So who is getting the Apple watch to help with their fitness goals?

Unknown

I currently have a fitbit but I don't think it's accurate so I stopped using it. I also cannot work out without my polar hrm and watch. I feel naked without it!

Unknown

I'm waiting for 2.0

not getting that, but I really miss my Vivofit....I wore it from December to just about a week ago when it fell off (I think it fell off and was flushed down the toilet, LOL). With mother's day coming I asked for a Fitbit Charge HR. I can't wait for it to come in!!!!

Wow! Down the toilet? I'm all for getting whatever gadget that will help you get and stay motivated.

Apple watch has issues if you have wrist/arm tattoos.

I'm tattoo free!

I think it's a marketeer's dream

I love my toys (fitbit flex/zip and polar ft4 HRM) BUT toys have limits and a wristband 24 hour HRM? Yeah ....I'm not buying into that

I love gadgets, especially Apple ones, but waiting for 2.0 and more information/reports is the thing to do.

I'm enjoying mine. I like the fact it just sits passively being a watch, but recording all this useful data for me to analyse later. Takes a bit of getting used to, especially when you are having a lazy morning and it keeps poking you to stand up every hour. I'm letting it have it's way for now to see how annoying it is. Already it's beginning to sink into the background of my psyche and my general activity level is creeping up to stop it nagging me, so I guess it is working.

The HRM seems to be as accurate as my polar strap and at least the battery doesn't die and need replacing, I just need to charge it every night, and I found wetting up and strapping on the chest strap on the polar became too much like hard work when at the gym, so I stopped bothering.

If you get a lot of mail/texts it could be intrusive but mine are at a manageable level so it's useful having the on wrist notification. Not sure I'll ever get used to answering phonecalls by shouting into my wrist though, get very strange looks.

Man, I sure wish I could think of a way to sell a gadget to you guys. I hope everyone takes them with a grain of salt. They are total crap. Do your research. Why is this such a big deal. Find your maintenance calories. Then, eat a little less than that to lose. No need to micro-track your calories.

Do you have the apple watch already?

I'm not trying to micro track my calories. I use the polar to see how I'm performing during workouts.
