Keep moving with the Runtastic Orbit Activity, Fitness & Sleep Tracker!

I was recently given the opportunity to work with Runtastic and was sent the Runtastic Orbit for review. This is now my favorite wearable technology and I can’t wait to share why I love it so much!

Runtastic Orbit

If you’re a fan of the FitBit tracker then you’ll certainly love the Orbit. Not only does it monitor your progress, without the need for constant reminders, but it’s also a versatile piece that allows you to wear it anywhere on your person you please whether you choose to wear it loud and proud or decide to place it in a more discreet location. It’s perfect for folks who need a helping hand when it comes to tracking things like goals, sleep cycles, calories burned or even using in place of your clunky pedometer.

Some great points of the Runtastic Orbit include:

  • 24 hour tracking so you never forget to mark your progress.
  • Helps you set and meet personal goals.
  • Tracks calories burned
  • Tracks your steps and distance
  • Tracks sleep duration and cycles
  • Uses a series of alarms and vibrations to alert you of notifications or monitor your progress.
  • It’s waterproof to a depth of 300 feet so you can wear it at the beach or even in your pool.
  • You can sync it to your Runtastic Me app and your Runtastic GPS app for biking, running and other fitness activities.
 I wear the black band all of the time because it goes with everything

The Orbit also includes nifty features such as easy to read display that shows you the progress you’ve made, the integrated sensor light (for those who want to have advanced sleep tracking), dual wristbands as well as a clip for versatile wearability. With the Orbit your days of frustration caused by losing track of your fitness progress are over. It’s the all-new, all-in-one fitness bracelet that supports not only iPhone but Android and Windows too! So, no excuses, grab yourself one of these nifty gadgets for yourself and turn your fitness goals into real life results!
The features that I use the most on my Runstastic Orbit are:
  • I use it as my watch
  • I set daily alarms on it
  • I set my goals for steps and amount of activity
  • I check my sleep duration
  • I wash dishes and more with it on so I’ve definitely been testing the waterproof claim, so far so good 🙂
  • I LOVE that I can look on my orbit to see my daily steps, calories burnt etc.. and not have to check the app for that unlike my old Fitbit.

One thing I wish I could do on the Runtastic Orbit that you can’t do is manually add what time I went to bed. Occasionally I forget to put it into sleep mode, if you do forget unfortunately you can’t manually add it. It would be helpful if you could do that so I hope they add it in the future.

Yep that’s me with my Runtastisc Orbit

Orbit includes two wristbands (Runtastic Blue and Basic Black), as well as a clip (Basic Black) for versatile usability. So, what are you waiting for? Track yourself 24/7 with Orbit: Reliable, round-the-clock tracking to help you get a better sense of your daily movements, personal habits and untapped potential. Transform goals into results with Runtastic Orbit. I give the Runtastic Orbit 5 stars for price as it’s less expensive than other trackers with the same capabilities and being able to use it as a watch and not having to look on your phone to see your results. It gets 4 out of 5 stars overall, if I was able to manually add things like the sleep times then it would get 5 out of 5 stars. Still it’s my #1 choice in activity trackers and it’s the one I wear every day!

Supported Devices:

  • iPhone: iPhone 4s/5/5s/5c/6/6 Plus
  • Android: Bluetooth® Smart Ready Android™ devices running Android 4.3 and more recent versions
  • Windows Phone: Bluetooth® Smart Ready Windows Phones running WP 8.1, or more recent versions

    I love that it shows the time as well as your step count right on the face of the bracelet. My dad has a FitBit and I don’t believe that one does.

    I like how bulky it looks! I have issues with fitbit because it is small and I feel like I would lose it so easily!

    I love everything about this tracker but my favorite part of all is that you can sync it to your Runtastic Me app and your Runtastic GPS app for biking, running and other fitness activities.

    I like that it tracks your steps and distance. This will surely get me up and moving, which I would try to do as much or more each day.

    I like that it tracks your sleep cycles. I always feel like I have a restless sleep so it would be interesting to find out how often I’m tossing and turning

    My favorite feature is the that it tracks your sleep cycle — I have trouble sleeping this may help me figure out what triggers my waking up.

    Thank you for the review! It was very informative! I love that this tracker is waterproof so I would not have to worry about wearing it while I wash dishes.

    I think this would help keep me motivated and moving. Sometimes I think I am moving more than I really am which is why I am not seeing the results as fast as I would like to. :/

    I love the fact that as small as it is, it is at HUGE motivator! I have a FitBit Flex and LOVE it! The only thing I wish mine had was the watch feature! I’ve been thinking of buying one for my husband to help him with his weight-loss goal.

    Sounds like a super product! I like that you don’t have to wear it on your wrist for all the world to see. Somethings are just nobody’s business, you know?

    I love my fitbit, but I do not always want it to be visible on my wrist. I love that this one can be worn as you say loud and proud, or discreetly using a clip!

    I don’t actually wear an activity tracker. How crazy is that? Guess I need to get on that. I just use my Nike+ app on my phone for runs! (and sometimes I even go without! Scandalous right?)

    Super review for a product that looks fantastic to use. I would love to be able to track my sleep duration and cycles, it would help me a lot.

    This sounds wonderful. I love the fact that it tracks your progress so you don’t even have to in case you forget. I think the two major factors for me are the water resistant feature and the sleep tracker. I have sleep apnea so this would be beneficial in knowing how well my sleep is.

    I like that it tracks sleep duration and cycles. That’s something I’d be very interested in finding out about myself.

    It sure is cool that it has a sleep tracker – my hubby has an undiagnosed sleep disorder (we are waiting for a few more months for his appointment at the sleep clinic.) it would be cool to start collecting data that may aid in his diagnosis

    I really like that the activity tracker can be worn on several places on the body if you want to ‘hide’ it.

    I love that it is waterproof to a depth of 300 feet because I tend to drop things accidentally especially in water.

    Oh my gosh I never knew one could keep up with your sleep too that is so awesome. I think I would wear mine load and proud because I have a huge goal to make for my 30th anniversary!

    I love that it coordinates with my phone. I could really use this because I really need to lose weight

    I think the best thing about this is that you can track everything on your phone as well. That way you can update your calorie burn in the health app of the iphone.

    I like that it gives you different options about how to wear it. I like my Fitbit, but there are occasions when I don’t really care to walk around with a bright blue rubber bracelet on my wrist.

    I like it that you can wear it anywhere–not necessarily on your wrist. Plus the fact that it is waterproof.

    I love the Runtastic Orbit activity tracker because one is waterproof, it tracks your sleep patterns, tracks your workout and steps. Also you can synchronize your music and has a time too. I love the design and the fact that is durable and flexible on your wrist. Great that you can leave it on till its time to be charged. Great battery life and easy to slide the features. I very highly recommended in your daily life activities. It will keep you moving and motivated! ☺

    Great review! I had been wondering if it was water resistant. Glad to see that you are able to wash dishes, etc with it. I’d hate to take it off each time I am cleaning as that is probably one of my most active times LOL.

    This would be great for my son. He has a weight problem and this would help show just how much he is doing
