Hi everyone, my name is Kylie and I am an ex-fitbit owner. I decided to share my thoughts and opinions about why I chose to return my Fitbit after 6 days. First off I will share with you why I decided to purchase a Fitbit in the first place.
For my boyfriend's birthday I had bought him a Fitbit Alta. As it turned out he really liked his. He was always telling me how many steps he had gotten in a day and about how he slept. I decided that I needed to get myself one so we could challenge each other.
The first few days with the Fitbit went fine. I was going to the gym every morning because Mason was at his dads. Whenever Mason is gone I go to the gym in the morning before I go to work. Since I was going to the gym I was getting a lot of steps during the day. Now that Mason is back it is not going so well for me.
1. My boyfriend Chad works at a clinic as an x-ray tech so he is always on his feet walking around. I work at a bank so I sit at a desk. Can you guess who gets more steps in a day??? I even tried walking laps around the bank throughout the day to keep up with him. It did not work. I don't like losing on a daily basis.
2. I don't appreciate wearing something on my wrist that is constantly telling me how lazy I am that day. I don't need to pay $100 for that when I already do that myself. It honestly just makes me more depressed.
3. I know when I have had a lazy day or an active day. I do not need a bracelet to tell me that. If I make it to the gym that day it is a good day and if I don't then it is a bad day. I also know when I have had a good night or a bad night of sleep by if I am tired or feel refreshed the next day.
4. I don't think they are very fashionable. This is one of the biggest reasons why I have never wanted a Fitbit. I think it looks good with workout clothes but I don't think it looks good when you are dressed up. I work at a bank so I am always having to dress up for work so I would prefer to wear pretty jewelry instead of a Fitbit.
I think Fitbits are great if they actually motivate you to be more active. Mine clearly did not. I know a lot of people that love theirs and my boyfriend is still loving his.
