This was a fun read. There is nothing so frustrating than doing something for hours, assuming your mechanical/electronic/computerized buddy is doing the thing it was BUILT to do, only to find out it crapped out on the job. And there's nobody to complain to about it to get it all resolved. If there was some kind of backdoor on Fitbit (assuming there is not?) where you could manually enter your estimated steps that Fitbit lost, maybe that would help.
Or maybe that would be an enticement to cheat? :) Rationalizations would abound about how Fitbit certainly MUST have been napping while I ran that marathon!
Thanks @negativer. I think I had better get better at keeping my battery charged or better at not caring when it's not. Also think you're right, back door estimates would lead to fibbing. Thanks so much for reading.
