Have you ever clicked on an Instagram or Facebook ad?
Scrolling mindlessly through friends' photos until you are interrupted by a targeted Instagram post or Facebook ad that begs to be seen. Have you ever bought the item?
I have! A few times. And, I've even had success with my purchases.
Around New Years, I was looking to get a new fitness tracker. I passed my Fitbit
off to my husband last year. He was participating in a challenge at work and when the challenge was over, he kept it.I started going back to the gym last October. By December, I was missing the ease of keeping track of steps and distance using an app. But, Fitbits are expensive. I wanted to see if a less expensive tracker would fit my needs.
And, then I saw an ad for LETSCOM Fitness Tracker. I clicked!
I don't need the heart monitor feature, but the time feature already put the cheaper one at the top of the list for me.
I put up a poll on Amazon Spark. The results of the poll leaned heavily towards LETSCOMS. There were two comments that made me think. Fitbit has a community and Apple Watch is quality.
First off Apple watch was not an option. If I was a long distance runner with a dire need to have detailed stats or an Apple fan, I would have just purchased it. I was clearly looking for a basic tracker.
As for the Fitbit community, I don't care. Yes, it was fun to compete with friends and do the challenges but it was not a motivator for me. At least not enough to drop $50 on something I could get for less.
LETSCOM Fitness Tracker
. I went to the company's website to get more information about the tracker. I found that it was $15 if I bought it through the website! So, I did. And, it shipped by Amazon. Today, there is a coupon code on Amazon for 50% off and Prime shipping. And, the website directs you to buy it through Amazon now. |

What I like about the LETSCOM Fitness Tracker
Battery life and charging - the charge lasts for a week and USB charging. No extra chargers to buy or lose. No cables!
Watch - it tells time! Just like Fitbit, I can set alarms, too.
Find my phone - with a touch, I can make my phone ring when I can't find the damn thing.
Waterproof
Call and message notifier - the number of characters is limited but at a glance, I can see if I want to answer a text, message reply, or talk to someone.
What I don't like about the LETSCOM Fitness Tracker
The app - I do miss Fitbit's pretty interface. It's not terrible, but it could be better.Does not sync to MyFitnessPal but does to GoogleFit.
I can't figure out how to turn off the activity feature.
Final thoughts... It's great!
Overall, I don't miss Fitbit.This tracker does more than my $50 Fitbit for way less. I highly recommend getting a LETSCOM fitness tracker
