Kindle 8,667 Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) Fitbit One here. I really wanted a Charge HR, but With my job, it's not practical to wear something on my wrist. clipping the One on my pocket or waistband works great. Seems pretty accurate and stays on very well. Just have to remember to clip it on each morning but that's pretty routine now. Battery life is great I maybe charge it every 10-14 days. The only thing I don't like is that you can't turn it on/off. I sometimes forget to take it off when I go riding, so it ends up recording 20,000+ steps I didn't take. Short of being able to turn it on/off, it would be nice to be able to manually adjust the step count when things like that happen. I would think that would be any easy feature to add to the app. ****edit**** so I just discovered that if you enter "driving" as an activity, it will delete all steps taken during that time period. So the one thing I didn't like about my Fitbit is now fixed. Yay!! Edited June 6, 2015 by Kindle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mel77 67 Posted June 6, 2015 Fitbit charge. I like it had it for six months. I wish I had known the new one had a heart rate monitor and I would have waited a few weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cielle92 4 Posted June 6, 2015 I just bought a Fitbit charge HR. I walk a lot at my job when college is in session, but during the summer I work at a desk. So my main use is to add activity to my regular day and to try and match my activity during the summer. It does motivate me to hit goals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LisaPunkinHead 187 Posted June 6, 2015 I have a Fitbit Flex and I don't use it. I track my intake on MyFitnessPal, and my exercise is running and circuit training, so it really doesn't work for those activities. It's more of a step tracker, and I don't find it to be very accurate at that! Just my opinion, your mileage may vary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HopeandAgony 566 Posted June 7, 2015 I have the flex. LOVE it. It really keeps me on track. I haven't had surgery yet but I like that it tracks my steps and sleep pattern. Mine syncs to my phone and I can track all my calories and liquids on my phone. Really am glad I have it and will definitely continue to use it after I have my surgery.

snowkitten 371 Posted June 12, 2015 I have the charge hr. I LOVE it. I love the screen and being able to check it at random. I love that it tracks my heart to give me a good picture of my real calories burned. Love that it connects to my fitness pal. It alerts me when I get a call (very handy as I often forget to turn my ringer on after work and I have a sick mom that calls me when she needs help). I really like that I push myself to see more steps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jess55 97 Posted June 12, 2015 I have the Fitbit ChargeHR. I love it. I've tried the bodymediafit, and the jawboneUP24 also the bodymediafit was good except it was to noticeable. The jawbone I did like, but after having to get a replacement three times in 6 months I was done with it, even though I just got the newest replacement in the mail, I already switched to Fitbit. I feel like it keeps me accountable. I like seeing the steps I've taken. When I didn't have it I would be lazy, but with it if I don't see it over a certain amount of steps I get disappointed in myself. So if I hadn't had a chance to go to the gym or its my off day I will still go take a walk to get them up. The only two things which I wish were different on the one I have is battery life, I wish was a little better, and I wish it were waterproof. But I just stick it on the charger when I get in the shower Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lfry925 38 Posted June 13, 2015 I love my fitbit! It's also a great reminder to get moving each day. The workweek hustle with friends is a great motivator. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AllthingsApple 34 Posted June 13, 2015 I have the Fitbit Charge and I love it. With it synced to myfitnesspal it easily shows me what I've burned based on the number of steps. I too like to challenge myself to get between 8-10k steps per day since I'm sitting all day for my job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OctoberRust127 48 Posted June 15, 2015 I have the Fitbit flex (the basic one) and I love it! It's kinda fun seeing how many steps you take each day, and seeing how many miles you walk. I make a game out of it and try to do better each day, even if it's just a couple steps! You get badges for completing certain milestones and you can compete in fun games with your friends. It's a great tool! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
