Moving on

Watty1

eek. The first mouse of the season.  I suppose the mice are moving in off the fields now it is cold and damp. My neighbours chickens means the rats will be about soon too.   Ergh.  Shakes self, think positive Watty, you managed last winter without rats taking over, this one will be the same.

My narrower and more elegantvery old  F!tbit does the same thing, the screen has all but faded but it still transmits to the app.  I keep it charged up and ready to use when I have on occaision wear or even an event at work.  I also have a newer version which is chunky for my taste, but still smaller than the big sqaure things I see many sporting.  I've switched out the strap to a metal one & have a leather one bookmarked and also bought a screen protector as I wear mine even when gardening and it's prone to easy scratching.  I do wish they would think of those of us with small wrists who are not particularly sporty and like to wear something a bit more feminine!

The past few FitBits I’ve had start doing the fading screen thing before they stop working altogether so probably best to replace sooner rather than later. I gave up with them eventually and treated myself to an 🍎 watch. 

I think my daughter's is an Apple. I've never had the disappearing screen thing on previous Fitbits, but now I see it's not as unusual as I thought. People don't speak of them as well nowadays, which is why I was looking at going for something that's not a big brand, but when I realised I could postpone the research and shelling out stage for a year or so, I opted for the easy route!

Eek - glad I've not had rats to worry about, though they must be around. I saw the mouse again this morning - not in the trap, which it's ignored, but on the outside of the back door, cheekily looking in!

I use a leather strap too as I dislike the plasticky ones and metal makes me itch. And I agree about size: most are too chunky for me as my wrists are small. The current one (I think slightly larger than the one I've ordered) keeps slipping round as the metal bit is is longer than the width of my wrist.

I must say I don't like my charge 6 as much as I did my previous ones even the charge 5.  Since it had to be done on a pad not a computer it doesn't seem to update the day very well at all.  The joys of being owned by google.  It sems incredible that a few years ago I had a problem with one & just rang fitbit & they sorted it over the phone.  No chance of that now.
