The company, on the other hand, is less than stellar. It died about a year and a half ago from a lack of profit model. It was revived about three weeks ago, but seems to have died again. All the registered user areas including personal data, forums, chat etc. have been now inaccessible since yesterday morning. They are not returning e-mail.
I would not buy this product until there is some assurance that they will be in business.Elegant, motivating tool accompanied by inspiring community! The success stories I've read on the message boards are heart warming. Skeptical couch potatoes donned the handy little SportBrain, watched their steps accumulate, were motivated to exercise more and watched the pounds and inches disappear.
Whether you need a kick in the pants to walk around the block or you're training for a marathon, you're in good company - the community consists of strollers and Ironman athletes, walkers, runners, sprinters and marathoners. SportBrain's following is growing by leaps and bounds! Share information, tips, advice and triumphs!
But, if all you want to do is see pretty, inspiring graphs and stats (and Happy Hearts for meeting your step goal) and to keep a log, SportBrain is extremely user-friendly.
Get one! Be one of the happy exercisers you see here and about. We're SportBrain users!I am WatchHerGo, SportBrain devotee since March 26, 2001 - going strong three years later! ;)
Just snap your SportBrain into the SportPort, which works much like a PDA's synchronization cradle. Connect the SportPort to your telephone line using a standard home telephone cord. The SportPort automatically dials in to the SportBrain Web servers and uploads your activity in a little over a minute. You can then log into your customized Web page with your PC to see an overview of your latest activity through numbers and pictures, step totals, weekly graphs, and detailed graphs.
The SportPort operates on three AAA batteries (included) and comes with a one-year limited warranty.
