So the good news.
I haven't lost my Fitbit One yet, and week 2 saw more activity than week 1; something I can clearly see thanks to my handy weekly roundup email.
Indeed, my daily average was over the 10,000 steps recommended, although we know that as with other government recommendations, it's pretty much a random number.
What more impressive - for me at least - is that I did a 10km run during week 1 so I've clearly been more broadly active in week 2, although I have been travelling during part of the week so that will have a lot to do with it.
The only downside is my average sleep is down 40 minutes; again that's due to travelling.
However, in my even-running comparison between Fitbit One and Jawbone Up, there's been a big development. The Up band has stopped working.
Of course, this is after 6 months of use (compared to 2 weeks), so let's see how the One's operating in April 2014 (if I haven't lost it by then).
This also underlines a key issue with wearables. You have to be able to wear them all the time and they have to be robust and not easy to lose.
