S2H Replay: Simple & Affordable Personal Fitness Analytics

s2h

Russell Davies points us to the S2H replay, a personal analytics tool that measures activity using a pedometer. Instead of paying $99 for a Fitbit (a popular fitness tracker), the S2H replay is attainable at $19.95.

It is easily customized through an offering of replacement bands; one of them is an exclusive by NBA player Paul Pierce. These are 100% silicone and water resistant.

The S2H provides incentive through rewards (ringtones, gift cards, downloads, etc.) and leader boards.

Complete an hour of activity and it gives you a code you type into the Switch2Health website - no USB, no wifi, no bluetooth, no whispersync - any browser, any computer, a bit of typing and you're done.

By limiting features (no cables, no software, no need to recharge battery), S2H has made its product stupid simple. Emerging technologies often receive hype, but it is sometimes difficult to design for the masses. S2H has lowered the barrier to entry by keeping personal analytics dead easy to use and  affordable.
