Moderately Confused by Jeff Stahler for February 03, 2023

My Fitbit…oh wait, I don’t have a Fitbit.

Those two are a good fit.

No Fitbit, Apple Watch, et. al. for me. I have enough nags in my life.

Of course it’s also bored to tears with little to do.

Oy! Live by an electronic device, die by an electronic device!

I’ve had various FitBits for about 12 years now. I got one and had to replace it with a “refurbished” one. I had to replace that one when it fell off my wrist and got lost even after I replaced the original band because it kept on opening and the device kept falling off.

So I got another model and had to return it, too. This band, at least stays on my wrist.

Fitbit also makes the world’s worst chargers. Each model has its own unique kind of charger and they have clips and springs that are prone to breaking and weird connectors. They are tremendously overengineered for the task they perform. Why should a charger have moving parts?

To be fair, it’s easy to exchange a FitBit and their technical support is excellent; you can actually talk with real people who speak understandable English. Customer care is better than most companies, but the design of the product and quality control, needs help.

When some bits fit and other bits don’t, I go to pieces. Does that mean I have a Bit Fit?

She needs a Sitbit.

My watch counts my steps and tells me how many I should be walking each day. I ignore it.

Make your fitbit have a heart attack: Got to the paint store and have them put on the paint stirrer for half an hour.

I have one that tells me when it’s time to sit down and have a snack. It’s called NotABitFit.

You don’t need to worry about recharging it. Just wear it as a statement piece. Fitbit Fibbing? Fitbit Fakery?

I wore a fitbit for 4 or 5 years until it died but felt like I became a slave to it’d daily demands to reach a step and calorie goal. Feel so much more free without it though I still walk and exercise regularly.

But now it’s starting question it’s purpose in life.

That’s an unfit bit…

My Fitbit the dust a long time ago.
