However, Strava beats Fitbit hands down when it comes to cycling with its segments, comparisons with other riders (known and unknown) and personal records/milestones. We wear our his 'n her Fitbit Surges 24/7, constantly tracking our stuff (but cannot be bothered with the food and water bits). We really like the Fitbit platform, for the comparisons with friends, watching the resting heart-rate fall from over 60 to now averaging 53 (was only 55 when I was a regular jogger and in the UK military). The wife and I are both retired (recently) so walk and cycle a lot - pretty active for people in their sixties we think. In my humble opinion, the lethargic responses from Fitbit to the host of suggestions posted on the forums demonstrate that Fitbit is already making itself a backwater, evolutionary dead-end - becoming a relic in the fitness accessory field. Fitbit should be over this like a rash and implemented it ages ago. You shouldn't be debating this sort of suggestion or even needing your customers to point out this glaring shortfall in the Fitbit website's facilities.



make it easy to get everybody involved rather than trying to ring-fence your product by restricting its reach. If you want to be in the centre of things, you have to have paths everywhere leading to your door.

FR is dead and buried now, distant memory of the bright, cutting edge thing it was.įitbit is going the same way - I just noticed that in the previous para, I used the past tense "started off" - very telling! Does Fitbit plan to become the "Friends Re-united" of the fitness world?įitbit started off as the leader in the field, just as FR did in the social connection and communications field but by adopting a tortoise, staid approach to development allowed others to make the running. I honestly don't understand why Fitbit are dragging their feet on this one.
