I've been wearing as many as five different pedometers at a time to produce reviews. The latest crop includes those that use Bluetooth to sync to a cell phone app. I love that, as I've had trouble with my pure cell phone apps going nutsy when the GPS signal is weak. They say I've done 1-minute miles and I doubt I deserve to make the record books. I also forget to log off the app before I take off for home in my car, which really brings down my minutes-per-mile. The Bluetooth-enabled pedometers are more reliable.
- Review: Striiv Play: This pedometer and app is pure, addictive fun, and your friends can play along with you with the free app.
- Review: BodyMedia FIT LINK: This is a serious activity monitor and diet tracker with a colorful app.

Thanks for your insightful reviews.
I am so looking forward to seeing what you make of Misfit’s debut, coming out real soon.
Watch out for an all metal activity tracker, totally wireless (no buttons, no cables, no Bluetooth pairing, no charging docks).
It is tiny and elegant. You may even want it for your necklace pendant.
Once again, thanks and we’ll be back shortly with more news.
