kcgal62 133 Posted October 5, 2013 Glad I found this post today. I went out and bought a fitbit flex. I get banded on the 15th. Getting all of my 'tools' ready to go! Thanks for all the info! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eatoandc 33 Posted October 5, 2013 Oh I love my zip, had the one and loved it too butl it was old and stopped working. Now I want an excuse to get the flex but my zip is in perfect shape still. I like that it links up to fitness pal and other apps to show your progress or you can track food on the fitbit app and website. Anyway I bought my dad one as a gift and he wears his every day. It's a great product!!! All of the models are great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eatoandc 33 Posted October 5, 2013 Btw I get banded next week and will be using my fitbit zip as extra motivation! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eatoandc 33 Posted October 5, 2013 Oh and Best Buy and radio shack are 2 places that I know carry fitbit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shazam 517 Posted October 5, 2013 Just received one today as a gift. It seems pretty cool. My sis purchased it through Amazon.com and you can download the app for free. I haven't seen everything as to how it does it all but. It seems pretty useful. A friend at work was considering of getting one because Weight Watches has their own for approx 40 dollars. But you have to pay 5 bucks on using the website. With the fitnit, it's free. Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluegirly 343 Posted October 5, 2013 I got mine at target....I have the flex and I love it!! I love that you can track your Water intake, since I always lose track of that! 1 Shazam reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shazam 517 Posted October 5, 2013 Yes, I love the Water tracking too. Also, seeing my activity and how far I've walked kinda makes me want to increase it for the next time. And I forget it's even there! I'm lovin it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

silly_weasel 39 Posted October 6, 2013 I saw this post and starting to consider a Fitbit myself. My birthday is coming up and my husband has been asking me what I want. I went to their website and watched the videos and stuff, but still don't understand how it makes you sleep better or exercise more. Is this thing actually worth $100 or is it just a fancy pedometer and I should I ask for jewelry instead? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jackie0214 36 Posted October 7, 2013 Jewelry vs fitbit? That's a hard decision. I like my fitbit over a pedometer because it's more accurate and user friendly. It motivates me to exercise because I want to go over 10,000 steps. If, at the end of the day, I'm close I walk around until I hit my goal. Don't really use the sleep feature (I did a couple of times) and don't see how it could actually improve my sleep. Wt loss has improved my sleep! 1 silly_weasel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shazam 517 Posted October 7, 2013 I love my fitbit, and now I'm going to use it to up my steps and activity!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lanagirl 65 Posted October 7, 2013 I have the fitbit flex and I love it!!!! It is just a expensive pedometer unless you use it to push you to walk more and become friends with others and compete with them and let them push you as well. I have had mine since July as a birthday present....best present ever and it syncs with my fitnesspal!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My niece just bought the bracelet and loves it. I live in the Boston area and got mine at the AT&T store and they were discounted. I have had it since December.
