edited to add I found a review (http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/fitbit-review/):
"spend any time doing things like weight training, cycling, or swimming, and you need to enter them manually -- particularly that last one, since the Fitbit is not waterproof. You could easily spend 30 minutes in here every day logging everything you eat and do"

Two of the things that make up 75% of my activities.
How long every day do you do those two activities? 2 hours? The other 22 hours a day are covered automatically by Fitbit, and then you can make entries for those two hours. But different strokes for different folks. It is not a perfect device, but it is a very nice choice for many people.
