FLICK OF THE WRIST — GCHS Drama teacher Laverne Waldrop models her Fitbit.

Because the fact that almost everyone owns a smartphone, you don’t see many people wearing watches anymore, especially teenagers.

 

However, if you walk the halls of GC, you might see quite a few people wearing small wristbands. It’s not just any wristband, though, it’s new piece of technology – a Fitbit.

 

The Fitbit is a watch, but it not only tracks time. It’s a fitness watch that tracks every part- including activity, exercise, food, weight, and sleep. You can also sync your Fitbit to your computer or on your phone with a special app.

 

“I like my Fitbit because it helps me track my calories burned on a regular basis,” shared junior Shelby Dodson. “Also, it helps me track my sleep schedule.”
