Lost another Withings Pulse...

So I lost another Withings Pulse the other day.

It was my forth Pulse over all, and is the second one I lost.

I lost my first one by attaching it to the key pocket on my 5-pocket jeans rather than the waste band.  I did it because I hadn't put my belt on yet.  Proceeded to put my belt on but failed to move it for some reason.  It was Tuesday, election day.  I went in to vote and somewhere on my commute to work, realized I had lost it.  This will become a recurring problem with me.  I wear the thing on my right side, and the seatbelt can knock it loose.

The second one had technical problems and Withins Support was awesome about it and replaced it after a bit of back and forth with them, even though I had bought it second hand.  Top marks to Withings customer support (I have contacted them about other things too, and they did well in those cases also).

The third one went into the ocean with me.  It still works as a pedometer, but the O2 and pulse features are shot and the battery only lasts 4 hours.  Salt water is very hard on electronics as you might have guessed.  I thought it was completely fried, but after drying it out and leaving it for 24 hours, then fully charging it, it came back to life, albeit with limited functionality.

The forth one simply popped out of it's rubber holder, again while getting out of my car I suspect. I had been very lucky with this one.  It went into the pool with me once.  The rubber cover kept it dry enough and it suffered no ill effects.  I had lost it before in a similar fashion, but retracing my steps I always found it.  I retraced my steps this time but it didn't turn up. I suspect someone else found it or I didn't loose it where I parked my car.

So now I'm using my phone to measure my steps which turns out to work ok, since I take my phone with me most places.  I think it might be a little generous with the step counts however.  I'm debating on getting another one.  Going to have to put a saved search on ebay and craigslist.  Maybe if I can score one cheap enough I'll do it again.  I need to find a use for all these Pulse accessories I have...
