The LINK Armband does not display information on its own, but rather works in conjunction with the online Activity Manager. Package includes a free 3-month trial period subscription.Accuracy is on the ArmWhen you wear a BodyMedia FIT Armband directly on your arm, it monitors calories burned, monitors exercise intensity, steps taken and sleep quality. Other devices clip to your shirt or belt loop so they can only record simple data (steps) from when you move. Why is that important? BodyMedia FIT Armbands recognize that jogging up 3 flights of stairs is not the same as walking down 3 flights of stairs. You're doing more work and burning more calories jogging up those stairs.If you want to accurately monitor what's going on inside your body, you need a system that is in touch with you day and night. That's why BodyMedia FIT Armbands are worn directly on your arm. Its patented sensors detect skin temperature, sweat, the rate of heat leaving your body and motion. It knows what you're doing, when you're doing it and even the intensity of your effort. Online Activity ManagerOur Activity Manager allows you to upload data to our server via your smartphone or computer.

The Activity Manager allows you to enter your body's metrics (height, weight, age, gender), log food, and guides you to your goals with a running report on the progress you've made--all while tracking their personal bests. FIT coachThe Activity Manager also features FIT coach. The software analyzes the millions of data points gathered from your Armband and you are given individual feedback suggestions such as eating something different, adjusting activity levels or focusing on getting more sleep. All of the feedback you receive is based on your actual data.The LINK Armband makes information immediately available by communicating directly with your mobile device.

Review: GREAT tool for those who need help. - I have been using this device for about a month now to help me figure out how active I really am, I have long suspected that I am underestimating this due to my need of always going to the next level in Myfitnesspal in order to lose weight. I was right! This has seriously helped me figure things out. At first, I was skeptical it was tracking well, since my more intense workouts do seem to be under measure, but I think it is pretty accurate on the 24 hour basis. Long term is tough to say, but I do think it is worth the price and subscription as it has been rather eye opening. I got EXCELLENT customer service when I called with a question and really helped me understand the product better without being deceptive (he freely admitted that it is not the best for people who want to have more precise measurements for the actual workout, but for more of a 24 hour count). Connection to handheld: For those who concerned about the device losing connection, I have very little trouble. I am using a Samsung Galaxy Note with Android 4.1. I can continue to use my headset with it connected as well. Only time it seems to lose connection is when the phone goes to a more deep sleep mode, and I cannot fault the device for that, but my phone. Pros: Usually don't even feel it. Links in seconds for up to the minute counts. Links to MyFitnessPal and other food logging apps for a more complete food list. Gives credit for working harder to make sure you do not under eat. I have seen nothing to suggest that this is not quite accurate despite extensive research. Most complaints I see involve price and subscription. (when I called in he told me that they occasionally offer and annual subscription price for less and to watch the notifications in the system). Helps push yourself on days you are more sedentary. Those can sneak up on you! Cons: Tweeking to myfitnesspal can take some time. The calorie counts will not be perfect, but I found that when I set my FitnessPal to the same as the settings in BodyMedia, I was given too many extra calories. The best way I have found around this is to set your my fitnesspal to SEDENTARY and whatever rate you want to lose. Smaller people may have to adjust calorie amount down like I did to 960. I know this sounds scary, but trust me, it gets better. The bodymedia then kicks in and bumps you up to the amount you should be eating after a few hours to a more accurate count of what you should be that day, in my opinion. I am not going to lose sleep over 50 calories +/- difference as long as you are close; I don't think you should not either. It is still going to be way more accurate than guessing. One thing I would like to say is that the additional number can vary sometimes through out the day since it is estimating what your end of day will be. This may be most important if you workout hard in AM but are sedentary the rest of the day, so make sure you track as you go and by nightfall you will probably be more stable. It sounds annoying, but it really has not been for me. You must remove the device for at least 1 hour a day. I get this, but you want to choose your time wisely. You still get credit for time removed but as sedentary, so try to do it when driving or watching a movie. You can adjust the time not worn though so if you mess up, you can tell it you did something else. Not water proof. Not a huge deal, but worth mentioning. Review: Detailed Review: Had it about a month - I've had the BodyMedia LINK armband for about a month now and I've been using it everyday. The armband was super easy to set up and get registered with the Activity Manager online web application and get synced up with the app available for Android/iPhones. After registering and setting my weight loss goals the band immediately started recording data. The app works great and is super easy to sync with the armband. Sometimes it takes a few times to connect the band through