    1. I agree that it’s a lot, but an Apple watch or Android wearable will cost you about $400 with less features. As Jaime said, the UA solution is holistic, and you’re right, health scales are often more than $100 so I think the UA offering is decent.

  1. Indeed was a great review solely focused on the product performance and features. The Healthbox does seem like a very complete system, and pretty cool as it tries to act on feel and sleep logs…but this is all assuming it’s doing it right.

    In the general realm of trackers, I’m still in the doubter category. Fitness philosophies differ between and within sports disciplines. If one wants to just get in shape, just going off what a device tells you always sounded ridiculous to me. At least forums and books add context. And then if one wants to get into a competitive level, then a coach comes into play.

    I’m not gonna doubt how essential an HR monitor or power meter (for cyclists) can be, but they’re only as good as the background knowledge acquired to use them.

    1. You’re absolutely right. I think that people take these fitness trackers and things as stand alone when they aren’t–they’re made better by the amount of background knowledge you have.
