Well apparently I am way more active when in Vegas! I destroyed the rankings over the weekend. I guess it was all that walking and dancing and lack of sleep.
Does anybody use the exercise tracker on the app? I just switched from the iPhone 5 to a Samsung S6 and while the iPhone app seemed reasonably close the android app is ridiculously high. My walk to work went from 1.8 miles to 4.1 miles (5.0 miles for the return trip which was a bit longer but only a couple of blocks). The android numbers look like they should be km but the app is set for miles. Are these problems normal for the android app?

haha not quite the problem I'm having. More like I just want to catch up on all that sleep I missed and detox from the drinking. I have been drinking copious amounts of water and coffee since and am still feeling a bit sluggish. lolSome people never recover you find them on the streets pushing shopping carts and wearing every piece of clothing they own eating out of garbage cans and soup kitchens, standing on freeway off ramps with signs that say hungry and homeless and Vegas or Bust!
Nope both phones were in my purse. I have a One that is attached to my bra so the actual tracker is the same and hasn't moved either. The number of steps is still accurate it's just the distance and therefore the activity level that is messed up.I'm an iphone girl so not sure but that does sound really off. Did you alter where/how you hold the android phone versus when you had the iphone?
So, the whole idea of the tracker is to turn your exercise into data? The data being compared to what? Your goals and other people's exercise data to help motivate and see if you are on track? Basically turning it into a game of some sort?
It actually sounds kind of cool.
I have found it to be very accurate (when I march in place to up my numbers I have counted just to see). But, you do need to make sure you are wearing it on your non-dominant wrist. So since I am right handed I wear it on my left wrist.So I have a question. How accurate are the step counts? I literally just got the Fitbit Charge HR yesterday, and I feel like it's overestimated my steps by quite a lol. Right now I'm at like 13,000 steps and like 5.5 miles, and I still have at least four more active hours of the day left (haven't even walked my dogs yet). Granted, I am on my equine rotation right now, so I have to walk our horse patients around and around and around, but I don't know about 5 miles worth. Is there a way to calibrate it to my stride or something? I am not tech savvy, lol.
Mine seems to under count. It doesn't count dancing as any steps at all which I think dancing ought to count. lolI've also found with mine it will count some steps when I am riding the train or driving over a bumpy road, it will also go into sleep mode when I clap or am pushing a shopping cart through the parking lot. For the most part it's fairly accurate, but I do take those little things into account and just use it as a guideline since nothing is perfect.
I will second this offer! I have a wedding to prep for so I think I need some extra motivation! Jakesmum - will be messaging you momentarily!Please feel free to heckle me into action... I need it!If any of you are using your fitbit and want me to add you as a friend just send me your e-mail address and I will add you. I have a few friends and like to use that to challenge myself to keep up with my exercise routine.
