Well done. Your ability to deliver your message is excellent. I am a former world-class athlete. Currently trying to get back to it. At 54 (almost 55) I’ve been through three different cancer battles, including 161 chemotherapy treatments, as well as paralysis. I suffer from long-term nerve and lymphatic damage that has left me with certain physical disabilities/limitations. And while I am more “able” than others my age, based upon my athletic background, I find myself often in ruts that I am not able to get out of. Currently trying to lose 10 lbs. And for some reason, it’s not coming off. That’s where looking for vids like yours came into play; I totally spaced on the whole apple cider vinegar/lemon water drink. I did it years ago, and it worked. So to see your vid on it, was a necessary reminder. Then to be linked from that video to this, was also very helpful. I look at life this way; we can all learn from one another. Even those of us who were “elite” athletes can and often do, need reminding… especially as we get older, of the basic things we can do to just function better on a day to day basis. All of that said, I am grateful to have stumbled upon your videos and even more grateful that you took the time to make them. Here’s an unlisted link of me slowly getting back to it. Peace https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6r2jl-xZ0U
for fitbit calorie burn on display divide by 3, When the reading say 60 cal it is actually 20
I had great results with Eat Stop Eat. Thanks to the ease-of-use it truly is different from every other eating plan I’ve had a go at before.This is far more than a diet or meal plan, it transformed my viewpoint on foods forever.I found it remarkably easy to follow along as it was handy that I am able to run it on my laptop or computer, smartphone or even the tablet. The ebook standard can make it really easy as well as fast to reference anything. Continue reading right here: https://goo.gl/rPBAaJ
My Aria Air doesn’t even do it’s only smart feature. This thing is TRASH.
Hey good video ��! I have one question too you yesterday I ordert the versa 2. And Im Interested what do you think does the versa 2 offer Googel assistant in future? Cause at the moment it only offers Alexa and I heard that Googel buyed Fitbit. Btw I’m and little new YouTuber like you but I produce other content. Maybe you have some Tipps for me��.
the the formula is calories burned = work(in kJ) * 0,239 / 0,215 (efficiency of human energy conversion)
efficiency of humans is complicated but in this case it seems to be 0,215
so the calories burned come on top if you base metabolic rate, something that I’m not so sure about when is comes to the fitbit.
Congrats. Now imagine if you worked out with a personal trainer where you’ll be in 6-12 months. Your wife will get jealous every time you go out because of all the attention you’ll get from other ladies. Then you have another problem to deal with other than your weight. ��
I think I won’t focus on it much since long after youre done working out your body will still keep a higher fat burner bpm. So it evens out.
Go to Apple health app, then choose Health Data, then choose Body Measurements, then Weight. And there is your graph for weight entries! You said there was no graph for weight in apple health, but you were wrong.
And btw, MyFitnessSync is a good app to sync your fitbit data over to apple health.
Ps
I agree, health app is not as user friendly as Fitbit. But i don’t understand why fitbit doesn’t allow people to log their blood pressure. Health app does allow a much broader range of data.
FitBit Versa 2 does NOT have built-in GPS. You can only get GPS with your phone on it.
Charge 4… I hate having jewelry, watches, rings, etc on me. The Charge 4 looks sharp, aftermarket accessory support, decent battery life. The Garmin Vivosport is an awesome tracker (always on display is awesome but no Gorilla glass causing it to scratch easily) too, but you can’t change the bands and they break over time… so sticking to the Charge 4… better supported and like band options.
This video was awesome! Short sweet and to the point! I also like the fact you talked about the apps. I have the Fitbit Charge 2 as well and I love the app interface. I don’t have an Apple Watch, so I wasn’t sure of the layout of the fitness app. Thanks for being so thorough.
