Sleep efficiency: 95% (Sleep Better app).
Steps yesterday: 1,116 (SmartHealth watch); 1,996 (Withings Pulse).
BPM: 103.
Blood oxygen level:98%.
A glitch in the Withings Pulse sleep tracking mode: my understanding was that the Pulse stopped tracking sleep when you removed it from the armband. I had to turn mine off manually because it was still in sleep mode after walking around. I can see the convenience of a fitness tracker that you wear on your wrist 24-7.
A third of the people using fitness trackers stop in six months to a year. Anything that makes the experience less easy contributes to that. The ideal is a seamless experience that blends into the background.
The problem with fitness trackers: you can read all the reviews you want, but there is no substitute for hands on experience. I assume that explains why so many Amazon reviewers have owned so many different brands - that and the high loss rate.
Got my Black Friday on and bought an HP Stream 7 tablet. Xbox Music is giving 100 albums by big name artists away and selling $35 boxed sets for $2. Plus you get a year's subscription to Microsoft Office and a terabyte of storage so the Stream pays for itself.
Relaxation: 25 minute nap.
