What you can see here is that the Pulse sometimes got more steps, and sometimes fewer than the Omron. The FitBits, for the most part, counted more steps than the Omron, which is why by the end of the time period their count was so much higher than the Omron and the Pulse.<\/p>\n This next chart looks confusing, but bear with me.<\/p>\n This chart looks individual time periods. It’s showing you the steps taken during a specific time period, say, 9:15 to 10:15 and ALSO the difference between the Omron and the other pedometers during that same time frame.<\/p>\n This is showing that the FitBits were counting a significantly different number of steps when I was doing things other than walking. Essentially, I conclude that the FitBits counted steps when I was sitting still or driving (or doing crunches).<\/p>\n What this seems to show is that the FitBits and the Pulse counted steps when I was exercising and driving that the Omron didn’t count, and the FitBits counted steps when I was sitting still and standing that the Omron and Pulse didn’t count.<\/p>\n The difference when I was walking was fascinating. I believe that tomorrow I will have to wear all three pedometers on my belt, so I can see if that changes anything.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And, a quick look at the sleep data.<\/p>\n Sleep Tracking<\/strong><\/p>\n I’m going to update this through the course of the day. I’m wearing the Withings and my beat-up FitBit next to each other, clipped to my belt. The Omron and the old FitBit that don’t hold a charge are inside a cargo pocket. Yes, I AM putting this into Excel, calculating the differences, and I’ll […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[17,1067],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10681","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-computers-technology","category-geek"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pefxA-2Mh","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/klishis.com\/notreally\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10681","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/klishis.com\/notreally\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/klishis.com\/notreally\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/klishis.com\/notreally\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/klishis.com\/notreally\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10681"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/klishis.com\/notreally\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10681\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/klishis.com\/notreally\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10681"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/klishis.com\/notreally\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10681"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/klishis.com\/notreally\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10681"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
