Fitbit Updates with Fitbit Ultra

Fitbit, the oddly popular pedometer, has been updated with the introduction of the Fitbit Ultra. The device connects wirelessly to a small base station that also works as a charger. The base station also works as a relay point as it sends stats to the Internet as the Fitbit user approaches the device. These stats are then compiled and presented in charts and graphs.

Like its predecessor, the Fitbit Ultra records the number of steps taken by the user as well as the user’s sleep patterns while strapped to the wrist. Its small OLED monitor reads current stats like calories burned, distance traveled, and steps taken. It can also be pinned onto clothing and lasts about a week on a single charge.

The Fitbit Ultra is now available for a reasonable price of $99.
