Space Chick Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I've been looking at activity trackers for a long while, but I've been waiting for the technology to catch up with what I wanted. This seems to have what I want but at a £200 price tag, I'm reluctant to "dive in", has anyone got one? If so, what do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angie Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 OH has one. he loves it. ( I have his old flex.) He has waited for this so he can wear it as a watch and not wear two things on his wrist. He is really pleased with it but has only worn it to shower in...he won't risk getting it wet. I wear the flex to swim in and it is OK. OH is only home till Friday morning so if you want to ask anything ask soon so he can send a reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 Thanks Angie, appreciate that! Two main questions: How does it react to short top up charges (I was thinking of doing mini charges when in the shower or bath) I cycle, and I know it doesn't like GPS for cycling! how easy is it to amend activities on the dashboard? (I have heard some people don't use the GPS and put that they are spinning as cycling exercise) Also if he has any pros and cons he'd like to share that would be awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angie Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 How does it react to short top up charges (I was thinking of doing mini charges when in the shower or bath) It actually says that's a thing you can do, I do it every other day. I cycle, and I know it doesn't like GPS for cycling! how easy is it to amend activities on the dashboard? (I have heard some people don't use the GPS and put that they are spinning as cycling exercise) Haven't tried any yet as I still getting used to it. I'll be able to give more info when I get back to work (next week) as that's where I use it most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angie Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Gosh he's not into chat is he.....he says it charges up really quickly , but he does his atm every other day, he's been home 10 days. You can change logged info by dashboard, clicking on the block ...say sleep. scan around the top right corner for the invisible edit logo, click and enter your relevant info or change exercise times , activity and then onto Log to keep the changes. It isn't difficult to use. The flex showed me just how bad my nights are. I showed my Rheumatologist my sleep record on my phone and he upped my drugs at night so I can get some decent rest.( break through pain arthritis) If nothing else while OH has been home I could see how much exercise he does and have had a good talking to him about doing more ! He said he wouldn't use the mp3 but I know he is ., caught him downloading, but he won't admit it. He won't say much but he really likes it.

Space Chick Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 Well, I decided to go for it Thanks to Angie and Angies OH for their help. Set up was dead easy and whilst it's not the most feminine thing ever, I am happy with it on my wrist Shall be looking forward to putting it through it's paces, but I'm fascinated by how I slept The dashboard and app are both quite simple to use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angie Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Reviewing this for spacechick. I am informed that the surge now has Cycling on its tracker. The revision is accessable when loading daily activity, OH didn't say how but the cycling activity id down loadable to your page. So you may have to look for it , but they have added it after requests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
