Hi All I guess this question is a little outside of Traineroad but lots of like-minded people on this forum so hopefully, some experiences that can be shared. Basically, I am after a system to track activity, sleep and weight and have it all displayed in one place. I used to have a fitbit watch b…

Have you looked at Garmin’s offerings?

Also interested. My biggest, biggest frustration with health tracking ecosystems is the apparent inability to identify when I am or have been cycling and stop tracking steps. Currently I have the Nokia Body+ scale which is now on the Withings ecosystem, and I’m digging the app. Tracking HR and sleep…

You don’t need to use the Health app, I don’t have a suggestion for another app but I believe there are a few good dashboard apps available. Fitbit app’s circles make for a more compact and good looking dashboard but there isn’t a lot of info underneath. For example you can’t see weekly/monthly run…

I would have thought weight would be a good one to pull into the TrainerRoad calendar. Rather than a static measurement. Then you could track it over time. There are various WiFi scales which I’m sure could integrate into TR. Once weight is in then why not steps???

About 6 months ago I jumped from FitBit to Garmin. I have the FitBit scales, which I sync to MFP and then to Garmin. TR also syncs to Garmin so I have all my health data (steps, sleep, activities, weight) in one place on Garmin Connect. I prefer the FitBit interface over Garmin, but like you I kept …

Every Fitbit tracker I’ve owned has some type of failure within 6 months.

Garmin sounds interesting although never liked there bike computers

I’ve had the 520 for years. Been rock solid and does everything I need it to. No complaints.
