![]() ![]() ![]() The Fitbit is showing that I climed 8 more floors than the Band 2. I know for running the Band 2 uses GPS, but not sure if it uses GPS for steps, suspect not as many steps are in doors.įinally the next count is the floor count. This time the Microsoft Band 2 is showing higher and is very close in this measurement. Next up is the calculation of the total distance in kilometers. I know some get to you test out X distance to ensure your steps are accurate, but neither Fitbit or Microsoft get you to do this. I also noticed then when I had previous bands as they must all measure differently. As you can see, the Fitbit is showing +1,030 more than than the Band 2. Here are the total number of steps for the day. So let’s compare the devices in terms of steps, distance and floors. Now the Band 2 can integrate to Strava but I will do another post on that. Previously I was using Strava on my LG G3 when out running to measure my distance etc. So on Friday I decided to wear both band for the day and go for a run. Both I moved away from as I liked the idea of a display on the Fitbit, plus the social element of challenges. I have previously owned the Sony Smartband and Jawbone Up24. I know someone who ordered a large (coming from a Band 1) and it worked out too big so they are exchanging it for a medium one. When the band turned up, I am actually wearing it nearly on the smallest setting. I went for the Band 2 in a medium size after printing out the size guide, it seemed fit well. ![]() Otherwise they were happy to refund me if this wasn’t ok. Fitbit’s advise was to wear it slightly bigger for normal activity and tighter for workout where you wanted a more acurate reading. ![]() What I also did not like about the Fitbit is the skin irritation that I got if I wore it too close to my skin. I also quite liked the idea of notifications on the band and I did not want a smart watch as I have watches that tell the time from Tag (the Tag Connected is another story). So I decided to upgrade from the Fitbit step counter to the Band 2 due to the fitness features and GPS. ![]()