Do you burn calories based on heart rate alone? I noticed that my step count is extremely sensitive and sometimes it goes up by simply scratching my head. If I ignore the steps and just focus on heart rate BPM, would that determine my calories burned?
new to fitbit not sure what I believe says I burned 3,900 calories, I did 16,000 steps but no real exercise today, I am 200lbs about 50lbs over weight, good video
Awesome! I finally splurged on an honest to goodness FitBit, after having gone through enough cheapo pedometers to have paid for the FitBit a long while back. It is more encouraging just wearing it! And it’s replaced my watches so no more stinkin little watch batteries to buy!!! That’s a win in itself.
I’ve been doing the same thing since January myself been eating 1800 calories a day and walking 4 miles or 10k steps I have lost 51 pounds so far, and all the little changes makes the difference
I’ve just watched a couple of your vids my New Years resolution is to do 100+ pushups a day and completely quit junk food and you vids have helped motivate me to do just that
Congratulations ❤️ I’m not a day one but since I hit that subscribe I feel like a #Dayonefan lol I have to get me a Fitbit watch
Like your channel, workouts, challenges and general format and filming. Unique channel! Hope to start one of your programs!
So if you love the app from fitbit but also love to Text Back and everything else you should get the fitbit versa 2 I loveeee it
Your simple approach is very helpful. You make it sound exactly what it is.( Achievable if one can only find the motivation and willpower). My downfall is I’m gluten free since serious illness which left me with gut issues (I cannot process certain foods) which makes life especially difficult. I was gifted my Fitbit 3 xmas ’19. (I also hate cooking now). Anyway… you’ve helped my motivation. Thanks from Gaynor Souyh Wales UK
The walking doing 3 to 4 miles brisk walk for 1 hour each day and drinking water brought me from 228 to 205 in three months!
I was just thinking the other day wonder what the simple man has been up too. Question answered great job!
I use a garmin fenix 5 but I I just assume it’s off a little and use it as a rough guideline and restrict my calorie intake
to be as sure as i can i usually just subtract around 600 calories from what my fitbit says i burned, if i subtract to much thats fine cause if you are cutting weight that will just help you lose weight faster
Very good and informative. You answered the problem that I was having with the BMI. Like you said, it is displayed on the screen, definitely false advertising. Thanks for your video.
I normally have a fast heart rate between 80 and 100 bpm. So it shows I’m in fat burning zone and I don’t know how accurate that is. But also steps kinda seem to go faster. But my heart rate is accurate. Any advice
Good choice of subject to review. As I was wondering do I get one if these trackers fit bit charge or a watch versa2 but I’ve always had Polar fitness watches with a separate heart rate monitor.
So which of the current smart watches or trackers have GPS plus accurate heart rate plus other trendy functions like steps ( bit I’ve always found these trackers over estimate steps compared to pedometers I used to have an Omron pedometer)
So which is better Polar? Apple or Fit Bit? Seems Fit Bit is more commercial got a community thing n better interfaces..but I really don’t know?!
What’s your view on these 3?
Or 4 if we include Garmin.
You could try witch hazel for your skin.. I heard that’s good.. or maybe an astringent? And I need to get a Fitbit now!
They are great for starting out and getting general numbers and if it keeps working thats great keep doing it until you will eventually hit a wall where you will be stagnant in fat loss and then you need to figure it out yourself
Hey thanks so much Ur plan is very simple & its what im going to follow Looking 4ward2 ur next video Oh & itd b very helpful if u add what u eat 4 breakfast & dinner Thanks & Happy trails ��
Mine is Burning 11,000 calories daily I think it have some issues
Simple steps. I like your angle. Keep it simple. Keep them coming, you’re very inspiriing.
do a natural liver cleanse its easy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Zs7ucjx1M8
Recently bought a fit bit (well actually a cheaper version) and you’re right, you definitely need the information before you can really make changes. I try to get 10K steps daily. I used to just use my phone as a pedometer, but then I was always carrying around my phone, which is a pain because I like to disconnect when I go for a walk.The fit bit makes it much easier. I’m going to take you advice re: water intake and soda (a bit of a vice for me too).
Ive got 100 lbs to lose and Im doing some research… Kinda sick of being the fat kid. Thanks for the vid. FitBit Blaze is looking more like a good investment. My birthday is in JUNE… id like to be half way there.
