Fitbit Personal Wireless Trainer Preview

Yesterday I published the unboxing video for the Fitbit Wireless Personal Trainer and hopefully you have had a chance to watch it.

Today, I recorded the preview video to give you a closer look at the various components that came in the box as well as the Fitbit itself, the statistics it tracks on its little OLED screen and a glimpse at the Fitbit website where you can track the food you eat, specifics about your activities to align with the data captured by the Fitbit and your historic results.

As always the video is available in high definition for those of you who would like to watch in the best possible resolution.

As far as the Fitbit is concerned it is very much “what you see is what you get”. It’s quite tiny at around the size of a AA battery and weighs in at just twelve grams. The tiny display is sufficient for what you need on the go but you do need to calibrate a few variables such as the length of your stride (walking and running) and your height in order to allow the Fitbit website to better estimate your performance (and send those variables back down to your Fitbit).

Anyway, stay tuned for the review!

My name is Boyd and I’m a Service Management Specialist with a knack for operational data gathering, transformation, analysis and reporting.

In 2012, I obtained my Masters of Science in Information Technology through the University of New South Wales @ The Australia Defence Force Academy (UNSW@ADFA).

I was also part of an online community known as the Panasonic Insider Crew in the capacity of “Insider Guru” for Panasonic Australia where I interacted with other tech enthusiasts and find out more about Panasonic's latest gadgets.

I love technology, gadgets, and the Internet and maintain a keen interest in these areas locally, nationally, and globally. I hope by sharing my views on these topics that people will receive an honest point of view from someone with a genuine interest in these topics.

I have also written and edited articles for Neowin - you can check out my articles over @ https://www.neowin.net/news/poster/boyd_chan
