My slim Fitbit Inspire 2 looks and feels great. We can even send each other challenges, to keep things interesting. We love that these babies are swim-proof, too, considering all the hand washing we're doing these days - and the fact that our daughter is part-mermaid. Sure there are other ways to motivate toward health goals, but for our family, the Fitbit has been a game-changer. Now we are all moving more and sleeping better. It miraculously arrived the same day! (Kudos, Prime!) He was over the moon. I picked out the Fitbit smartwatch model best suited to tech-savvy people: the Versa 2. My husband and I were about to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary - and I learned somewhere that the "modern" gift for that milestone is a watch. He was experiencing full-on FOMO! We began taunting him mercilessly with our cool stats and Fitbit lingo. The more we high-fived over accomplishments (like racking up lots of steps), the more envious my husband became. When our watches arrived the next day (speedy delivery is a perk of being an Amazon Prime member), we were stoked.

So I snapped up an Inspire 2 and invited my daughter to pick out her fave Fitbit Ace 2 (not on sale, but a great price ). I thought, she needs motivation for those mile-long treks to and from school. She loved her friend's fitness tracker, excited by the cute animations activated when fitness goals are met. (Lucky for you, it's on sale right now for $57!)Īround the same time, my 7-year-old was asking for a watch. Specifically, they directed me to the No. They overwhelmingly recommended Fitbit over the pricier Apple and Garmin models. I asked a group of folks with similar issues about their fitness trackers. Also, I'd been waking up so much in the night, I feared I was missing out on "deep sleep" altogether. Literally.Ī health concern rocked me and made me want to keep tabs on my heart rate. No shame in that, but I did not want that kind of pressure from a judgy watch. I'd assumed they were reserved for overly obsessed exercise nuts. But after the success I've seen with these devices, I officially take back everything I previously thought about fitness trackers. Not a fan of fitness trackers? This minimal-but-mighty band just might make you a convert.īefore I go on, let me get humble.