I can tell from just looking at how you wear ypur fitbit that it needs to be A LOT tighter! Mine never doesn’t get the heart rate and i make sure to tighten it before i workout. It needs full contact with your skin!
I got one for my birthday last month, and yes it’s a great help ��
I hate it when corporations block features that are clearly avaliable from the hardware.
I have the Apple Watch series 3 and I exercise with it and in thinking about getting the fit it versa 2
I think fitbit overestimates the kcal that I burn. On average I burn between the 22.000 kcal and 20.000 kcal a week according to fitbit, so which is around 3142 and 2857 kcal a day. (On some days i go to the gym and do a cardio workout and on other days i just walk around or go for a stroll, but on a weekly basis it is quite stable). Maybe around Christmas i’m able to eat that many kcal, but I’m watching my food intake i think im usually around 2000 some days around 1500 and some days around 2200. If the fitbit is accurate then I should have lost so many kg already. 657 kcal a day at least (2857 low kcal burn day high kcal intake day2200 ) = 657 I would have lost around 6 kg in three months at least, which did’nt happen. I’m kind of dissappointed about the kcal burn feature on these wearables, but i do like the heart rate information and stuff. I think as company if you ‘re estimates aren’t accurate or way off then you should be more open and clear about it or even not showing at all, untill the algorithm is good enough. I think 10% less or more kcal burn estimation is already a lot.
I just read a bunch of articles talking about official studies that have been done on fitness wearables. They’ve all been proven inaccurate by as much as 30% off.
After a couple of years resisting the Fitbit, my other half encouraged me to have one. All along, we have considered them to be “Just a bit of fun”, as even Hospital-standard external monitors are also only as good as the skin contact! For instance, I tend to wear my Fitbit strap loose, not liking it to “clamp” my arm consequently it says half the data is missing from the night readings! Proper calorie counting of food intake is a nightmare at least you need to weigh EVERY scrap of food and drink, AND have a certified scale of calorific values to work from. Best of luck with that, but for us, we are enjoying being aware that we NEED TO MOVE MORE!
Just found your channel. Very motivating. I have a two week deadline for an event. Let’s see what I can do..:D
I have the Fitbit Ionic. One thing i have noticed is that if you select the Weight lifting activity. The heart rate will jump during an intense set. It stays up there and does not come back down. I know when my heart rate is 138 and what that feels like. This is why you get such a high rate of calories burned during your work out. If i pause the Fit bit the heart rate will come back down where it should be. Then hit play again and it will continue. I also agree with the others comment. You where it way to loose dude. The watch needs to be in firm contact with the skin. Especially during strenuous activity. You should redo your test and where the watch tight.
Mine says I burned 3,389 I don’t know how accurate it is just want ure opinion on it
Was the power meter on the pedal or the wheel? If on the wheel than it is not that accurate.
I don’t even have one yet (watching reviews to buy) and I can already tell you’re wearing it too loose. No shit it’s not gonna track your heart if it’s flopping around. It even specified on the website and on other videos to wear it higher and tighter than when you’re not working out. Also you didn’t specify if the power meter is attatched to you or if it’s an attachment on the bike in which case it’ll measure the same for anyone no matter bmr. Basically I wasted my time watching this one but maybe your other videos are more in depth.
What I find interesting is that I see a problem here. The auto detect function will not give a distance during a bike ride. Fitbit is getting its bike data somewhere else.
Thanks. I recieved a fitbit 3 for xmas 2019 and have watched numerous videos on how to operate it. This has been the first video to have really help motivate me. Diolch. Thanks
Thank you so much for this review! I am considering switching to the Apple Watch 3 from the Fitbit Versa. (I’ve had the series 1) I agree with you about the Fitbit app being more user friendly than Apple Health. The battery life on the Fitbit is also better. But I need something that is more accurate as far as a pedometer and workout tracker. My Fitbit is VERY generous with my step counts—like shaking my wrist counts steps ��. I noticed when I was driving today that my Fitbit counted about 200 extra steps. The Apple Watch is much more conservative (and more accurate with tracking workouts, as you mentioned.) Clearly I have a big decision to make here lol thanks again for the review.
