Know that there are no GPS maps on the screen
Being such a fan of the value that leftover “previous year” models offer, I’ve never in my life pre-ordered “the next” anything. But with this being my first tracker, I guess my 10 day wait was worth it. In many ways, the mandatory Fitbit app is more impressive than the device. Documentation in the box is non-existent, and much of what’s online is FAQ-based BS. But if you’re reasonably tech savvy, you’ll be able to figure out how to access most of the features you want through a combination of taps, swipes, scrolls and button squeezes. There is no “GPS screen.” It’s merely a GPS tracking transmitter(?) that allows you to view a map of where you went in the app on your phone AFTER you’ve gone on the route. So not super useful in finding your way back if you’re lost, unless you just want to backtrack?
