Nintendo Fit Meter - Nintendo Wii U

I'll start by just saying if you're looking for the best pedometer, this isn't for you. If you're looking for the cheapest pedometer, this isn't for you. If you didn't like the original Wii Fit or Wii Fit Plus, this isn't for you. Because the real value of this is that by registering this with Wii Fit U, you unlock the full unlimited version of the software. And I really like Wii Fit U, so it was worth it just to consider that game a $20 purchase, which is a really good price for a new-release game. Wii Fit U is basically an extension of Wii Fit (Plus). It's finally in HD and comes with most of the games and exercises of the previous games. But there are also a bunch of new games, exercises, dances, workouts, and features on top of that. And I paid much more for the previous, less feature-filled games. Now onto the Fit Meter itself. You don't have to enter a code or anything to sync it, you just aim its infrared sensor at the sensor on the Wii U Pad. It transfers your Mii face and info over to it without any setup or interaction required. Super easy. It keeps track of your steps (obviously), calories burned, altitude, temperature, weekly calories burned, METs (intensity). Pretty decent amount of data for a small gadget. And at any time you can sync that data back to your Wii Fit U and it will update your progress and give you credit for your activity outside of the game. There are various tracks in the game you can choose from to make progress towards using your Fit Meter data. So I picked a 10-ish mile one that moves my Mii along slowly each day as I accumulate about 10 miles worth of distance using the Fit Meter. It actually does motivate me to wear the meter more, just to see this progress continue. I'm actually wearing the meter now, even though I'm just sitting down writing a review. For only twenty bucks, it really is a no-brainer. I might get another one for my wife so we can both compete in our daily activity. Go buy one!

tracks steps pretty decently, good purchase for wii fit

This is a tough review because, frankly, the Fit Meter itself is not a great product. It's a big, unwieldy step meter that's really just a reused plastic slab with an LCD screen and a pedometer that originally came with an old Pokemon title. Compared to my Fitbit One (or Fitbit Force, or any other fitness meter out there), it's really quite bad. Then again, it's also much, much cheaper, so it's not really fair to compare it to those. That said, this Fit Meter is actually a lot more than just a weirdly big piece of plastic--it also includes a FULL GAME with it (if you already own a Wii Balance Board)! A ton of people bought Wii Fit on the original Wii and have a Wii Fit Balance Board somewhere in their garage or closet (or maybe you still use it!). Well, if you have one and you buy the Nintendo Fit Meter, you'll be able to "unlock" Wii Fit U on your Wii U and get full access to the whole game! As far as how the meter itself works, it does a reasonably good job tracking steps (though it is consistently much lower than what my Fitbit tells me I've done). When you start up Wii Fit U with the Meter synced up, you just point the Meter at the Wii U game pad and it sends its data to Wii Fit U. The game then adds on your calories burned and exercise from the day to its tracking! Pretty fantastic. As for Wii Fit U (which basically comes with this device), it's great. It includes all the great stuff from Wii Fit but then adds a lot more. The new events and exercises are good. They put a lot of thought into the whole "second screen" aspect so that you can do Wii Fit exercises using the second screen while you have the TV on in the background. So, for example, you can do a 30 minute step exercise on Wii Fit U using only the second screen while you watch an episode of whatever on your TV. Another feature that's pretty cool is the ability to "join a gym", which are maintained over Miiverse. You'll be able to see everyone else in the gym and share messages of encouragement with them as you play. Very good for people who thrive with encouragement and a team effort. The last thing about Wii Fit U I want to mention is that they added a whole new set of exercises called "Dances". They are pretty much what you'd think they are--"dancing" to music with particular styles. It sounds silly, but it can be a lot of fun (I'm a particular fan of the "Locking" dances). So all in all, despite the Fit Meter itself being a fairly cheap pedometer that's an inconvenient shape and size, ultimately the whole package (including Wii Fit U) is a fantastic value. I highly recommend Wii Fit U (and the best way to get it if you already have a Wii Fit Balance Board is to buy a Fit Meter)! So all that for $19.99! And let me emphasize that price--$19.99! Do *NOT* pay more than that here, because I've seen independent sellers hocking it for $30 or more, and that is well above list price!

Bought this solely for the back clip as a replacement for a Pokéwalker that didn’t have one. Cheaper than buying just the back clip on eBay and now also have replacement parts (screen, screws, shell, etc) for my Pokéwalker. I bet WiiFit U is good though.

necesitas una wii u (con el juego ) o que alguien te lo preste solo 1 vez mide hasta la altura 🦆

This pedometer is an excellent device. Even if you don't own a WiiU console this meter will provide you with all the required data. You will get your daily step count, calories used, altitude climbed, and even the temperature. If you do have a WiiU console then you can transfer your data to the Wii Fit U software and see graphs of your activity level. You can also transfer your steps and altitude data to fun challenges that correspond with real life places. This exercise meter uses a CR 2032 battery and it is easily replaced. It is lightweight and has a secure clip on the back so you can adhere it to your pants or pockets. An excellent activity monitor.

Excelente producto, pero debe ser utilizado con la consola Wii U, además de tener el Wii balance board y el juego de Wii Fit U. Cuenta los pasos, temperatura, altura, además de tener control de las calorías gastadas en el transcurso del día.

Buen servicio, entrega rápida y el producto nuevo, original con la calidad esperada.
