The BodyMedia Fit Core fitness band, when worn around the clock, collects good information about your exercise, calorie burn, and sleep. But the gadget itself is unsightly and uncomfortable, and you have to pay extra to access the data.

Bodymedia Fit Core : Front

BodyMedia Fit Core ($179.99, direct) is a gadget that you wear on your arm to measure your fitness.

Bodymedia Fit Core : Angle

BodyMedia Fit Core is a small and lightweight device.

Bodymedia Fit Core : Back

Two silver plates touch the skin to measure body temperature and galvanic skin response (essentially, perspiration) to estimate how many calories you're burning.

Bodymedia Fit Core : Port

Hidden on the device's side is a micro USB port, used for first setting up the device with a computer. It also has Bluetooth support so that it can sync data wirelessly to your computer.

Bodymedia Fit Core : Front

When worn on the arm, the BodyMedia is somewhat bulky.

BodyMedia: Activity Manager

The online Activity Manager lets you see the data the BodyMedia collects, but it costs as additional $6.95 per month to use.
