![]() So the device goes off when you leave this calibrated position. This means getting into what you consider to be ‘good’ posture, and then tapping the device. ![]() The first is that you have to calibrate the device yourself. Something to do with accelerometers or something? I’m sure the technology is very clever, but as with the Pavlok it has its downsides. And who would wear a ‘digital posture coach’ on a sexy date out? I don’t understand this marketing.ĭoes it work? Well, yeah. Mr Business Man is never ever ever gonna wear one of these to any kind of serious business meeting. Just LOL at these ‘lifestyle’ images from the media section of their website. Do you think this person is some sort of future tech genius? Or do you think they’re probably a bit weird? I won’t bother going into which of those reactions I mostly got from people. Nobody can take seriously the idea of anyone ever wearing a ‘digital posture coach.’ Just imagine, someone tells you they’re wearing a device concealed under their clothes that tracks and corrects their posture all day every day. Then comes actually answering the question of what it is. But it’s gonna look weird no matter what, in my opinion. It didn’t help that I was wearing it right next to my breastbone so it looked like I had some weird metallic nipple thing going on like some killer terminator robot from the future. Cue the comments from literally everyone asking ‘what is that little metal square on your chest.’ All well and good if you’re wearing more than one layer, but it’s obviously super visible if you’re only wearing a top/shirt. To put on the Lumo Lift you have to sort of hold it under your clothes and then put a little square magnet on your clothes to hold it on. I lasted even less time than with my Pavlok, and I encountered many of the same issues. I should mention that Lumo have another very similar product called Lumo Run which is basically identical except it tells you about your running instead. I didn’t really use that feature so much, because my watch does that too, and my phone does that too, and also I know when I’m walking and not walking by using my brain. Everything has to track steps now apparently. Oh yeah, and that second bit it’s tracking there is steps. ![]() Getting owned by this new wearable i’m trying out /6DlTGHFO95 The app is good if you like your phone telling you how much of a slouching pig you are in unkind terms. It also syncs to an app via bluetooth because everything has to sync to an app via bluetooth these days. If you move out of that posture for too long, the lumo vibrates, gently reminding you to OI STOP SLOUCHING YA FRICKIN IDIOT. You hold it down to activate it, then tap it a few times when you’re in a ‘good’ posture. It’s a small little device that you wear under your clothes using a little magnetic clasp. So today we’re (I’m) talking about the Lumo Lift – “ the world’s best selling digital posture coach.” Yes, really. Also, this one hasn’t had much attention in the UK and I want to boost my profile by being one of the first to write about how dumb it is lol. I just can’t seem to stop buying and wearing stupid things. In almost all cases, though, people who tried the gadget said they became more aware of their posture in real-time.Oh god yes, another wearable review. Reviewers note that having a straight back while wearing the device is a lot harder than they thought it’d be since the Lumo Lift gives feedback so frequently. On the negative side of things, some users said the Lumo Lift buzzed too often to be useful and gave them the vibration feedback even when they were displaying good posture. That’s good news for potential buyers who feel slightly intimidated by new gadgets - although the consensus says setup is simple. The customer support provided by the company also scores well, and people say the representatives they communicate with are responsive and useful. People also weigh in to say the magnets occasionally fail and make them lose their Lumo Lifts. That’s a helpful capability for people who sometimes need to bend down but aren’t slouching.Īs far as attaching the Lumo Lift to clothing, users generally like the magnets but say they don’t always have as much strength as what’s needed to maintain close contact, making it necessary to order supplementary adhesive strips that attach the device to the body. People report that it gives them recognizable feedback and has a coaching feature that allows them to specify how long bad posture persists before the alerts begin. The Lumo Lift is another popular slouch stopper, but how well does it work? Health statistics indicate that bad posture is one of the most common causes of back pain.
