Realistic working mans review --
I'm 6'2" and have had a slouch for many years because everything in life is about 2" too low to reach comfortably with good posture. I've tried the posture correcting shoulder strap brace things and they work to remind you for about 30 minutes and then you forget they're there and slouch through them until 4 hours pass and they start to be highly uncomfortable.
I am an active outdoorsman and handyman/contractor for a living so I was hesitant to try this GO that appeared to be designed for a desk jockey. I finally figured the high price (IMHO) was worth a shot. In short, it IS designed for a desk worker and has its limitations, but, it has still helped correct my posture better than any other method I've tried.
Yes, it can be annoying sometimes when you're doing a task that involves frequent bending over or working under a truck or checking fittings under a sink. Easy solution! When you get annoyed, switch it to tracking and the buzzing stops. When that job is done, switch to training again and let your body continue to learn correct posture on the drive home or throughout your evening. I stick mine on right out of my morning shower almost every day and it says there completely unobtrusively all day long!
I disliked the adhesive idea when ordering and thought for sure I would order the necklace upgrade, but I must say I am extremely impressed with how well the adhesives work! I am about a month into wearing it and only on my SECOND pad! I've been told I'm a rather oily person even. I use the alcohol pads on the sticky every time I take it off and it's good for another whole day. (I started using rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab which is cheaper...) There are exceptions to the whole day stick when I sweat hard in the sun. I usually leave it off when it falls off on those days, clean it, and start over the next day. Can't win them all...
I think the programming and app work fantastic for what it is. You have to understand that all that this thing is is an accelerometer that measures unit angle relative to earth plumb. With that basic technology, there is obvious limitations. If you plan to be swinging a pick or cutting up trees all day long, don't even bother wearing it. It will be buzzing all day and you already know there's nothing you can do better for your posture...
One thing I like is that if you slouch far enough (like tying your shoe, or lying down) it does not buzz at you. All the the angles and thresholds and timers and buzzing patterns can be configured in the easy to navigate app to tailor the experience for you.
Unfortunately, I have caught myself in the habit of slouching more than I normally would when working sometimes to keep the angle below the buzzing threshold, which is not good but something to be aware of.
I also have very sensitive skin (or lots of hair or something) and am very aware of anything touching me so I thought this sticker would drive me nuts. After the first 10 minutes of wearing it, I completely forgot about it!
The battery lasts about 2 full days which is impressive. The included case I thought was stupid at first, but quickly realized how nice it is to keep the adhesive clean when you're charging it, or packing it along somewhere.
The upshot --
The most effective slouch tool available right now
Requires some attention and consideration to be effective
Wear it on the weekends and days you're just around the office and leave it at home on highly physical days.
Wear it a few days a week and you will surely become continually aware of your posture!
Great battery
Fantastic adhesive performance
Highly customizable
Non-obtrusive
The whole goal of this product is to remind you of your lousy posture so often that being aware of your slouch is constantly on your mind, even when you take the GO off. This does that very well!
Absolutely worth the price of nearly $100
I highly recommend the GO 2 to anyone!

Overall a good product that is true to its description
My posture is very bad so I decided to give it a try.Overall, this is a quality product. It works as it should, it is small and light, relatively durable, very simple to connect and operate. The app is good and easy to use.Here are the disadvantages I see after a month of use:- The battery does not last long, and the connection with the phone is not always maintained either, therefore it is less suitable for continuous use throughout the day and more suitable for targeted use for a specific action, such as while working on the computer.- The price is a bit expensive in my opinion for what it does- On the one hand, the stickers for gluing the device on the back last for much more than one use, on the other hand, between uses, dirt sticks to them and it somewhat takes away the desire to use the device. In general the solution of placing it on the back using something sticky feels less elegant than the product itself. I haven't tried the necklace.- In the first days it helped me a lot to maintain good posture. I was surprised at how effective it was. But as time went by I got used to the feeling of vibration and now I notice that many times it vibrates in the background and my brain ignores it, especially when I'm concentrating on something.All in all, I would recommend it despite the disadvantages.Note that it is not necessary to buy stickers separately in the initial use, as I did, because the product comes with a small package of stickers.
