Product Description
From the Manufacturer
Between work and family, it's hard to fit exercise into a busy schedule. Striiv is the first Smart Pedometer that motivates you to walk more throughout your busiest days--making it easy to be more active, lose weight, and step into a healthier lifestyle. Striiv goes beyond numbers and charts. Its color touch screen with built-in Apps lets you compete with friends and family, hit personalized goals, do walkathons for good causes, or play games powered by walking. It provides instant feedback throughout your day (without needing to sync to a computer). You can also view your stats, goals, and donations at www.striiv.com, and let your friends cheer you on over Facebook and Twitter.
Why Striiv?
Go Beyond Tracking: Get Motivated
Other devices just track what you do. Striiv is smarter--it figures out what gets you moving. What would get you to take the stairs instead of the elevator: a higher number on a graph or a donation of clean water for a child in need? That's the difference between Striiv and tracking devices. Striiv lets you compete with friends, hit personalized goals, do walkathons (at no cost to you), and play games powered by walking. Walking becomes so much fun that Striiv will be your first healthy addiction.
Real Results - Lose Weight & Be Healthier
Over 96% of Striiv users tell us they are more active, 70% have seen their health improve, and 60% have lost an average of 13lbs.* Here's an eye-opening fact: Walking 30 minutes throughout your day will change your life. Doctors universally recommend walking to lose weight, fight diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. On average, Striiv users walk an astonishing 90 minutes throughout the day (three times the recommendation). Taking stairs, walking to lunch, or playing with their kids at the park--it all adds up.
Color Touch Screen Gives Instant Feedback
Striiv's high-resolution color touch screen is at your fingertips all day, providing instant feedback and encouragement. No need to be tethered to a computer to track progress, so you get the motivation you need when you're actually up and moving. Think of the first time you checked email or played games on your smartphone--using your phone was suddenly a whole new experience. Striiv's Smart Pedometer offers the same improvement. Striiv gives you more than just numbers--it makes exercise fun and meaningful.
Striiv’s Secret: Motivation
We believe people are motivated by their passions, and not just by stats or self-discipline. Whether it's the walkathon, personalized challenges, social competitions, or our games, you'll be walking and taking the stairs a lot more because it's fun and meaningful.
A Walkathon in Your Pocket
Helping others provides powerful motivation. At no cost to you, Striiv and corporate partners donate on your behalf as you walk. Just walk, earn, and plug into your computer to donate. It's that simple. You have the choice of three charities--donating water to families in South America, polio vaccines, and saving the rainforest. The more you walk, the more sponsors give.
Personalized Goals
Have a staircase at home? Enjoy walking to lunch? Striiv learns your routine and then recommends custom challenges designed to get you fit. You can even compete with friends and compare against their achievements.
Games Powered by Activity
The concept is simple--make addictively fun games powered by walking and you will get fit. Whether it's building a magical island, or racing "Waddles the penguin" up the Statue of Liberty, our games will get you hooked on being active. Don't be surprised if you find yourself walking up and down your stairs at 3 a.m.
Play with Friends and Family Wirelessly
Striiv just got social. Every Striiv has a built-in wireless radio that enables you to compete with the people around you: race across the Golden Gate Bridge to see who washes the dishes or climb the Statue of Liberty wagering 1,000 Striiv points. Then, share (or brag about) your victories on Facebook and Twitter.
Tracking and Charts
Striiv tracks your steps, stairs, calories, and minutes of activity. All these stats are displayed on Striiv's large color touch screen. In addition, see charts right on your device--no computer needed. You can also go online for additional insights.
Accurate & Upgradable
High Accuracy
In addition to the 3-D motion sensor and high precision altimeter, Striiv's dual-core CPU & DSP add an additional layer of accuracy. Other trackers report up to thousands of "fake steps" from car vibrations or random movements each day, but Striiv's proprietary TruMotion(TM) technology detects and filters them out to provide the best accuracy in the toughest real world conditions.
Easily Upgradable: Always Getting Better
Periodically connect Striiv to your computer and you'll get fresh Apps, content, and motivation. For example, in the last update, customers received new personalized challenges (Striiv now learns your behavior), a new island in the Myland game, and even more accurate firmware to count steps. As a company, we're eager to hear your feedback and we'll keep improving your Striiv over time.
*Results are from a survey study conducted by Striiv in April 2012.

I gave this to my wife on Christmas Eve and she LOVES IT! She had been using a Polar Training Watch and had been doing heavy elliptical work (6-7 hours per week), but had gotten off her training program and was dreading starting again.
Bought her this because she really likes graphic feedback and goals. She started playing with it while people were over and is delighted with the trophies, video game style feedback, loves developing her island, animals and gardens. It did the trick and made it fun for her to get active and moving. She's doing little up and down the step routines because of the rewards. She laughs out loud with delight when she gets new and unexpected items on her island.
I hope the incentives continue to work for her, but it's been well worth the price to get her active and enjoying exercising again. Just got back from taking a long walk around the neighborhood at her suggestion.
Technical thoughts. We agree that the Striiv has done a great job of tapping into short term goal setting and rewarding the desire for immediate gratification. My wife is a PhD / professor of Social Work, son is a doctoral student in Nanotechnology / Electrical and Computer Engineering, and we were all marveling at the design and thoughtful programming that has gone into this. He admits he might want one too because while he goes to the gym and lifts weights, he can get into sedentary patterns while writing and doing research. She falls into this when grading papers and working on research projects too. Both agreed that this got them thinking about how active they had been, and both liked the comparisons it makes to national averages, daily, weekly and monthly activity averages. Raised awareness of activity levels.
Bottom line, I've threatened to take it away from her at 10 pm each night lest she be tempted to do 'one more thing on it.' That's pretty strong motivation.

I gave this to my wife for Christmas and she has been enjoying it, but today (10 uses) half way through her morning walk it locked up and stopped counting steps. I tried going through all the setting to no avail. I shook it gently for a minute and it started working again. Later it locked up again which again was resolved by shaking it a while. I suspect it may have been static from the wool sweater she was wearing; time will tell.
We both like the charitable contribution feature.
I wish it would have software on the PC that would capture and display the data.
I did some unscientific testing for accuracy.
100 steps walking with it in my sweat pants pocket registered 106.
100 steps walking with it in my jacket pocket registered 107.
100 steps walking with it hanging from my jacket zipper registered 100.
200 steps jogging with it hanging from my jacket zipper registered 171.
100 steps jogging with it in my sweat pants pocket registered 29.

I bought one in November 2011 and loved it. I was walking over 10,000 steps a day. I was driving my husband and son crazy walking back an forth threw the house and around circles around the kitchen island. It lasted 10 days. It stopped counting my steps and then the screen went black. I turned it back on a it wiped out all my saved data, all the trophies, the two donated glasses of water that I didnt get around to downloading, everything. I sent it back and purchased another one along with the fitbit. I started them both on December 6th 2011. The fitbit was great to track sleeping patterns and the striiv was great for motavation. The fitbit is still going but the Striiv died Dec 27th 2011, not even a month. The screen locked up on achievments. Ive plugged it in to the outlet to recharge it. Ive tried to turn it off. I plugged it in to the computer and the computer isnt reading it. Im going to try to let it run completely out of power and see if that will unlock it but I will probably be sending this one back also