I’m confused. So if you need your phone for GPS to work on the versa 2, will it not track your run mileage and calories?
Please tell me which one has the most accurate sensors, sleep, heart rate…
I actually meant to watch this for your opinion on the Fitbit but then you hit me with the CALS IN CALS OUT and it reminded me of my two nutrition courses I took but couldn’t take this semester again and I’m like lol thank you for this helpful reminder for when I start class again next year!!!
FINALLY! I’ve been so confused by the calories section on my fitbit. This was simple and to the point.
I use Curology for my skin. I have been using it for 3 months and I have noticed such a difference. You have a designated dermatologist and it’s specific to your needs. It has helped me so much with my hormonal acne.
My versa is not accurate at all. On a lifting day I workout for 1hr 15min. It will say I burned anywhere from 500-600 calories. According to a Harvard study an hr of weight lifting for someone 185 is 266 calories and I’m only 176.
Lmaooo your friend made you take your watch off ������ girl that watch was clashing and best friend wasn’t having it! ��
So basically you just have to add 500 to the calories u ate and burn that much calories?
Stumbled across your videos and watched a few. Enjoy your honesty and humor, and your measurement-oriented approach of assessing your efforts and progress. Keep up the good work and do know that it’s a lot harder at age 60 plus than your youthful present so enjoy your youth, I’m privately cheering for you.
Thats awesome might have to get a fitbit.. Thanks for sharing and always being so positive.
The fitbit is measuring continuously based on heart rate while your power meter is only measuring when you are actually pedaling. The power meter is measuring how much energy goes into your stroke, but that doesn’t measure the work your elevated heart rate is doing. So, for example, you crest the top of the hill and decide to coast down rather than power down it. Your heart rate won’t drop back to resting on the descent, so you’ll be burning more calories during the descent then if you were on your couch at rest, but your power meter won’t pick up any of this. Similarly, if you hop off to take a photo of the scenery, the fitbit is continuing to register the additional work your heart is doing which does burn more calories even if you aren’t converting those calories directly to wattage on the bike. Its not surpising to me, then, that the fitbit registered higher on the long ride because the power meter can only measure calories actually put into the bike, but not these other systems. It is surpising to me that it measured lower on the short ride, but this could simply be gaps in the data or the fitbit filling in the details.
I had the Fitbit flex. My fiancé got it and ended up not liking it so he gave it to me. I had that for probably 3 years. Then I got the Fitbit HR. Then I got the Fitbit HR 2. I didn’t have both of those for very long. In November 2016 I got the Apple Watch Series 2 in rose gold. Then in October 2018 for my birthday I upgraded and got the Apple Watch Series 4 in space grey with black sports band. I wanted a new Apple Watch to match my new iPhone X, and I wanted Apple Watch with Cellular Service on it. I personally like Apple Watch better. But I miss the automatic sleep tracker and the challenges that the Fitbit has to offer that Apple Watch does not. You can download 3rd party apps onto the Apple Watch for sleep and challenge. I don’t like the challenges apps the sleep ones are okay.
I will stick to using my phone…even though it too isn’t accurate. Not spending $150 on something that is that inaccurate. Would you spend that amount o on anything else if it was 10% incorrect? Noooooooo!!!!!!
So according to my fit bit I burn on average 4500-5000 calories in 1 normal working day. Yeah super accurate
I like how you presented both watches and got straight to the point (precisely and quick), this was very useful and found out that Versa is more fit for me. Thank you!:-)
Anyone else notice his Fitbit data is cals (calories) and the other data is kj (kilojoules) think that’s what’s causing the discrepancies….
My main reason for purchasing the charge 3 was steps, heart rate, and sleep habits, and walking reminders
I don’t know if this helps BUT you can sync your MyFitnessPal data (food, etc) to the Fitbit dashboard
I mean if you’re losing weight and it shows. I think it’s best to experiment with the fitbit how many calories on it gets you at a steady weight loss. It may be a little inaccurate but you just have to find that specific number of calories that work for you.
