Sprint Motorola Moto X and the Fitbit Flex Review #SprintMom #MC

I participated in an Ambassador Program on behalf of Mom Central Consulting (#MC) for Sprint. I received product samples to facilitate my review.

 

Now that everyone is back to school and fall is upon us, it is even more important to stay on top of everything! We search for gadgets that make our lives easier and can keep up with our busy lifestyles.  With two kids here, I have a crazy life, and I am always looking for a phone that I can multitask with.  The Sprint Motorola Moto X is a pretty sweet phone that meets all those needs.

One of my most favorite aspects of Sprint Motorola Moto X is the touchless control.  I love being able to talk to my phone instead of having to dig through 20 screens to find what I’m looking for.  All you have to do is say  “OK Google Now”.  The phone literally learns your voice.  You ask it to find you directions or even get a weather report.  I personally like using it to add all the crap we have going on to the calender.  I can get Madison’s piano lessons scheduled just as easy as my doctor appointments.  My second favorite feature is the Quick Capture.   With two twists of your wrist, the Moto X is ready to shoot. Touch anywhere on the screen, and you’ll get an amazing shot.  This phone allows you to take pictures soooo much faster.  With kids, this is definitely needed!  the active display has information quietly appearing on your screen.  Motorola Connect also provides in-browser notifications, and Motorola Migrate allows you to migrate call logs, text messages, pictures and music from an old Android device (must be Android 2.2, Froyo, or above) to Moto X.  You also have to love a Smartphone with dual cameras.  You can’t go wrong with a 10 MP rear-facing camera with LED flash, 4 X digital zoom and video capture, 2 MP.  As a Sprint customer, you also will get  Sprint TV® and Movies, with more than 15 channels of live sports, live breaking news and full episodes of the most popular daytime, primetime and kids entertainment and  Sprint Music Plus, a full-featured music store and player for music tracks, ringtones, and ringback tones, including millions of DRM-free music tracks and tones updated daily.

I really like the Sprint Motorola Moto X, so I can only recommend it!  I also was able to review the FitBit Flex.

I am a huge FitBit fan.  You can easily wear this slim, stylish device all the time and get the motivation you need to get out and be more active. It tracks steps, distance, and calories burned shows you how you’re stacking up against your daily goals (and your friends too!. At night, it tracks your sleep cycle, helps you learn how to sleep better, and wakes you silently in the morning.  I found out I wake up a lot less during the night than I thought.  You can also easily access your stats anytime on your computer, tablet or from leading smartphones – both iPhone and Android. For me, this is super great, so I can show my doctor that I am working out enough!  Plus, you will find that you walk a lot more than you think during the day!  However, want to know my most favorite feature of the FitBit Flex?  It is water resistant.  I don’t have to worry about losing it anymore!  I love that I can wear it right in the shower with me!

Both the Motorola Moto X and the Fitbit Flex are great and recommended!!!
