Gruve Personal Activity Monitor, White/Gray

Gruve Personal Activity Monitor, White/Gray Review



As I promised (in a comment to another reviewer) I am back to review this product. I ordered it April 22 and received it today (29th). I am already impressed with this device over the long fruitless wait I did for the fitbit. I ordered that late January, but they kept pushing back delivery. I gave up when it got pushed to July.

So far, so good. Installation was a snap. I downloaded the software easily, plugged in the gruve and was synced and connected to my registration page right away. I guess it will take up to 12 hours to charge, but meanwhile I read through much of the online literature explaining the concept and the program. Seems much more in depth than the fitbit (which I also have a profile for, but no device).

I have seen complaints from people who lost their gruve. I believe you can purchase loss insurance from the the company. But I tried attaching it to a belt loop and fail to see how you could lose it, unless it just falls apart??

After you set up a profile (can be done quickly by answering a few questions and picking a password), and charge the thing, then it does a one week assessment of your activities before it starts nagging you. Seems simple and straightforward.

MAY 3, 2010 UPDATE: Still early in the review process, but will add a couple comments now that I have worn my Gruve for a few days. I am not sure whether the vibration is activated during the one week initiation process or not. I thought I felt it a couple of times, but if so, it was very light and short. Perhaps those were just 'phantom' vibrations, like cellphone memory. I hope so, because otherwise it is not much of a reminder to be active.
The clip is awkward to attach to cloth material, like a waistband. Very hard to remove as the gray part hooks into the cloth. That is good for security, but since the instructions or FAQs warn about careful removal to avoid breakage, it is a concern. If fits pretty well on my leather belt, but since other reviewers have complained about losing their Gruves, I decided to spring for the loss insurance. The company apparently has little faith in their own design; they offer a free repair if the clip breaks. Of course that doesn't apply if you lose it after it breaks. They claim to be redesigning the clip.

The sync online works ALMOST flawlessly. Yesterday morning I logged in, updated my profile and tried to resync. I was immediately locked out and sync would not work. I rebooted the program, then the computer, then did a program repair. Nothing worked. Late yesterday afternoon it logged and synced again without a problem. Perhaps the site was temporarily down. I don't know. My profile chart works well, however, and seems to accurately correspond to my known activities.

I am anxious to get my first week finished so the color coding system with be active to tell how I am doing instantly. Right now it stays green while it gathers the first week of baseline data.

My only other complaint is LACK OF FORUM. Unlike the fit, there is no forum for users to share information. I am following a twitter thread, but it is mostly repeating ads to sell more Gruves. This review area is the closest thing to a forum I have found so far.

"the gruve program is great. it is a great accountability partner and it is definitely holding me to a standard that i would not have set for myself lately." "using the gruve has been an eye opening experience, i was amazed how accurate it was. i found that wearing gruve has helped to significantly lowered my blood pressure and lowered my cholesterol. gruve gave me the extra push that i needed to i changed my life."

Oregon Scientific PE829A - Personal radio

Oregon Scientific PE829A - Personal radio Review



I recently purchased this item and just want to say that it is great! I was worried that for the price, I wasn't going to get an accurate count or that the radio would be lousy, but I am happy to say I was wrong! The radio is strong (though it cuts out, which i think is because it has an internal antenna) and easy to use, and the count (so far) is accurate within 2 steps. I highly recommend this product!

ActiTrainer Personal Activity Monitor, Pink

ActiTrainer Personal Activity Monitor, Pink Review



The Actitrainer is awesome! I bought the Actitrainer about two weeks ago after my wife saw their ad on a womens fitness website. I was a little skeptical since I had never heard of this company before but it was pretty inexpensive compared to other similar products so I decided to give it a try. I have been trying to lose the 30 pounds I gained during my wife's pregnancy two years ago so I started jogging a few months back and thought this would be a great way to keep track of my workouts. I wear it during my morning runs and the software program tells me how far I go, how many calories I burn, my heart rate and a lot more. Then my wife found out that the free software trial allowed multiple users, so she started wearing it around the house during the day to see how many calories she burned and entering the food she eats into the mealtracker. We started fighting over who gets to wear it but she just ordered the pink one today so problem solved! Highly recommended!

ActiTrainer Personal Activity Monitor, Black

ActiTrainer Personal Activity Monitor, Black Review



I've had this for about a month. I waited until after the holiday season to start using it. I'm on day 5 and already I can see benefits. It monitors everything: steps/mileage, heartrate, calories burned, workouts, food consumed, even your sleep cycles. My favorite feature is it tells me if I'm in a calorie deficit or not. I've had many pedometers and a couple heart rate monitors, but this is far more than that. It takes a little effort (ie entering foods consumed), but if you're committed you can achieved results. I had no problems with the software (just clicked throught the microsoft warnings, like instructed). The warnings are "it has not passed Microsoft test to verify it is Windows XP compatible." I have XP. There is a fee with using the virtual trainer, about 9 bucks a month. My health is worth every penny of the 9 dollars and change. My hubby's first reaction, when I told him how much I spent, was not favorable. Now that he's seen it is so much more than a pedometer, he has to have one too. We are looking forward to using them with our new diet and exercise plan and getting into shape for the boating season :)
