My sister is a little on the fence about staying subscribed for the fall. Are you all staying on? She's gonna wait for the spoiler then decide.

The spoiler has been released (black sneakers) and I will stay subscribed.  The sneakers aren't for me but I will be gifting them to my sister.  I'm personally hoping for a light jacket.

Oh you're right. I wonder if my sister saw them...she doesn't like me to tell her spoilers.

Has anyone tried out the running shoes in the summer box? I really like how lightweight they feel on and love the stretchiness of the fabric. I just wish they had more cushiness for the ball of the foot but that is just my personal preference for what I like in running shoes. How do they compare to the ones in the inaugural box?

I can't compare them to the inaugural box but I am diehard Brooks fan and was surprised at how well these feel after a few miles.  Disclaimer - I'm a walker not a runner.

I liked these shoes better than the 1st box as far as how they felt on the feet. I'm not a runner though, I just walk if that.  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20">

I should have added a disclaimer as well- I'm more of  a jogger than a runner /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />.

I traded for the headband and it arrived today. I love it, it's nice and wide. I'll see how it stays on my head during a workout tonight.

They've spoiled the sneakers already.  I'm waiting to see what else will be in the box.  This past one they spoiled a few items and that's what made me join.  Hoping they will spoil enough to make me stay!

I'm obsessed with the first pair.  I do love the summer ones too.  Can't wait to try the Fall ones (who doesnt love a black sneaker?)

Me.

I'm such a freak. I'd rather have light colored sneakers that get dirty faster and look terrible than black sneakers. I've never liked the look of them on me personally. Unless they're converse. 

Probably because I'm convinced people who rock black sneakers/athletic shoes are way cooler than I'll ever hope to be. I guess because they always look more fashionable than for working out.

So my slides were massive -like my feet looked so lost in them lol.  I filled out the replacement form and within an hour received an email saying a new pair 2 sizes smaller were being sent- I am an 8/8.5 they originally sent me a 9 the replacements are in a 7 and fit perfectly so shocked a 7 fit- and they said to keep and pass along the too big sandals for someone else to enjoy.  I received the replacement pair in 2 days.  So excited the new ones fit they are awesome and how incredibly generous of them I loved passing the other pair along they made someones day /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  I also liked that the replacement pair were sent in a shoe box- i like to store my shoes in the original boxes. Super impressed!

Has anyone noticed a huge step inaccuracy with the watch?  I just spent 5 hours walking around a zoo and my tracker reads 953 steps.  It's fully charged.  Any idea how to fix this?  Thanks!

Sort of....mine gave me no credit while pushing a grocery carriage but did give me a few steps while driving.

I had discrepancies until I figured out how to switch from the run mode to a walk mode. I thought I can just use the run mode and walk. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20"> It seemed to work ok when I used it in walk mode and it was synced to the app. I also had my phone in my hand and I checked the info on the app and it looked like it was accurate.

Maybe that's the problem.  How did you switch modes?

Thanks so much.  I really want to love this watch.

I think you can only do it through the app. I didn't have my phone yesterday when I took the dogs for a walk so I just used the watch in the run mode. Not sure if it was accurate though. It seemed to skip steps when I turned it on and started walking. I couldn't figure out how to change it to walk mode without the app.

Thank you!  I'll play around with the app and hope for the best!

Comparing the first two shoes...I prefer the shoes from the first box.  I feel so light and bouncy on my run when I am wearing them!  They did take a bit for my body to get used to them, I had some tendons that were a little sore after the first two wears but once I adjusted it's been great. 

Accuracy of the steps counter (or lack thereof)...YES I feel like my fitbit counts waaaaay more steps than this watch and I know that one is accurate because I have watched it count on my phone while I was walking and counting along numerous times.  I haven't found that walk mode on the fit smart that @@Reija mentioned so maybe that will help, but I have already decided to go back to my fitbit alta for day to day tracking and sleep tracking, and only use the adidas when I am actually working out.  To me they are just for two entirely different purposes, and the steps tracker on the fit smart is an unnecessary bell/whistle.

Anyone having charging problems with their FitSmart watch? NEVER did mine go full charge since I started using it. The fullest it got was 98% then a few seconds after it went 97% -- JUST SECONDS. I drained it the other day and as advised let it charge for full 24 hours, just to see earlier today (more than 24 hours passed) it was just at 83%. I am requesting for a replacement.

@@iPretty949 I was reading that if you keep the heart rate going all day long, it zaps the power really fast - like in a day.  I only turn on the heart monitor when I'm working out and mine lasts nearly a week.  But once I fell asleep while looking at my heart rate in bed and sure enough, it was dead the next morning.

I 'll recheck that. I charged it again and hopefully by tomorrow it is fully charged.
