Maybe the answer is a kinetically recharged device (uses motion of walking to top up the battery) with a bluetooth connection to CardioTrainer so it can collate all day walking to active tracked walking/running/riding and upload it all to Google health...

Some pictures online show the modle with a reset button, but this one doesn't have one. Set,mode and memo. thats it.

For some reason the little BI at the bottom right is flashing but I really don't know, the instruction manual says to download the unit cause its full. But when I do it only goes to 92% and then quits. The instruction manual doesn't really do you any help into trying to resolve this little problem. I had this unit and it kept on reseting itself every time when I used it. I kept changing the battery every 2 days. I really don't know what is wrong with this unit. I think that the instruction manual never dose explain anything at all. Can someone please help me with this unit?
