Up Bracelet What next!?

Ok, this is almost too much, it is a bracelet that keeps track of your health. It will record how much exercise you get and let you know if you met your goal for the day. It tracks your sleep pattern and charts it for you, etc etc!! One of the barristers at the coffee shop had one yesterday and it was just freaky. Of course I WANT one!! This is the day my iPhone comes and I am waiting impatiently!!!

That's neat, I saw it on the news the other day. I wonder how it determines the difference between when you're siting still and sleeping. Not bad for $100. either, go for it BJ! :D

I use the Bodymedia armband. Got it thru Jenny Craig for a fraction of the price. The sleeping thing is registered thru your body's heartrate. A couple times, while I was watching TV, it registered me as asleep. But, then, perhaps I did doze off and didn't realize it???!! :lol:

Lenora, the one you linked to starts at almost $200 - so you must have gotten a deal through your membership. I was ready to buy if it had been a fraction of the $100 of the other - which I couldn't use as it requires an I-Phone.

Both are neat, though.

If I hadn't gotten the great deal thru JC I would have passed on it. And even at that, I wore it 23 hrs a day for 3 mons. and then it got annoying as by that time I pretty much knew what my daily readings would be. I do like the website for keeping track of my food intake/calories/weight loss etc.

Neat gadget, BJ. Let us know if you get one (no iPhone here or in near future).
