last 15-20 lbs to lose has been frustrating for years!!
I truly believe that watching my calorie intake AND managing my calorie burn will MAKE the difference.
I am 49 year old female who is in full menopause for over 2 years. So the course of life, has affected my metabolism. But with the GoWear I feel I am more in control and no longer have to guess as to what my body and metabolism is doing.
My recommendation to ANY woman who is struggling with weight should use this product. Think of this as a tool to empower you to make better choices.

I bought my Bodybugg nearly 6 weeks ago and absolutely love it. I also have the visual display and wear both of them nearly everywhere. The Bodybugg reminds me of where I am at all times in reference to my goals. I started walking within 2 weeks of purchasing it and by the third week I began jogging. Unfortunately, I was so motivated that I broke my leg (stress fracture) from doing too much too soon, but that was not the fault of the device. Now it monitors the calories that I am burning on my crutches. It reminds me that if I am tempted by a higher calorie item then I will offset a lot of activity and/or work. I've lost 16 pounds in just under six weeks and have no doubt that my Bodybugg will help me to meet and maintain my goals. It has made my fitness plans tremendously simpler.Get more detail about GoWear fit Lifestyle and Calorie Management System.
