When I tried the [Silent Alarm] feature, I was skeptical that a tiny shaking piece of plastic strapped to my wrist would wake me up, but sure enough it worked like a charm.

The truth is that there's nothing about the information from the Fitbit One that will make you lose weight. It's no magic bullet to weight loss. What it will do is hold you accountable
