The Fitbit One is a pedometer that calculates the number of steps, calories burned, distance covered, floors climbed and quality of sleep. A Bluetooth system sends information directly to your smartphones, where users can track activity levels, set goals, see daily food intake and compete with other users. The pack includes the Fitbit tracker, wireless docking station, USB cable, clip, wristband, and installation software and access to the web-based tracking system where data is analyzed and stored.
DESCRIPTION
Last year, we reviewed the Nike Fuelband. Despite its features and cutting-edge design, the count of the number of steps lacked precision. Even if it is not as "sexy", the Fitbit One, replacing the Fitbit Ultra which is no longer sold today offers foolproof precision. The Fitbit One released at the end of 2012 has seen the addition of new functions including synchronization to smartphones directly via Bluetooth 4.0. Initially, only iPhone owners could benefit from this feature.
However, Fitbit recently updated its app for Android, but it only works with a limited number of devices for the device. instant. So instead of relying on your computer to transfer your stats, the Fitbit One lets you instantly send your records of steps taken, calories burned, and stairs / steps climbed (it has a built-in altimeter) to your smartphone. Syncing the Fitbit One to an iPhone 4s is a fairly straightforward process, although on occasion it has proven a bit finicky when it comes to making updates to the Fitbit iOS App. Aside from these rare sync issues, collected data is transmitted in seconds, but needless to say, the more time it takes since your last sync, the longer it will take.
In addition to recording your daily movements, Fitbit's iOS (and Android app) lets you keep tabs on the food you've eaten. This feature is handy for people wanting to lose weight as it compares your calorie intake to your calories burned but requires some time to manually enter the foods you eat with each meal. Just like Nike's Fuelband, you can set goals and once these are achieved, messages of encouragement are displayed on the screen. If you're looking for extra motivation, there's a feature that lets you challenge a friend (who also owns a Fitbit) and compete to see who will walk the furthest distance or take the most steps per week. & Nbsp ; In addition to a USB charging base, the Fitbit One is supplied with a clip (to attach it to the belt, for example) and a bracelet. The belt clip works relatively well and stays attached to the belt, but due to its small size and light weight, it is easy to get lost.The bracelet is designed to be worn while you sleep and much like the BodyMedia FIT LINK , or a myriad other devices, it tracks your sleep quality and tells you how many times you've woken up during the night. During our tests, we found this system to be quite accurate. However, for some people, wearing a wrist bracelet, which is more bulky, while sleeping can be awkward and the vibrator that acts as an alarm clock may be a little too shy to wake heavy sleepers.

BOTTOM LINE
The level of precision of the Fitbit One is, like its predecessor, quite remarkable. We were able to trick the device a few times, but unlike the Nike Fuelband , which for example records measurements while driving, the Fitbit One rarely exceeds the count by only 1 or 2 strides. The sleep tracking function is reliable and fun, all like apps for counting calorie consumption even if their use is at the discretion of everyone The most tedious aspect may be charging via the USB cable, but the good battery life of the device allows a connection only every 10 days or more.
The Fitbit One is therefore an extremely accurate activity tracker sold at a reasonable price that syncs easily with the iPhone and the latest Android smartphones, and like all devices offered by Fitbit so far, it is not necessary to purchase a subscription to be able to or use the data collected, which is not the case with all of its competitors.
