Guest guest Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 I've read that it is exactly the same device as the Bodybugg. I have the Bodybugg and I feel like it is pretty accurate. I have not compared it to wearing a HRM all day so I can't be totally sure, but it seems to be helping me. I think on the BodyBugg site they say it's ninety something percent accurate...that's enough for me. I'm hoping that the FitBit comes pretty close in accuracy to the BodyBugg. If it does I'm going to stop wearing the Bugg and only use the FitBit.The BodyBugg's metal sensors on the armband irriate my skin some and I have to take it off every day and clean the sensors with alcohol pads, and put a cream on my arm.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 The metal sensor is one thing I was afraid of with BodyBugg and GoWear Fit. I have sensitive skin and a nickel allergy. It seemed like the combo of a tight arm band and an itchy sensor might be very problematic. The FitBit looks like a better solution if I decide to measure my spazziness. :-) On Thu, Feb 12, 2009 at 10:33 AM, Click <body4lifehottie@... > wrote: > I've read that it is exactly the same device as the Bodybugg.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Yeah I was slightly concerned about it too, but it's not bothersome enough for me to stop wearing it. Just a slight irritation that cortizone takes care of. I'm totally excited about the Fitbit and can't wait for it to get here. I only wish I had seen it before I spent all the money on the BodyBugg. I'll be giving the BodyBugg to my mom once the fitbit comes... > The metal sensor is one thing I was afraid of with BodyBugg and GoWear > Fit. > I have sensitive skin and a nickel allergy.
