Customer Reviews
wish I'd gotten this sooner! -- 2010-03-10
This armband has made all the difference for me in staying on track. Once you've used it a while you can get fancy graphs that show what you've been doing and how it relates to your progress. The ONLY drawback is there are times when laying on my side that the armband digs into my arm, but I just twist it around a little, and it still works. It has been amazing to see the quality of sleep I'm getting. It makes me want to work harder to make the numbers (of calories burned, minutes of activity, etc) go up. I'm glad I discovered this. Using this device I can actually envision myself reaching my weight loss and fitness goals!
Bad product and extremely poor customer service -- 2010-03-08
I purchased this product and it worked great for three days. Then the armband stopped working. It would not turn on and it would not sync with the software. It took customer service three weeks to respond to my requests (yes, requests, I had to send them three e-mails before I got a response) for help. None of their "fixes" worked. Now, they are trying to tell me the battery is dead and I have to buy a new battery. The product is less than three months old and I was only able to use it for three days and now the battery is dead??????? Are you kidding me? Great idea, but a completely worthless product with absolutely no customer service. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.
Go Wear Fit Rocks! -- 2010-02-27
I needed motivation to begin losing 30-35 pounds I have gained over the last few years. After reading many reviews I thought the GoWear Fit was possibly what I needed. I started using my armband January 28th. I have now had it for four weeks and have lost 7-8 lbs. This may not seem like much, but I am reading that losing 1 - 1&1/2lbs per week is more likely to be successfully maintained. I have started using our treadmill 3 - 5 times a week and eating better. The Go Wear Fit was what I needed to stop eating excessively. It is so good to actually see how many calories you are actually using. It has helped me be more choosy about what I want to eat.
Great gadget and tool to help you on your way -- 2010-02-26
I got one of these for Christmas and so far have lost 18 lbs. to today. Granted I was already down 45 lbs, so this was a good gadget to keep me motivated.
I've worn it fairly consistently, though there was a week where I didn't wear since I have sensitive skin and tend to get an allergic reaction if I leave it on for too long. They recommend that you take it off at least an hour a day to allow the skin to breathe and recover. Just remember to move it around a few times a day so that it's not always on the same spot.
If you have a mac, it only works on Safari. It took me some hours to figure out through the FAQ to set it to only run in 32bit mode to allow it to be recognized. I hate Safari and wish there would be support for firefox on mac or wireless updates.
Some other things that could be improved:
- Subscription to the website seems high considering what it offers...and you HAVE to use it to keep track, otherwise you'd need to get the display and track everything yourself.
- See avg weightloss over time, i.e. 2 lbs/week/month/whatever, in the reports.
- Be able to actually see nutrition info on the foods entered on the NUTRITION tab and not having to go back and forth to the summary screen to see my macro nutrient intake.
- Get some user forums on your website. Come on, if you want people to support your product we should be able to discuss this at a centralized site.
It's a great tool to keep track of your weightloss, especially your specific burn rate. Don't be fooled though. It's just a tool. If you don't have the drive to focus on your goals, you'll find an excuse. You can easily just do this for free from the many calorie tracking websites out there. But if the dedication is there, this will help you along the way. Hope everyone will be successful out there!
great for three days... -- 2010-02-20
After three days, the sync stopped working accurately. While the watch displayed steps and activity minutes as advertised, the online summary did not. In addition, the calories burned on the summary differed by over 1000 calories with that on the watch. (I believe the watch because it matches the measurements over the last three days.) Having spent my life working with Microsoft and Apple software, it's striking how poor the sync and online software is. There is no customer support over the weekend, so I don't expect an answer for several days.
Anyway, the monitors seem accurate, but the software is the kind of thing college sophomores design on Christmas break.