bluetooth but I've had no major issues. Once connected, your data can be easily uploaded to the bodymedia servers to see your data on the online Activity Manager web application. To log my calorie consumption I've still opted to use MyFitnessPal because they have a much better food database and allow you to scan product barcodes to easily import the nutrition information for popular foods. The only reason I would have gave the armband 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the relatively poor food logging options. The BodyMedia app does have a food logger but its just a little limited. In any case, BodyMedia syncs very easily with MyFitnessPal and seamlessly updates the BodyMedia app with food you've logged in MyFitnessPal and also lists your excerise calories burned in the MyFitnessPal app. Still it would be nice to ditch the MyFitnessPal app altogether and just use the BodyMedia app. Exercises are easily logged when in exercise mode and number of steps taken are very accurate. I've cross referenced this with the Accupedo app on my phone and the number of steps logged on the exercise machine. BodyMedia is accurate within about 25 steps which is really impressive. Calories burned seem to be a tiny bit off. The gym machine I use has a heart rate monitor and the armband seems to be a little off with its results. I noticed once your heart rate is up and you are about 15 minutes into your exercise the armband keeps the same pace as the exercise machine. It's those first 15 minutes that seem to take the armband a little while to catch up. The menus with the app offer a wealth of information about your health. Turn your smartphone sideways and you can see a full daily calorie breakdown of everything you are eating, including pie charts of carbs/fats/protein distribution. The calories burned menu when turned sideways lists a full minute by minute breakdown of when you were burning the most calories and is extremely accurate. I never thought to use the sleep feature but its also extremely accurate and when turned sideways gives you a full minute by minute breakdown of your sleep statistics while monitoring your overall "restlessness". The app uses these statistics to list how many minutes you were both lying down and presumably asleep. I have sleep apnea so this is beneficial to me to see how many times I wake up to adjust my cpap machine. For people without sleep problems, the data is still interesting to look at. The online, web based Activity Manager is where the product really shines. Unfortunately it doesnt load that well on my Kindle Fire tablet but works just fine from a proper laptop or desktop based PC. Everything described above is available through Activity Manager and allows you to set/redefine goals, see your personal bests and sync with third party apps that transmit your BodyMedia data to be used elsewhere. At first I was a little disappointed that the app cost $6-7 a month after the initial free, three month trial period, but after seeing the 'Reports' section of the Activity Manager I now know where my money is going. The Reporting tools from the Activity Manager are incredible. Your daily or weekly data can be exported in pdf or Excel format and you can look at an extremely detailed snapshot of your weekly burn/consume calorie consumption. Maybe a little overkill for the average user, I happen to love the pages of reports to better define and achieve my weight loss goals. Overall, obviously the product is not going to magically take the weight off. I strictly followed the Atkins diet for 2 months prior to buying the armband and still managed to lose 20 lbs. I DO wish I had bought this right from the start to see how many calories I'm burning on average by sleeping, sitting at my desk, weight training, walking etc... I would have been able to better define my daily calorie goals and stay even more motivated. After buying the armband I've been parking a little further from the store, taking the stairs and doing a lot more walking in general because its fun and challenging to beat your personal bests and watch your calories burned go up with each armband/app sync. *Edit* The activity manager website application now loads just fine on my Kindle tablet. ## Features - Track your activity and calorie burn like the contestants on The Biggest Loser and endorsed by health and wellness expert Jillian Michaels - The BodyMedia system automatically tracks your calories around the clock helping you to lose weight and even improve your weight loss by 3X proven in group trials - Bluetooth-enabled to work with BodyMedia iPhone and Andoid apps so you can see your data in real-time and upload wirelessly Food logging also available with app - Works with MyFitnessPal, Runkeeper, Sparkpeople and more ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 3.6 out of 5 stars 740 Reviews | ## Images ![FIT Link Armband Weight Management System - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/719yVSqPV1L.jpg) ![FIT Link Armband Weight Management System - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91CTjxRDSvL.jpg) ![FIT Link Armband Weight Management System - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81IeQwOlw3L.jpg) ![FIT Link Armband Weight Management System - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61eul-ZmNlL.jpg) ![FIT Link Armband Weight Management System - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/616qqYjCpaL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ GREAT tool for those who need help. *by A***R on August 27, 2013* I have been using this device for about a month now to help me figure out how active I really am, I have long suspected that I am underestimating this due to my need of always going to the next level in Myfitnesspal in order to lose weight.

