Wow! This device is first rate all the way, I am pleased to find something that lives up to all the hype. I have only had this a few days, and I have not tested the support staff, how unusual is that!
My PC with Vista found the device, located the drivers, installed the software and I connected to the website. No problems.
The setup for my specifics was easy, I can see a lot of time and strength went into the development of this software. Being part of software development in my line of work, I can tell how solid it is right off.
Sure there is room for additions, but don't we expect that to just happen in this day and age? It's nice to see a solid product with room for improvement, rather than a product being beta tested by the public and a crud design. No complaints here.
To the expert reviewer that says a heart monitor is required, you might want to double check those facts. To anyone that thinks food tracking is missing, I have a suggestion. Track your food for three days using the software it is sooooo easy, and then keep going....... Do threeeeee more days.......you can do it!
If you are OK or better with a PC, you will love this. If not, I think it's simple enough that just about anyone can learn. If you love data and information (which is awareness and power here), you will look forward to the next day, so you can see how you did! How great is that, constant personal self awareness at your fingertips.
I am great at doing mindless eating, and that's part of why I am fat, but I would have to be brain dead to be able to tune out this reminder on my arm! And it doesn't nag or scream at me like my wife, "get out of that fridge, you don't' need those!" It just sits there and quietly watches me, a silent reminder like a good friend.
Want to know how many calories you burn doing that nightly walk? Want to know how many more you need to burn to meet your goal to lose weight that day? Want to make up for that cake? This is it!
Last night I asked my wife, come on honey, let's see how many calories we can burn doing that new exercise DVD! My oh my, I was pleasantly surprised! This thing even knows a basic burn rate when I have it off!
So many features here, I am not going to go through them, but let me add that the food tracking feature is easy, powerful and I can configure it, just for me!
Oh, if you are so poor that you can't pay the monitoring fee, then don't buy it, it's needed. But if you are that poor, what are you shopping on Amazon for, you better get a second job or a paper route! The food I am saving by not eating so much will pay for the device and the monitoring within 3 months easy!
I love this thing, I am getting one for my wife so we can burn calories together more often. I actually got mine from the manufacturer, but Amazon has 3 month monitoring thrown in and free shipping for me, so my wifes gift comes from them.
Oh, least I forget. Besides all the weight I am losing, I have a sleep disorder. I know my sleep chart because of past studies, and my GoWear fit does a great job of matching my pattern perfectly.
It's not a sleep assessment by any means, but I see when I lay down, I see when I drop off, I see the long block where I am in stage one and two. I also see my delayed rem sleep when my breathing stops, the cpap I use hits full speed and I hit dream land because I am actually able to stay asleep (mostly).
I also see if the cpap slips and I come out of sleep. I get a sleep efficiency number that is useful for me. What I mean is, I have another tool to help me monitor my sleep and my life.
I suspect some people might just uncover a sleep problem while using this to lose weight. Since there is often a connection between sleep disturbance and weight gain, I think this belongs. Best of luck, I think you will love this!
Update 02/22/2009: Down 24 pounds so far, this really makes it easy to lose weight, because I don't let myself eat more than the target, other than an occasional pig out day!
