00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:07,680
Linus Tech tips coverage of CES 2014 is brought to you by nc.com your source for

2
00:00:05,319 --> 00:00:13,360
great technology selection and service along with Corsair memory and Western

3
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:17,279
Digital this is the fitbug orb it is a

4
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:20,160
tiny little Fitness Aid that intends to

5
00:00:17,279 --> 00:00:24,519
remove a lot of the excuses that come along with most of them it's pretty much

6
00:00:22,119 --> 00:00:30,160
the simplest possible thing that still enables useful functionality so it has a

7
00:00:27,599 --> 00:00:35,280
3D accelerometer it has low power Bluetooth and it uses a coin battery to

8
00:00:32,439 --> 00:00:38,680
last for several months at a time so you don't have to put it on your nightstand

9
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:43,039
at night to charge it the idea is you should always be able to be wearing it

10
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:47,719
in some form or another it has a watch strap which I have obviously demoed

11
00:00:45,079 --> 00:00:51,320
right here it also has a belt clip which I can demo for you guys right here go

12
00:00:49,719 --> 00:00:55,600
ahead and throw that on there and finally it has an underwear clip that is

13
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:58,760
magnetic that I would be happy to demo for you guys no I'm just kidding I'm not

14
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:02,719
going to demo that part but it has an underwear clip this is great for um

15
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:07,479
women who don't necessarily have a belt or they want to wear a watch you can strap it to your underpants or your bra

16
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:12,400
or something like that so you can always have it on you it's an evolution from

17
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:16,400
their last Generation fitbug air which had a display so how is something

18
00:01:14,159 --> 00:01:21,880
without a display an evolution from something that had one well because it

19
00:01:19,119 --> 00:01:25,880
has Bluetooth now we have an app yes friends it has an app it also has an

20
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:29,560
online component now the app has all the basic functionality so it'll give you

21
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:33,840
your total steps aerobic steps it even helps you track things like sleep so it

22
00:01:31,799 --> 00:01:37,280
can tell you yo dog you're H sleep deprived because you went to bed like in

23
00:01:36,079 --> 00:01:42,920
the middle of the night and then you woke up like four times and you were tossing and turning it can tell you all

24
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:48,640
kinds of great stuff like that and aside from the app they are now launching a

25
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:50,799
new little program of customized uh well

26
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:56,799
programs so these are I believe they were 12we programs and whether you want

27
00:01:53,439 --> 00:01:58,759
to burn off that baby fat or you want to

28
00:01:56,799 --> 00:02:03,000
you know stretch out or get in shape for skiing they give you little webinars as

29
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:07,200
well as personalized goals some nutrition tips and such like that and

30
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:10,640
the idea is to have it instead of just being uh you know well hey we're fitbug

31
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:16,440
so we're credible so you should probably listen to us the idea is that they're going to have um well-renowned trainers

32
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:22,480
or celebrities backing them in endorsing them to show you that it's not just um

33
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:26,160
them making things up so to speak it's the okay so the kicker guys is that it's

34
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:29,480
only 50 bucks so when you compare that to something like actually the next door

35
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:34,840
neighbors here that have a much more Advan aned sort of Fitness e type device

36
00:02:32,319 --> 00:02:39,800
but is of course much more expensive and not necessarily easier to make yourself

37
00:02:37,319 --> 00:02:44,400
use all the time actually makes it look kind of appealing thank you for checking