In this case, I feel it is warranted to share my experience with others; hopefully to save them from wasting money and time on this product. Conceptually, this is a great idea and there are many companies trying to bring this type of product to market. The demand for activity tracking devices is high and the market is ripe for someone to take the lead. After spending quite a bit of time researching several products, I found the BodyMedia FIT to have more of the features I was looking for; primarily, a central place to store data on caloric intake, caloric burn and sleep efficiency. When I opened the box, I was a bit surprised at the size of the product. It is somewhat bulky and would be hard to wear in many social settings. In my case, I have a home based business so it was easy for me to wear this unit 20+ hours on most days. The first setback occurred on the 2nd day of using the device. I purchased the BW version specifically for the bluetooth capability as I planned on using it in conjunction the the Android app...............BIG MISTAKE !!! The app is worthless. I could only get this thing to sync with my phone, at MOST, 5% of the time. The app also caused my DroidX to randomly stall and restart. Upon removing the BodyMedia FIT app, I no longer experienced this issue. So..........then the horror starts. I call technical support and was on hold for 15 minutes before it finally sent me to a voice mail system. I left them a message telling them of the issues and asking for a call back. Five hours later, NOTHING. I called them back the next morning and was on hold for 10 minutes before randomly being disconnected. I called once again and instead of pressing "3" for technical support, I pressed "1" for sales and viola.............instant human being. Funny how a company can rush to sell you something that does not work but fails to answer the phone to support the product. NEVER have I received such horrible support on a $200 product !!! When I reached the sales person, I told them of my problem and asked them if the failure to sync via bluetooth was a "known issue". Their response was........"I am sorry sir but we are not equipped to answer that question, I am going to have to refer you to technical support" REALLY? YOU ARE KIDDING RIGHT? You mean the technical support that kept me on hold for a total of 25 minutes, randomly disconnected me and then never did call me back? That technical support? Long story short, at least I was smart enough to take the 3-month "free" trial of their website instead of prepaying for 12 months an a reduced monthly rate. I put this thing back in the box and returned it to Amazon after a week. Thank God I purchased it through Amazon instead of the BodyMedia website. I can only imagine what a nightmare it would be to try and get your money back. In closing, I would only ask one simple question. What happened to good, honest business and "world class" customer support? All they would have had to do is tell me there are some technical issues they are working through and ask me to bear with them. I would have gladly asked for a couple months of free use of their web app and been patient while they worked through the issues. Instead, they treat you like they could care less and instead of sales being honest, they tell you they are not equipped to answer a simple question. Don't waste your money on this product. Maybe in six to nine months, a dip in sales and a spike in returns, they will get the message and turn things around --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.my/products/764848-fit-link-armband-weight-management-system](https://www.desertcart.com.my/products/764848-fit-link-armband-weight-management-system) --- *Product available on Desertcart Malaysia* *Store origin: MY* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
