My wife loves the one I gave her for Christmas.


The folks here are all Fit Bit people. They seem to like them too.

A friend has a wrist band Fit Bit. It works by arm swing. When golfing, I don't swing my arms while
walking...they're pushing the golf cart. This winter I put on 14 lbs because the golf courses were
closed so much and the dogs don't do well in the snow and ice. Any extra incentive will help.

Here's a good review of the Strive:

Note this sentence, " It’s making me walk more and skip the elevator, so I think it’s a winner. I’d
pick the Striiv over the Fitbit any day."
