This is a great activity/tracker. Its fun to also track your sleep however, the button can easily be bumped without knowing it. I was out doing heavy activity for about an hour and the button was accidently bumped so it had me sleeping instead of tracking my activity. There was no way to delete it. It hasn't happened since, just something to be aware of. I use an ipad & the app isn't very friendly at letting you make changes/updates when needed.. . Otherwise, I love it. It keeps me motivated & to keep me active. also.. Love the alarms that can be set throughout the day to remind you to get up & get moving!

It does the job it's supposed to. It counts steps and measures active time and sleep. It is rather bulky for a fitness tracker. Also the one button on it is obnoxiously large. The main problem is that it constantly broadcasts a Bluetooth signal and it messes with my Bluetooth connection in my car. Even when Bluetooth is off on my phone, it randomly switches my call from handset to Bluetooth, broadcast through my car's speaker system. This is the most annoying thing ever. I wish I would have spent a bit more and gotten the Google tracker.

Battery life is poor (average of 3 days)
Thick profile, so it hangs up on things.
The waterproof feature is nice, but since it does not record swimming, seems pointless.

I really love my Orbitz. It came with two bands and a clip. It calculates many things for me. It keeps me motivated and moving! I would recommend this to anyone looking for something to keep them moving.

Great for a first timer, intro to activity trackers. A little disappointed with the battery life. Love the interaction with all of the runtastic apps. Can't beat it for $60.00. Good job.

This product is okay if you can wear it all day everyday. My job did not allow that so it wasn't as useful for me. However, the device itself is pretty good.

The only thing I don't like is how the charger connects to the unit. Other than that very happy with it.

This is great for the runner, jogger and Checks on your sleeping habits. Works great but not for me. I needed something more like the Samsung Gear S.

This product works but just barely, I'm giving it away most of the features you can not use on your phone unless you pay an extra monthly fee and don't get me started on resetting the time waste of money

The Orbit fit my every need. MUCH BETTER than my previous "Up" band, and the battery life was much better EXCEPT it died in less than a month. I "purchased" it on 4/5/15 which means I didn't get it until 4/10/15, and by 5/4/15 it was dead ;( I was most saddened and disappointed, ESP since I AM WILLING TO GIVE IT ANOTHER GO, but BEST BUY does not carry the product in their stores ;(
YES I AM GOING TO GET ANOTHER ONE-that's how much I like it. Every product is allowed one boof right?

I tried this fitness tracker for a week and was extremely dissatisfied. Thank goodness Best Buy allowed me to return it and I got a Fitbit and am extremely happy. It didn't track steps correctly (mowed my 1/2 acre lawn and scored less than 100 steps) and did ballroom dance for 2 hours for no steps!! Terrible product.

I love this device! I had been searching for a wearable fitness tracker and weighing the options between the FitBit, Jawbone, Nike device, etc and finally decided on the Runtastic Orbit. I like this device because it has a screen, allowing me to use it as a watch but also to see my steps, calories burned, and active minute throughout the day.
It's really easy to sync with your smartphone to access all the other cool features. Using your phone, you can wear the device overnight and track your sleep efficiency or set alarms to buzz your wrist throughout the day for physical reminders or to wake you up in the morning. You can even set the device to buzz your wrist if you've been inactive for 60 minutes straight (and set this to be active between certain hours during the day#.
In terms of physical appearance, the Runtastic Orbit comes with options of bracelet bands in many colors #and your initial order comes with two colors). You also have the option of clipping the device to a belt of purse, using the clip provided to you in your initial order. I have very small wrists and I find that I like the look of the bracelet with all outfits, whether fitness attire, casual or business casual. I'm really glad I purchased this device and look forward to using this to improve my understanding of daily fitness routines and work toward reaching fitness goals!

I am an older gentleman who is looking for something to help motivate me get healthier and more fit. I have to say that the Runtastic Orbit has done that for me. The device motivates me to beat my goals every day, set higher goals to beat, take the stairs over the elevator, and to generally be healthier throughout my day.
I love the fact that the device is waterproof as I never take it off. I also love that I never have to bring out my phone to see my up-to-date statistics.
Overall, I would highly recommend this product.
