Hello, Colleen. I'm ckg them out, and laptops, at Best Buy later this week if am able. I looking for a FitBit that does what I need but no more and is waterproof! Not too picky, eh? Just don't need a loaded one....anyway, those are the 2 things that I'm getting for me VERY SOON, little gifts to myself. Love it, to have permission to be nice to me. The best...Blessings all, Elizabeth

Now that is a gift that fits as well as one the keeps on gifting. Thanks for sharing @colleenyoung. Appears that both you and your Mom got "quality of life" gifts. Cool.........

Be safe and protected.

@colleenyoung I had a Fitbit Versa before my Apple Watch and for me, the activities that I did were just not tracked well so I returned it (they had a very generous 90 day policy if you bought it on their online site) and got the Apple. I love my watch and it really does goad me on to meet those goals. I went about 190 days of meeting my goals and then couldn't one day before Christmas and since then I have missed two more. I do think exercise trackers help a lot with incentive though. My watch was not tracking my heart rate well (it had it over 200 a few times!) so my son bought me a heart rate tracker that syncs with the apple watch. I have spoken to the Apple people a few times and they called yesterday and said there will be an update that should solve my problem very soon. I have been very impressed with their service.
My first fitness tracker was a Misfit and I loved it but it got sort of wonky as it aged. Their C/S people were great though. Right now I think they are reworking their devices.

Regarding the step count, I can be in the kitchen, working hard, and it will say I haven't moved! I guess your arms have to be swinging for it to be recognized.

@colleenyoung, Good for you for not having the heart to ask for your FitBit back from your motivated mom! Smiles And good for her for giving you a new, improved model for your b.d. Sounds like a great win-win all round!
