I wish I could say that Healbe Gobe works...!!

I received my GoBe 2 weeks ago but I started investigating about it much before and the best place is on the beta testers group, where real users post theirs experiences and problems.

If you are curious to see the internals of GoBe, please see my message with high quality photos I took when I disassembled it.

Here are some pictures of GoBe in my pulse, side by side with my Basis Peak - GoBe is huge:
















There are know problems with GoBe, reported by many users and acknowledged by Healbe - on beta testers group and even on the company blog message - their site is full of not so good PR :-(

What does NOT WORK for me:
  • intake calorie counting - sometimes it just do not detect at all some meals, others it measure with double of the value. I bought GoBe for this specific feature because it is unique having this!!
  • heart rate monitor - it never measured a value higher than 100 bpm while with my Basis Peak I can go easily up to 115 bpm while walking a bit fast on my days - or even higher when I do sports.
  • battery holds only about 1 day - I must say that if intake calorie counting would work, I would be happy to charge the needed 2 times a day since being able to automatically counting the intake calories can have a HUGE impact on my health.
That first 2 big issues makes this product a fail!! After testing it many times in the hope for it working, I ended not using it and so I can't recommend Healbe GoBe to anyone.

On Beta testers group, we can find sometimes answers from some top managers/developers of Healbe. And I am happy that most of time them seem to handle very well the community. They also acknowledge the problems and they even shared a spreadsheet showing a table with current algorithm errors and future algorithm with less errors for calorie intake measurements. All this is really positive.

I have high expectations for this product/technology, because it will have HIGH IMPACT on people health options about food!!

Here are some screenshots of the application showing my digestions graph (top side calorie intake, down side spent body calories). Even if they are not good... the true is that this device can detect (not always) something about my digestion...
