The Latest Fitbit Workout Tracker - Fitbit One

By Adrien Garchia


Fitbit has just released their new range of exercise trackers to their product line. The newest activity tracker is the top of the range model called The Fitbit One. The previous model was named the Ultra. The Fitbit One is now flatter, smaller and more sleek than the superseded model. It is now much easier to use. It can be carried around in your pocket or if prefer, clipped onto clothing. You will be totally unaware that you are wearing the activity tracker. The screen on the Fitbit One has been substantially improved, it is now much brighter than in the past. This makes reading data easier. An excellent new feature is the ability to connect with Bluetooth 4.0. The device automatically syncs data to your phone. This is a superb addition.

The new Fitbit One comes with a built in altimeter which records changes in elevation. This will provide a more accurate assessment on the level of your activity and calories used, particularly if you exercise over hilly routes or use stairs. The Fitbit One also has the capability to monitor your sleep. It`s sleek design allows you to wear it on your wrist at night. It will monitor the hours you sleep and the quality of your sleep. Incorporated is a silent, vibrating alarm you can set to wake you up. This will get you up and going without waking your partner.

The entry level tracking device is a new model known as the Fitbit Zip. It has all the essential features of the Fitbit One except it does not have the sleep tracking function with the vibrating alarm. It also does not have an altimeter to record elevation. The absence of these features will be important for many people. If this is the case, go for the better specced, top of the range Fitbit One. Even though the Fitbit Zip is the entry level exercise tracker, it has a premium feel and comes in a range of 5 bright colours which look fantastic and will be a talking point.

Both of the new Fitbit devices are extremely easy to wear because they are small and lightweight. You can clip them onto your belt or waistband or wear them in a pocket. Whilst you exercise they can even clip onto your bra or sporting top. They can remain visible or hidden if you prefer. You will completely forget that you are wearing the device.