I’m twenty and Im gonna start carrying water bottles around so that I can eat less and not be thirsty for soda. Soda is so shitty yet I drink it anyway.
Something I feel needs addressing here, the power meter on the bike will say the same amount of calories, regardless who rides it.
If we both road you bike at the same speed for the same distance, the power meter will claim we burnt the same. But if my heart rate is 20-30bmp higher than your I’d be burning much more than you.
The fitbit actually tracks your heart rate and using the info you’ve given it (providing you’ve given it accurate weight, height and fat percentage) it can pretty accurately guess your calories burn.
Not a generic reading like the power break.
Just food for thought.
Omg. You’re so articulate and helpful. I look forward to your videos.
Great video, I’m going to the gym now! I’m 37yo. Bp 130/80. 6’3” 235. 37” waist. Gonna get those numbers down!
Tbh the fitbit numbers seemed more realistic than the power meter ACTUALLYYY
Conclusion,if you eat healthy and it motivates you to exercise, who cares how much calories you are burning as long as you feel good.
The bike is only measuring energy output to the bike. Other calories are used to perform normal body processes like breathing, pumping blood, and digesting food.
Let’s say his basal metabolic rate is 1800 calories a day. That’s 1800 calories burned throughout the day regardless of added activity. If he bikes for 8.5 hours, that’s 8.5/24 * 1800 = 637 calories burned. Add that to the calories used toward the bike. 637 + 4431 = 5068 calories burned during his bike ride.
New subbie here❤️����♀️…. I’m happy I found your channel and thank you for this video… I’m debating on an Apple Watch or Fitbit?
Update, I just hit the four week mark and my weight is now 184.6! I am not sure how much I want to drop under 185, but I’d like to see if I can get my abs to show so I may still try to drop a few more.
This was such a helpful video but i am still struggling with the decision, help?
But the power meter doesn’t measure any other movement from your body. When you are biking you aren’t just moving your legs, you are moving other parts especially for stabilization. Maybe that’s what causes the discrepancy on the long ride.
Hi loves! I am back and better than ever! I am soooo ready for this channel and I think I need this the most out of everyone! Let me know in the comments what YOU want to see! I want to touch on and address topics not a lot of people want to talk about. Let’s keep it raw and REAL!
Love you!

This is about Calories burnt, like calories spend or energy spend
How to find calories intake, like when having food
I’ve been tracking my progress for a little over a year now using the Fitbit Charge 2. I find that it overestimates my TDEE by about 10%. I am a 5’10” 190 lb male.
Great video, I love your honesty. Keep it up!
I started the 30 day push-up challenge yesterday after watching your vid as I had already changed my eating habits to Paleo and done 18/6 intermittent fasting. The pushups have already made me “feel” better vs. normal stretching and lifting.
Have you tried seltzer water with ACV, flavored seltzer or the seltzer’s from Kroger like Cola, Dr. Pepper, etc? No calories or preservatives. Taste good and not bad for you!
Girl I only take my Fitbit off to shower �� So I totally understand ����
my fitbit blaze is saying i burned 2,589 calories and all i did today was my laundry and took 3,213 steps i keep in mind that im 300+ pounds…but does this sound right?
My Withings scale told me Happy Bday, then that I was overweight lol. Guess I should go eat some cake.
Personally I find my charge 3 to be very reliable when it comes to calorie counting, and here’s why.
I’m 6’2, 225 lbs, 38 yo male BMR 2050 cal.
On a day of doing absolutely nothing (was ill) I tallied up 1300 steps and my charge 3 calculated 2399 cal burned that day. A very reasonable result if you ask me since BMR is based on sleeping all day, awake and sitting upright you burn slightly more cal.
On a typical day including my workout, I will tally about 15000 steps which includes a 30-40 min run which burns approx 600 cal. My charge 3 will usually calculate 3200-3400 cal burned for those days.
