How Does the Fitbit Work? | Wireless Activity Tracker

By using a sophisticated 3-D motion sensor - like what's in a Wii controller or a handheld portable gaming console - your clever little wireless activity tracker knows when you climb up stairs or walk up hills.

A pedometer would pick up the steps, but not the overall intensity or the activity level you performed these exercises at - Fitbit captures and measures it all.

The overall effect on the results with this technology is it is more able to accurately count your daily steps, measure the distance covered and the terrain, count the number of flights of stairs ascended and using activity intensity, more accurately measure how much energy you burned.

It's like having a personal trainer in your pocket - you get the results - without the monthly fee!
