Fitbit

I bought mine from HSN.

I just got the flex. I have had the Ultra and the fitbit one. I really love the functionality of the the ONE but the flex is easier to remember to put on and it gets all the steps I miss when I forget or put the one on too late in the day.

The flex you can leave on all the time, and it tracks your sleep as well. The ONE tracks your elevation levels for step climbing and I think that is the only thing the flex does not do.

Well here we are Fitbit pals! Getting our steps in!

If you like the ease of wearing of the Flex and the missing function of the flights of steps on the One, Fitbit just started putting out press slides of their new product (called the Force).

There's not much information yet, but knowing corporate America, I'm betting it'll be out right before Christmas. You can see the info about it by just Googling "Fitbit Force".

It supposedly has all of the functionality of the One, in the wearable fashion of the Flex for around $130.

Just posting that in case anyone is interested in waiting.

Love that when it comes out I'd be right on it!

Can you use the one and flex interchangeably? I just don't think I'd want the flex on my wrist all the time. Can you switch between wearing them and get accurate information? I'm a woman - I like fashion options. Lol.

I don't know. I only have the ONE. And it's fine. I hook it on my bra and forget about it. And I really do forget it's there. At night they give you a Bracelet thing to insert it while sleeping. I guess so you don't loose it. For me personally, I don't think I want everyone seeing it. That's me though. With the ONE I don't need anything else.

My understanding is that you can swim/get wet with the flex. Is that true? Anyone?

It is Water resistant up to 30 feet. I love my flex.

[Shazam 517]

I know with the ONE it's sweat and rain resistant. But can't be submerged.

** I guess Nike has something like it too, I think it's called the Fuel Band. I don't know anything about it except it is more than my FitBit ONE.

[davidpelletier 50]

The Nike Fuelband is a nice device, sadly, it only works with an iOS device (iPhone, iPad and such). That ruled it out for me. They said for about a year and a half they were going to put out an Android app for it, and then, recanted that and said they were no longer working on it.

Also, I wanted to point out that Fitbit officially released their new device today, the Froce (http://www.fitbit.com/force). I'm really interested in seeing what people are going to say about it. The wristband form factor that the Flex provided was very appealing to me, but I had heard that people that talk with their hands a lot, or who don't move their arms when they walk (ie, pushing a stroller or something), were not getting accurate reading from the device.

Time will tell. And I still love my One.
