by The shocking truth about tech journalists is that we often spend ridiculous amounts of time sitting in front of our computers. Sure, the bosses love it, but often that’s not so great for our health. In an effort to clean up my act fitness-wise, I decided to employ some tech to reverse my slide into desk-potatodom.
Fitbit One is a pedometer about the size of a peanut (in the shell). It attaches to your belt or in your pocket with a silicone clip, where it constantly counts the number of steps you take, as well as altimeter readings that track when you climb stairs or hills. There’s a tiny LED display, which cycles through various data displays at the press of the One’s singular button. Although there’s an included USB dongle for wireless syncing to a Mac, iOS device users can also sync wirelessly via Bluetooth, which offers the advantage of not taking a USB port.
