gingeryank 37 Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) Jawbone UP3. It tracks my heart rate, sleep patterns, and exercise and is Water resistant. Can wear it showering and swimming but not supposed to submerge it below a certain depth, if I recall correctly. I liked the Fitbit, too, but enjoy the UP app better. The app provides daily goals and reminders and educational pieces. You can also set the band to buzz if you need reminders to move, take meds, etc. Like many of the other fitness bands, the UP3 integrates seamlessly with myfitnesspal. There's a clip-on version, but it doesn't have the bells and whistles. My only complaint about the UP3 is the way that it fastens. It kind of slides/clips in, and the band can come off or catch on things occasionally if you're not careful. Hasn't happened often but worth mentioning. I find the UP3 to be reasonably accurate. I also like that it's just a slim band. I don't like wearing watches or bracelets, but I can handle this.

j16 166 Posted April 26, 2016 I have a Fitbit HR which I got for the heart rate monitor but for years I used an Omron clip on which was really accurate. I don't recall the model number but at the time it was listed as the most accurate by Consumer Reports.

erik78 79 Posted April 26, 2016 I had a jawbone up 3., then a Fitbit charge. Then the Apple Watch. If cost isn't a concern, The Apple Watch for me was by far the best for me. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SamBwaR3 62 Posted April 26, 2016 Garmin Vivosmart HR for me. Waterproof, tracks stairs climbed and descended, sleep, syncs to MFP app, great battery life. Oh, it's waterproof. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pazza 199 Posted April 26, 2016 I have a Fit Bit Charge HR and really like it. I wanted the Heart Rate function. I am not sure how accurate the calorie count is, I think it is exaggerated. It syncs well with multiple systems/apps. It is a good motivator for me to get up and moving. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elle09 157 Posted April 27, 2016 I have a Fitbit HR and just recently got a Fitbit Blaze. I like having the heart rate function and I enjoy the challenges with others. It keeps me motivated. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Christinamo7 4,042 Posted April 27, 2016 I don't use a device. I use mapmywalk to track my workouts and periodically enter my food data for a check up on my calories. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IncredibleShrinkingMe 24 Posted May 8, 2016 Another one with a Garmin Vivosmart HR. I swapped over from the fitbit and have never looked back. Totally waterproof and it adjusts your totals to keep you challenged. If you are consistently smashing 10K steps, it will adjust your targets upwards. If you do less than 10K, it will meet you where you are. Absolutely love it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nikki99 0 Posted May 9, 2016 I use the Fitbit Charger HR. It does everything u from counting your steps, heart rate, stairs, the Fitbit app does everything for you, from sincing it, how much sleep you got, its got a food tracker, putting in your weight, and the exercises that you do each day. I highly recommend this Fitbit. Oh, one more thing I forgot to mention is it even tells you the time. Sent from my SM-G360T using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
