While I'm excited by the idea of 24/7 wearables, my experience over the past year has not been great.
My Jawbone Up wasn't robust enough to last 3 months, while I lost my Fitbit One within a month. My Fitbit Flex has done better than both, but now requires some card to be jammed into its proprietary charging dock to charge.
What is it with wearable makers and proprietary charging docks/cables?
In other 'bad battery' news, I've been trying out the Moves smartphone software, which was recently purchased by Facebook.
It works okay, but is a total battery drain; it's usually the largest singler battery user on my Nexus 5 at around 30 percent, and - of course - I don't carry my phone with me much either, so it's not even tracking most of my movement.
