Stop making activity trackers that don’t tell you what time it is! A bracelet that tracks my steps… no thanks. A watch that tracks my steps… yes please.
Amazon reviews scared me away. My Pixel phone and Google Fit well have to do. It recognizes that I’m biking on my exercise bike if it’s in my pocket, so that’s a real plus over this anyway.
Sadly, I got some of these during an earlier sale and they never did work right. Software was crap, connections were unstable, and this was on a Nexus 5. They might be better on iOS though.
@TellarHK Agreed on the crap software. Never could find my son when trying to find friends. They promised me an update “soon” when I contacted them about it, over a year ago. Still the same software version.
@RedOak I’ve been wearing a black rubber bracelet for… Gosh, I think it’s probably about five or six years at this point. It originally had words on it and was a support bracelet for a friend with cancer, but now the words have worn away and I just wear it because I pretty much only wear black.
@Tadlem43 No, you can download the data later. But they still suck. I walked miles by driving an hour in my car. The “friends” thing could never find my son. They promised an update to fix that, but it never happened.
It’s $10. My doctor says I need to walk more. Love the order words, what more do I need? It is sort of lame that I need my phone with me, but will try it at least. Worst case I’m out $10. Plus it pays for my VMP membership this month, and I’m only one day in!
I got these the last time, they suck. They added 30 steps from me sitting down and standing back up… The app for them sucks as well. not worth it at all. Better off counting your own steps.
@Jcast617 Because then these particular ones would actually be useful, at least as a watch. Mine tracked me walking miles while driving in my car. And the app sucks.
If you really want a fitness tracker, get a Fitbit. You get what you pay for. I like having an actual watch on my wrist, too, instead of just a tracker.
I’m looking for stuff to buy as I have VMP this month, but I put two pedometers in my latest donations box yesterday so I’m going to have to give this a pass. I have an app called Walk for a Dog that tracks my walks and makes donations to Great Dane Rescue of El Paso. So when Simba walks, he donates to the rescue that saved his life when he was taken to Animal Control, not to be surrendered for adoption, but with a request he be euthanized . https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.actionxl.wooftrax.wfad
@OCBill3 At 5 months old he weighed over 60lbs and was about the size of an adult German Shepherd. He had never been socialized nor trained and was so aggressive toward other dogs that he’d frenzy on lead and snap at the handler. He’s an alpha male and needed strong early leadership, instead he was taken to the pound and his owners said he was uncontrollable and dangerous and needed to be put down. The AC officer observed that he was good with people, so decided to give him a chance and called Great Dane Rescue. I’d just lost my previous rescue to breast cancer, and they asked if I’d take him on. He was some handful, I put in a lot of hours educating myself and rigorously training him. As a result he is so well behaved that we became a therapy team and visit Alzheimers patients, the mentally ill, and participate in children’s reading programs.
Meh – I am depending on you to fit tonight’s deal with something that blows. I admit, these fitness bands blow, but they don’t blow, you know – and right now – I got too much snow to show, and that too, blows. Hint: /giphy meh-sells-gas-powered-snowblower
Box claims 14 day battery life. Mine is at 50% after one day of doing almost nothing. Also doesn’t appear to actually track sleep. 0/10 I’ll just keep using my smartwatch.

Yes! New Years resolution here I come!..Not
Meh, already have a Pebble… let’s just hope it doesn’t stop working out of nowhere…
I’m speed walking away from this one.
You know why it’s called Snap? Because that’s what the band does, and then goodbye fitness tracker.
@Mehsturbator Upon further reading, it appears I was wrong. Snap is actually an acronym, SNAP, that stands for Shitty No-good Awful Product.
Snap crackle and tracking in the new year
Meh indeed.
Hey … trying to be more efficient this year … so if you have a birthday in 2017, happy birthday to you!
Maybe we’ll get a bag of Fuko? Nah, aim low.
Happy Meh year. How dare you try to help my resolution.
Wow. For a holiday deal, this one was aggressively mediocre. I wouldn’t expect any less from you, Meh. Love you!
Snap! . . . I’ve Got the Power
Oh Snap. It’s 2017.
Stop making activity trackers that don’t tell you what time it is! A bracelet that tracks my steps… no thanks. A watch that tracks my steps… yes please.
NO_snap NO_snap NO_snap NO_snap NO_snap bought two other 2-fers and the kids ain’t using 'em.
I wonder how many steps these would have tracked for Mariah Carey’s awkward NYE fail. Can you Milli Vanill steps?
Girl you know it’s true…

uncredible
For when you want a black plastic bracket… actually one for each wrist.
Much cooler than a black rubber band.
@RedOak I’ve been wearing a black rubber bracelet for… Gosh, I think it’s probably about five or six years at this point. It originally had words on it and was a support bracelet for a friend with cancer, but now the words have worn away and I just wear it because I pretty much only wear black.

I was hoping for another mop
I got a lot of 2016 in the kitchen that needs to be cleaned up.
Happy New Year Mehtizens!
You have to have your phone on you for this to work?? Really?? You can’t just download it later?
@Tadlem43 No, you can download the data later. But they still suck. I walked miles by driving an hour in my car. The “friends” thing could never find my son. They promised an update to fix that, but it never happened.
@OutbackJon Thanks. I’ll pass then. Happy New Year!

@jds2001 you don’t need your phone with you. Syncs up once you get close. They’re worth $5 each.
Hey fat fuck! Too cheap for a Fitbit? Buy this! double decker cheato finger!
I bought these last time and weren’t worth the package they came in. Horrible.
Introducing the non-functional fitness watch/device to be sent to everyone in the fukobukuro 14…
@jason2483
Good, because not everybody got a DOA meta watch in fuko 13.
@PlacidPenguin It wasn’t in 12 or 13 (I didn’t get those) but I did get a meta watch in a fuko|u. It wasn’t DOA, tho I never actually tried using it.
@jason2483 I would so go for a Metawatch again. Why? The bands. If nothing else, Metawatches have nice bands that you can reuse.
@PlacidPenguin
I like you. Is placid also an acronym describing how unapologetically accurate you are?
@TellarHK
I am not expressing disappointment! I, for one, appreciate the conversation piece on my arm. The meta watch is a great ice breaker.
I got these the last time, they suck. They added 30 steps from me sitting down and standing back up… The app for them sucks as well. not worth it at all. Better off counting your own steps.
Why don’t these fitbit things ever have a clock or stopwatch?
@Jcast617 Because then these particular ones would actually be useful, at least as a watch. Mine tracked me walking miles while driving in my car. And the app sucks.
Are you sure these aren’t REFURBS from previous New Years resolutions.
Snap X2 ! This year is already better !!

Happy new year womehn and gentlemehn

@moondrake That’s awesome! Good boy! Thanks for sharing!
@moondrake “request he be euthanized”! WTF?!?

Too drunk to Fuku, eh Meh?
Fifty-plus negative comments out of 50 posts, and still 657 sold. Brilliant! Oh yes, my friends. It’s going to be a Very Mehry New Year.
My God, what have I done?!?!
@expatriado
@expatriado Wasted fifteen bucks?

I believe I would order these. Meh, I did get a new fitbit for Christmas, guess I don’t need these after all.

Junk! slowed down my iphone, mailed the supplier, they have no plans to update the app.
I gave one to someone as a gift and it quit working. What can I do?