I have been eating roughly 1000 cals per day under what my charge 3 calculates and have steadily lost at an average of 1.5 lbs per week.
My weekly caloric deficit being 7000 cal, should equate to 2 lbs weight loss as 1 lbs = 3500 cal.
So I’m losing half a pound less than I should which = 1750 cal ÷ 7 days = 250 cal per day more than i’m actually burning. My average cal burn is around 3300 per day according to charge 3, 3300 ÷ 250 = 13.2%.
So there we have it. My charge 3 is over calculating by 13.2%. This will obviously vary from person to person and it’s also assuming that I’m counting cal intake with 100% efficiency.
Anyway, hope this helps.
Where’d you get a series 3 for $279? I’m tryna get one but the last I checked the price was like $399 or $329
Man this is just awesome.
I’d like to see your meal plan. At least your breajfast and dinner since those ones look like the tricky ones:)
Good job with explaining your method I am about to try it!
Its cuz you arent placing your fitbit on right place it should be 2-3 fingers away from carpals bone
I bought one recently and its says I burned 2800 calories. I did 1 hour of running, 40 minutes of biking and 10 minute jump rope, to me it seems off that i burned that much, does it seem accurate? I’m 20 5’6 143 lbs.
This is the best video I’ve watched so far that talks about the accuracy of the fitbit watch. Do you think fitbit versa is the same as charge 2? I’ve read that to be almost 94% accurate, in the fitbit don’t turn on the workouts in the watch, but when you do, there’ll be 25-30% difference in accuracy:/
THANKS for the video! I have watched so many of them about ACV, but yours for some reason stuck, and I felt encouraged. So I got mine out of my cabinet and made a drink. I put it in some tea and warmed it up. I didn’t have any lemon juice today, but will get some if that is used for more than just taste. Is the lemon juice for flavor or part of what makes this work? Do you have to refrigerate the ACV after you open it? I looked on the bottle, but couldn’t see if you do or not? You drink this at lunch and evening? I am starting tomorrow on wanting to reach 12000 steps a day. Thanks again for the video!
the watch doesn’t move around if you put it a little tighter. the number of reviews i have watched where people complain about the fitbit counting steps they didn’t do but then have the watch 2 notches too lose smh, anyway good review
In regards to your opening statement…The average female in 2018 weights more than the average male did in the 50s and 60s. Show me a person who has at least 100 pounds to lose and I’ll show you a person who isnt emotionally balanced. They are using food to deal with stress factors from daily life. I’ve been on both sides of the scale and I know when I was 150lbs over weight, the smiles in the photos were all fake. The review for the watches was very informative though:)
Just tighten the band, my own seems pretty accurate and I have never had the issue of it not tracking my heart rate while exercising. Nice vid btw.
In reality you have to remember that the Fitbit is on your wrist, not your foot. So an even more accurate thing would be to wear a Fitbit on your ankle or waist perhaps? That would be a good experiment to try.
Great review. Thank you.
As you said, I play it conservative too. So far the Fitbit has turned my health goals into an RPG, and as a gamer I am getting addicted to the “leveling up” ��
I have a Fitbit and a Apple Watch series 3 and i prefer the Apple Watch.
Do you know if this is compatible with iphones? especially the text message notification part?
hello!! Ivan great review by the way can you suggest what fit band to buy then!! band that is more accurate to your fit bit.
FitBit seems to over estimate by 35% in both calories and distance when walking. Compared to online calorie burn calculator, and mapped out walks with Google Earth. For a quick estimate multiply your FitBit result by 0.7.
I had a first gen Apple Watch and never used it for its purpose thus leading me to not use it. Based on your review I think I will get the charge. I always have my phone on me so the gps doesn’t matter
Great video, can’t wait to see what awesome products you’ll review next. I’m very impressed with the improvements in the videos over time!
