I have been wearing my Go Wear Fit armband for about 10 days now. It works perfectly and I am learning a lot about how many calories my body burns in motion and at rest. I am very knowledgeable about diet and fitness but being in my 40s the old diet tricks aren't working anymore and now I am learning precisely how many calories a particular kind of workout burns and seeing whether I am working hard enough (the "mets" feature).
The armband is comfortable even for sleeping and isn't really visible through clothes and definitely keeps me motivated - I don't like to see those fever charts flatlining where I burn one calorie per minute sitting at my desk. I also like that you don't have to "do" anything to get it to work (ie lots of typing in your food, etc.) -- it just goes along and records what you are doing. You can get the calories you are eating from the software -- it holds three days worth -- but I just look at what I am expending and keep track of food elsewhere. In fact Amazon has a really nice spiral bound food tracker journal that I bought -- I love that too and it was only $10.
The only thing I have struggled with was getting the device off the armband to plug it into the computer for my first use (it's not hard but the instructions are a bit lacking), and I also discovered the wireless feature for communicating with the computer doesn't exist yet. However, customer service wrote back the same day (a Sunday) when I emailed asking why I couldn't figure how to do it. (This feature is coming at some point.)
Finally - I just received the watchband display today (order them together here - you get the display for just $30)and it is simple to use and will allow me to see my calorie burn as the day goes on and also number of steps taken. It was ok plugging the device into the computer at night and waiting to see how I did for the day, but the deal was too good to pass up to get the display (it looks like a watch and also has a time setting so you can use it as one) and it might motivate me to walk more during the day.
Anyway - I really recommend this. This isn't the cheapest way to go but it was the right choice for me, and at the end of the day it costs the same as just a couple personal training sessions. I hope some day they add a heart monitor to it as well. But in the meantime I am very pleased and motivated to follow a fitness/nutrition program for the first time in a long while!Get more detail about GoWear fit Lifestyle and Calorie Management System.
