Which Fitbit is the best??



Recommended Posts

Hi guys! I am working on loosing weight pre-op and I want to get a Fitbit that helps me track the most important things for being healthy. Can anyone suggest their favorite? I don't want one that is too bulky but I do like he idea of having a screen.

Thank you!

It's not to big on your wrist?

I have the Blaze and really like it but I think for ladies smaller size, the Alta is probably the best choice for fit and function.

I have a charge HR that I've been using for 2 years. I usually wear it in my (loose fitting) pant pocket because I was getting too many false steps. Must be waving my arms around too much.

I've been very happy with the charge HR for steps and such. Don't use it for HR though. I did find it interesting that the sleep monitor showed a very obvious shift from OSA to healthy sleep when I changed to sleeping upright a few months ago.

I'm a lady and I just got the blaze and I love it!! I love the exercise part built right in if you need a quick boost! I had the alta previously for 2 years and loved that one too but I like how much more I can do with the blaze.

The charge 2 isn't to big at all. I really like it and if my phone is somewhat nearby it'll show your texts and who is calling you

The AltaHR does everything the ChargeHR2 does except steps. The display is a little weird because it's thin (the width of the original fitbit). I found the ChargeHR2 to be a bit large for my wrist so I went with the Alta, but my daughter has the ChargeHR2 and doesn't mind the size.

I have the Alta (not alta2) it does all the steps, sleep etc. everything except heart rate. I’ve worn through several bands!

I tried on the Blaze watch and totally loved it! It fits around my wrist really well. I never wear jewelry though so that would be hard for me. I have to save up for something that expensive though.

I have the Alta HR which is the slender one. I like it a lot, but I think if I could do it again I'd get the wider Charge 2. My husband and SIL have that one and I like the display better. I love having the HR feature and specialized sleep data. It's so easy to tell if you're training in the right range. The one thing I would say is make sure it's tight when you exercise, sweat interferes with the HR sensors. :rolleyes:

I've had the Blaze over a year now and I love it! It's convenient for me especially controlling my music and reading my texts. I don't find it bulky at all

I am really leaning towards the Blaze. I tried on my friends and loved how it fit on my wrist.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
