Fitbit Ultra

 

Oh, hey, Fitbit. Nice to see you again. Although we thought the original fitness tracker did too little for a $100 gadget, enough people apparently begged to differ, as the the outfit just trotted out a second-gen model, dubbed the Fitbit Ultra. Like...

Simple design ; Easy to use ; Clean, intuitive website

New features are mostly gimmicks ; Expensive for what it is ; Only really counts steps

Fitbit is as easy to use as ever, but the features added to the second generation are too gimmicky to help justify that $100 price tag.

Fitbit Ultra review: Fitbit Ultra

 

Fitbit Ultra

Small, light, and easy to carry, the ; effortlessly tracks your basic daily activity level. It has a host of online analytical tools, it tracks sleep quality, and it boasts both Android and iOS mobile apps.

The Fitbit Ultra needs to be within 15 feet to sync with its USB-connected base station. The Trainer feature and a deeper activity data analysis cost extra. It's not waterproof.

The Ultra extends Fitbit's already impressive personal fitness data measurement abilities, but for the same $99.95 price. Already a high-tech pedometer, the Ultra now has an altimeter to record stairs climbed, too. It isn't as advanced as more...

Fitbit Ultra

 

Fitbit Ultra is a sleek, sturdy, and affordable device that can help you monitor your general physical activity level. It's supremely well suited for casual users, but not serious athletes.

Affordable and sleek. Smart pedometer uses accelerometer for walking/running and altimeter for stair-climbing. Can monitor sleep. Includes excellent Web account.

No GPS.

Fitbit Ultra review

 

If you enjoy the muted ennui that accompanies a sedentary lifestyle then you'd best keep your distance from the latest Fitbit. Like its predecessor, the Fitbit Ultra is a wearable, wireless...

Data minutiae can be enthralling ; Turns your fitness regimen into a game ; Accurately track stairs climbed

Easy to lose — no way to remotely locate ; Gimmicky "motivation" feature ; Fitbit.com navigation can be confusing

An allure that stems from simultaneously playing the voyeur and exhibitionist roles of my own life

Fitbit Ultra

 

A new year? A new you? Can this wireless tracker help you get off the couch?

Neat, practical design ; 7-day battery life ; Excellent online interface ; Limited range of features ; Expensive

No GPS

The set-up process is fairly routine. Enter all your relevant personal data (including height and weight of course) and you’re off and running. One thing to note, however, is that there is no instructions with the unit regarding downloading the...

Fitbit Ultra review

 

Hook this fitness gadget onto your jeans pocket and the Ultra promises to get you moving. Can it work on the most sloth-like of gadgeteers?

Fitbit Ultra

 

It's no spinning class instructor, screaming at you to go faster, but this smart pedometer will gently encourage you to go further and work out more. It's a step counter that can keep track of the steps you've walked up too, and even how you sleep, and...
