A man was dumped and his Fitbit captured the whole messy business.

By all accounts getting dumped sucks, especially when you don’t see it coming.

You could be chugging along with your morning, counting down the minutes until recess, only to get to the tuck shop and realise your Year 9 boyfriend won’t be meeting you that day. Or any day.

Or perhaps you’re out with friends when you get that nail-in-coffin ‘we need to talk’ text.

I’m not sure where Koby Soto was when his boyfriend told him it was over, but suffice to say, it caught him by surprise.

What we do know, thanks to his trusty Fitbit, was that The Israeli entrepreneur was dumped shortly before noon and he really took it to heart.

We know because he shared the chart on his Twitter account.

Firstly, as evidence by the recess example, breaking up with someone before noon is just plain cruel.

I mean, you can actually pinpoint the second when his heart rips in half.

Koby Soto, middayish.

Some Twitter-users speculated that he may have been the one doing the dumping. (He wasn’t.)

Others suggested perhaps the Fitbit could be used as some sort of polygraph-style life detector test. (It can’t.)

Some tried to find the silver lining:

For Koby the data itself was was comforting, in fact he actually seemed rather pleased of his fitness device’s heartless charting of his emotional trauma.

“I’m a geek myself, having [written code] for a decade and founding my own startup so I like logging and tracking anything I can,” Soto told Business Insider.

“I absolutely don’t think it is intrusive. I chose to wear it and I found it interesting enough to share.”

To be honest, I think there are better ways to use a Fitbit.
