#Fitbit Force launched by @fitbit

Hi all

Slightly behind the times here :-(

Anyway Fitbit are launching a great new product called the Force

On first inspection:

- It has a better display showing more contextual info: steps, time etc etc
- Logs stairs climbed (a nice new feature)
- Advanced techie stuff that is meant to be better at recording YOUR info

It does however come at a cost and sacrifices the waterproofness of the device. So if you are a swimmer like me I doubt if you will be upgrading to the Force :-(

Notifications (like we need more of them) will be available very soon.

This plus all the features and functions you would have seen/used with Fitbit

First reaction - meh?

Thanks
