My wife upgraded from a Fitbit Charge 2 to the Versa so I started wearing the Charge 2 just to see how I did.
I set the steps to 7500 a day seeing as how I am fully retired now. I wish I had this thing when I was working.
Anyway, each night I would check my steps and I found that I was bypassing the 7500.
But, my best day since I started about three weeks ago was this past Tuesday. I got 24,227 steps, 12 floors climbed and 11.26 miles! All this while sitting on my butt most of the day!
I had some roots from a pine tree sticking above the ground and my lawn mower blade was hitting them so I decided to remove them. The tree had been cut down 5 or 6 years ago so I figured the roots wouldn't be much problem. WRONG! I spent all day digging around them, most of the time with a small shovel while sitting down. Then, I got my sawzall out and started cutting the roots.
During a break I checked my fitbit and was surprised to see over 10,000 steps. So, I hit another root with the saw, re checked the fitbit and it had jumped almost 300 more steps.
By the end of the day I accumulated the steps, mileage and floors I posted in the beginning of this long winded post.
I have heard that these things are not real accurate but I have found myself walking more to get my step count up. And, I get in a lot of steps detecting!
