I noticed about a year ago that my phone was recording my steps automatically!
So I started using the samsung health app occasionally.
The only thing it can't record is my swimming times of course, although I could enter them manually if I wanted to.
Today I measured my resting heartbeat which seemed good and my stress levels which again, seemed good.
The only thing I wondered was.. alongside the stress level there's an "oxygen saturation" level which recorded 95%!
Shouldn't it be a 100%???
I have a fitbit but I havent used it for ages, I forgot about it actually but I used to use it a lot.
I use an app called MyFitnessPal, it's an excellent app for keeping track of what I eat, nutrition, calories and it also tracks exercise and works out how many calories you burn etc, probably not spot on but the diet part works brilliantly for me.

Yes, I used the fitbit more when I was on a very strict health and fitness regime to lose weight. I've lost a load of weight and not bothered about losing too much more so I've eased off.
I exercise regularly like swimming but I am not as strict with my diet as I was as I am now on maintenance. I do however eat a very nutritious and well balanced diet with the occasional treat
I keep an eye though with myfitnesspal and I'm managing to maintain xx
I do have one that I bought, but not used it this year, you clip it on to your trousers or skirt to count your steps and I used to do 1,000 steps no problem, I don't know whether I can now though.
I have a Fitbit charge 2 which I wear 24/7. Wearing it does encourage me to walk more and try to get more sleep.
I think that as long as one realises that they are not completely accurate they are a good thing
I bought a cheap version of the 'fitbit' - it was on a silicon strap. I have a cat with a silicon fetish, who also loves techy things. Haven't seen the fitbit for about 6 months now!