Unrelated, but your hoodie is goals ��. I want to recommend that you look into mini habits for weight loss.. as someone who has gained and lost multiple times it’s really hard to get back into things in a realistic way and this idea gave me good guidelines:)
But that power meter does not calculate energy needed for heart & lungs, right? It can only calculate power needed for pedal movement, but not for other energy that body consumes. So power meter is not 100% accurate, neither is Fitbit, of course. But making comparisons between these two are pretty marginal.
So in conclusion. You can trust it to the thousandth place. Any lower and the error rate/difference rate goes up. Thank you.
Coach,
I am looking for a answer in the “Metabolic Field”.
Usualy when I brisk walk, or ride a bike, my average hear rate be around 90BPM, always.
But, if I take Cafeine + Ephedrine or Cafeinne + Yohimbine the BPM increase for about: 100BPM.
Also, if I use cannabis, the Heart Rate during moving increase 10 up to 20%.
My resting BPM is about 45/50.
I am 37 years, good aerobic conditioning, light weight 1,78 with 65kg.
The increase in Heart Rate, also increase Calorie Expenditure?
I track by Polar H10 and FitBit.
Thanks
it doesnt matter how accurate they are,,,they do give very close day to day numbers right or wrong which is all you need,,if your daily calories average 2000 calories a day on fitbit,,then increase your activity to get those numbers up to 2500 to 3000 and now you know you are burning more calories and the weight will fall off,,it really is that easy,,2000 calories was your base,,, right or wrong,, fitbit or any cheap calorie counter will work in this way,,
From that the standard deviation it’s +/20% from 2 reps. In the grand scheme of things this makes me feel better than I know what the inherent variation is. Thanks for the video, I’m going to use your findings to inform how I would use my fitbit:)
Girl I’ve been ready for this channel to start back up again…a year ago. ♥️
Do you have whatsapp i want to contact you if you really don’t mind +1 510 756 0288
you found a good niche for getting views man! keep up the great work: ) loving the quality
Wow thanks for the great video! I have a fitbit and been using it for a month now, but didnt know if you could belive the amount of calories burned
I got my first ever Fitbit charge 1 back in 2015 but after a year of wearing it everyday the band started peeling (this was before you could switch out the bands) and now 5 years later I’m still debating between getting a fit bit and Apple Watch but I think I’ll be going with the Apple Watch series 3 since its $200 while the 5 is $400 since the trackers are more accurate then fitbit
It’s been proven that the Fitbit devices worn on the wrist are not accurate as they output a hand movement for a step. The best ones are the fitbits that go in the waistband of your pants. I use the Fitbit One and don’t plan on ever upgrading unless I lose it. Most accurate.
Hi grigoriy gressel…..I have a few questions..
1.can we even transfer songs on Fitbit versa 2 through Bluetooth from the phone instead of using Spotify???? This is because we need to pay for the Spotify to get it offline…….
2.can only receive notifications if WiFi is present in that area???
3.do we need our phone always with us while using the Fitbit versa 2 while performing any outdoor activities?..
4. If we need to track the distance we travelled through the Fitbit versa 2 while running outdoors do we our phone also??
Awaiting for your response
Thank you
This is so crazyyyyy I was considering this same Fitbit! This came right on time! For skin maybe you could try Aloe vera masks.
Awesome bro! I’m totally trying the Apple cider vinegar plan. And better eating as well. Thank you for the motivation!!
Does anyone know how to alter the calories on Fitbit. I’m 6″2 and 87kgs. When I go on a 10k run I burn a little over 1000 calories according to the treadmill. Fitbit says more like 4000 calories. I’ve entered my weight correctly but it still thinks I’m about 50 stones…
one teaspoon of epsom salt before bed helps to move the crap out
Very interesting! Thanks for the video. I’d love it if it can be more accurate. But the point for me is that It tracks all day, and can be used for a variety of exercises. I’m sure over time the newer versions may become much more accurate and inline with what people expect.
You still taking the Apple Cider Vinegar?? I am now starting to make ACV and Tumeric drink twice a day.
Where did you buy the red squares on your wall? I love the design!!
