Wireless fitness tracker
The Fitbit One is a 24-hour fitness tracker. During the
day, it tracks your steps, distance
traveled, calories burned and stairs
climbed. At night, it measures your
sleep cycle, helps you learn how to
sleep better and wakes you in the
morning. Collected statistics can
sync automatically with a computer
or select smartphones. The program
creates graphs and other images to
help users visualize their exercise
and health, and the data can be
exported to select fitness apps.
