Things I noticed with Fitbit Air
I'm not going to justify about my purchase but here are the points i haved noticed in my last 4 days with Fitbit Air
Good things:
It tracked my Swimming lap/Distance really well. For a device with no inbuilt GPS and mobile phone inside locker, it did well
It tracks your sleep with clear REM, Deep Sleep, Light Sleep and time to sleep really good when at home. I will talk about the issues i faced with sleep tracker later
No screen - No distraction. I barely feel it's on my skin. When someone asks about it, i kind of forget that I'm wearing one 😂 (first few days probably)
Alarm is surprisingly good. Fitbit Air gives a vibration on your wrist and will not go off until we firmly double tap. Last four days fitbit was able to wake me up. I'm somebody who would subconsciously turn off mobile alarm and this vibration is great way to start day without loud sound to your ears
Bad:
Sleep tracker when I was on train or overnight sleeper bus. It didn't detect sleep at all!! (Probably it's assuming GPS of mobile and it's on move and didn't take as sleep session, will try once by turning off the GPS)
I went for a 6k run. And in my slides you can see the track of my run. The GPS is all over. It didn't take my pace , running track anything clearly at all. Expect my BPM.
My mobile was in battery saver mode and I assume that got something to do with GPS. Will try and update here if it's tracking fine when mobile is in normal mode.
- I ran on treadmill for 3km and it showed almost double about 6km. And the reason it said was some calculation with respect to how many times im moving my hand while walking normally compares it with my hands moving while running . Ig it should not be picked up like that.
