Product Reviews of GoWear fit Lifestyle and Calorie Management System
Product Review: Beware international shoppers!
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased the GoWear Fit during a trip to the US, but I normally live abroad. The problem is that the on-line system for tracking calories and fitness goals ONLY ALLOWS for US and Canada billing addresses and credit cards. This seems really unnecessary and simple to solve, since the product can be used by anyone in the world, but when contacted customer care, they did NOT OFFER ANY ALTERNATIVE SOLUTION. All they said was that it could not be used by people who live outside of the US and Canada. WOW.Product Review: Biomedical Engineering for Consumers!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the greatest products to date for weight management. Many weight management systems require counting calories as a way of losing weight, but without information about how many calories I was burning, I was only working with half of the equation. I have lost 11 pounds in two months and it was easy. One of the things that I learned from my GoWearFit was that I wasn't burning as many calories during my work day as I thought. With that information, I have found that if I do 15 minutes on my rebounder before work and then a 10 minute walk at lunch, I'm able to reach my calories-burned goal on those days. The system is not really a diet, I'm able to eat what I want, I just watch portions and adjust my activity level to keep myself in a 500 calorie deficit every day. The system does require that I stay focused and log my calories consumed, and while GoWearFit now provides calorie consumption software, it is not as robust as Sparkpeople.com. I have found that the best way to track my calories is to log them on Sparkpeople and then transfer them over to the GoWearFit site. This takes a little more time, but it works best for me. I have about seven more pounds to go to reach my ideal weight, and then I'll continue to use GoWearFit to maintain it. For the first time in many years, I feel in control of my weight thanks to GoWearFit!Product Review: Body Bugg & GoWear Fit
Summary: 2 Stars
When I read about this item, I was so excited... but here are the facts. There are so many programs out there like Diet Power that are a lot less expensive and show your progress better. FIRST you have to subscribe to the GoWear Fit website (3 months free) THEN they will charge you monthly. Your body bugg is pretty much useless without it. It gets VERY annoying having to wear it all the time and does cause some irritation when you work up a sweat if you have sensitive skin. You do not want to wear this to bed, it is very uncomfortable to wear all the time. Think hard before sinking a lot of money into something that is NOT worth it!Product Review: Body Bugg Review
Summary: 4 Stars
The battery life is great. It also doesn't take a long time to recognize you after you've placed it on your arm. It doesn't bother you at all while you wear it throughout the day. I forget it's on sometimes. It's lightweight and really nice. It also charges fast when you need to do so.Product Review: BodyBug has good uses
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased the body bug to get information I could not get from a heart rate monitor. It tallies your daily energy burn and sleep time quite well. Those are very useful and positive. The down side is the subscription you need to upload the information is lacking in the nutrition area. Very limited and/or unclear when logging the meals. For instance, a hamburger is listed several ways, hamburger with vegetables (guessing tomato, lettuce, etc) or hamburger with cheese (what no toppings if you have cheese), or just hamburger, but does it mean it includes the bun, when the bun can also be added separately. The point of this rant is that unless I have a package with the nutritional data to enter myself, I am at a loss as to know my true calorie intake, which effects how I manage my diet and excercise balance. So it is a good product, but is companion needs a lot of work.