I don’t know what y’all are doing with your fit bits but mine seems to be quite accurate. On average I burn about 2400 kcals a day a s a 24 year old 5’6” average weight female who is working out quite a lot and has an active lifestyle. If i am not active i burn maybe 1500-1700, on extremely active days I may burn almost 3000 but that seems about right to me
Great video but did anyone mention how your technically supposed to wear the Fitbit different when doing an exercise vs. everyday wear. Also an average out of three rides of similar types would have been nice.:)
I believe my Fitbit Versa underestimates my calories burned. I think I burn more calories than it says I do.
I don’t think anything can be super accurate. But it’s nice to have a decent ball park figure on things.
Today I walked on treadmill for 35 minutes, my Fitbit only picked up 10 minutes!!
Sooo.. it a lie?? It really doesn’t send electrodes through your body to detest muscle and fat mass? �� �� �� �� �� ��
Why does your profile pic look like you just ate a shifty asshole
I agree the Fitbit app is wayyyyy more friendly! My Apple Watch stays charge for two full day however. If anyone has a good app for sleep tracking let me know because I’m having a hard time finding one
Thanks for this very helpful comparison! I can now make my choice. ������
Great job… I am going to do a video like this…. very motivational… well done and thank you
Good job, very interesting. I’m on a weight loss journey. Doing weight watchers for men. Stated 240 lbs in November now at 200 lbs. Goal 185. Thanks for taking the time to inform us. Will be watching for the follow-ups

Loved the video and how you presented it…to the point… btw… loved the floors…
I think the only reason why the calorie differences happened is because the recognizability timing of when the Fitbit actually recognizes when you started cycling could have been different. I own one, and compared my results as well, and they were both in the same ballpark when I started my cycling. Hope this helps!
I have Spotify premium. Would I still need my phone to access Spotify on the charge 4?
the instructions say when working out you need to tighten the fit bit. i would like to see what the reading is when you have the fitbit tightened as directed by the manufacturer.
Hi mate, I’m stuck between the 2 myself, I’ve got a charge 2 at present. I’m heading towards a charge 4 I think, What I want to know really is about the notifications…… On the charge 2 I can get incoming calls and choose 1 of either FB messenger or whatsapp or sms texts… Does this improve with the charge 4? Can I get all my phone notifications or do you still have to pick 1? And as a counter point, if the charge 4 does not then I take it the versa 2 does?
Thanks
I’ve literally done nothing for a few hours and it said I’ve almost lost 900 calories (2,115 steps,.31 mi, and a few minutes ago it had said 888 now it says 882??)
Your video just encourage me right now to improve my health, weighing 225.2lbs and bodyfat of 35%. So thank you for the motivation.
I bought a really lovely band off Wish because it looked like such a cuter accessory for better less causual clothes. It was $10 including ship.
I love my Fitbit too! I have the Versa. Congrats on hitting 50k not surprised your vlogs are awesome! ��������
I would wake up. In the morning between 7-9 AM I would burn 700-900 in my sleep. I’m getting 6 1/2 hours of sleep. If I do 8 I do feel like crap. I’m 205LB 5’11. I’ve been counting my calories and keeping up on my workouts. You would be amazed on what jump rope can do to your body. Cause I am. I’ve lost 26LB.I would do 20 min jump rope with my weight vest. Then I would do my V shred. Almost burning 3000. I woke up at nine AM I was at 756 Calories. 10:20 AM 1012 burned now ��♂️��♂️��♂️��♂️��♂️��♂️��♂️��♂️��♂️��♂️��♂️��♂️��♂️. I haven’t done my work out yet.
Hi i’m from Indonesia
Thank you for making this video,.. I’ve already start exercising about 1months & drink ACV about one weeks.
Why do you wear the Fitbit so lose fitting? I’m surprised you get any heart rate reading at all. I’m using a Garmin Forerunner 735XT for running and it doesn’t move around the slightest. Instructions say for accurate reading it has to be snugg.
Got one today only. I kinda like it as its a simple scale and i already use fitbit versa.
