Nintendo Fit Meter - Nintendo Wii U

Bought this solely for the back clip as a replacement for a Pokéwalker that didn’t have one. Cheaper than buying just the back clip on eBay and now also have replacement parts (screen, screws, shell, etc) for my Pokéwalker. I bet WiiFit U is good though.

necesitas una wii u (con el juego ) o que alguien te lo preste solo 1 vez mide hasta la altura 🦆

Once again, Nintendo hits the ball out of the park. I could not imagine using Wii Fit U without this device. It adds so much to the experience, without it, the program would feel like a mere shell of a game. It is basically an activity meter and not merely a pedometer. You wear it on your waist all day either clipped onto your belt or pants or even your underwear if you don't want anyone to see it. It measures slightly under 2 inches in diameter and is slightly under a 1/4 inch thick, so its a small device. As you go throughout your day, it counts your steps, changes in elevation, intensity of your activity, how many calories you burned, it provides the time of day and temperature as well. It also displays your goal (how many calories you wish to burn in a day). It is integrated into the Wii Fit U software and you can sync it with the game as many times in the day as you like - it knows what calories where already synced that day and will only sync new calories burned if you sync it more than once a day. There are fit meter challenges in the game based on the number of steps you have taken over time ... and you receive a new in game T Shirt for your Mii for each challenge you complete. You can view graphs of your daily activities and see how many cals you burned, if you were walking, running, doing light activity, or at rest, if you went up hill or down hill. Because the game itself measures calories while you play it, you do not wear your Fit Meter while exercising in the game. THE FIT METER IS AN OUTSTANDING MOTIVATOR !!! Knowing I am wearing it and that every step counts, I find myself walking more and even doing things like getting off the train 3 stops ahead of my house just to rack up some extra steps and increase my total calories burned in a day. SIMPLY PUT, THIS IS MUST BUY ... without it, Wii Fit U seems pointless. With it, you are more motivated and it makes Wii Fit U your central hub for keeping track of calories burned what ever it is you are doing ... from taking a jog, walking, cleaning, dancing, being at work, or to playing other exercise games .... just wear your Fit Meter then sync it up with Wii Fit U when ever you feel like it. The meter holds a little under a months worth of data so if you are going away on vacation, the meter has you covered there too, just sync it when you get home.

This pedometer is an excellent device. Even if you don't own a WiiU console this meter will provide you with all the required data. You will get your daily step count, calories used, altitude climbed, and even the temperature. If you do have a WiiU console then you can transfer your data to the Wii Fit U software and see graphs of your activity level. You can also transfer your steps and altitude data to fun challenges that correspond with real life places. This exercise meter uses a CR 2032 battery and it is easily replaced. It is lightweight and has a secure clip on the back so you can adhere it to your pants or pockets. An excellent activity monitor.

This is a tough review because, frankly, the Fit Meter itself is not a great product. It's a big, unwieldy step meter that's really just a reused plastic slab with an LCD screen and a pedometer that originally came with an old Pokemon title. Compared to my Fitbit One (or Fitbit Force, or any other fitness meter out there), it's really quite bad. Then again, it's also much, much cheaper, so it's not really fair to compare it to those. That said, this Fit Meter is actually a lot more than just a weirdly big piece of plastic--it also includes a FULL GAME with it (if you already own a Wii Balance Board)! A ton of people bought Wii Fit on the original Wii and have a Wii Fit Balance Board somewhere in their garage or closet (or maybe you still use it!). Well, if you have one and you buy the Nintendo Fit Meter, you'll be able to "unlock" Wii Fit U on your Wii U and get full access to the whole game! As far as how the meter itself works, it does a reasonably good job tracking steps (though it is consistently much lower than what my Fitbit tells me I've done). When you start up Wii Fit U with the Meter synced up, you just point the Meter at the Wii U game pad and it sends its data to Wii Fit U. The game then adds on your calories burned and exercise from the day to its tracking! Pretty fantastic. As for Wii Fit U (which basically comes with this device), it's great. It includes all the great stuff from Wii Fit but then adds a lot more. The new events and exercises are good. They put a lot of thought into the whole "second screen" aspect so that you can do Wii Fit exercises using the second screen while you have the TV on in the background. So, for example, you can do a 30 minute step exercise on Wii Fit U using only the second screen while you watch an episode of whatever on your TV. Another feature that's pretty cool is the ability to "join a gym", which are maintained over Miiverse. You'll be able to see everyone else in the gym and share messages of encouragement with them as you play. Very good for people who thrive with encouragement and a team effort. The last thing about Wii Fit U I want to mention is that they added a whole new set of exercises called "Dances". They are pretty much what you'd think they are--"dancing" to music with particular styles. It sounds silly, but it can be a lot of fun (I'm a particular fan of the "Locking" dances). So all in all, despite the Fit Meter itself being a fairly cheap pedometer that's an inconvenient shape and size, ultimately the whole package (including Wii Fit U) is a fantastic value. I highly recommend Wii Fit U (and the best way to get it if you already have a Wii Fit Balance Board is to buy a Fit Meter)! So all that for $19.99! And let me emphasize that price--$19.99! Do *NOT* pay more than that here, because I've seen independent sellers hocking it for $30 or more, and that is well above list price!
