Tell me about the Fitbit?

DH knows I want one. I'm not big into watches, but I like to workout and stay active. He got me the Fitbit at Costco, but said there's the Charge too if I want to see it on the screen.

Which would you get or do you have and why?

Thanks!

I have the flex and I like it but now that's there's others out I want an upgrade. The flex is great but it has no info on it. You have to open the app to see your progress. There's no time on it either which I always look at for the time lol so annoying. I think I would get the charge or charge he when I upgrade. Just a little
More info on it

Thanks! That's what DH was saying we should get before we open the flex. Might return the flex and get the charge. Also will show the caller # on the screen if someone is calling which is cool.

Is it waterproof or resistant? I'm guessing you can't go in the pool with it, which is annoying bc I want it for swimming too. Oh well... can't have everything. LOL

I had the One (it clips to your bra so you don't have to wear a rubber bracelet) but knowing how many steps I took and how I slept got old pretty quickly.

I have the charge. I like it. It is not waterproof. The manufacturer says it is splash resistant but you should avoid submerging it in water. If you want a fitness tracker for swimming there are other products on the market designed for tracking in the pool.

I have the fitbit one without the screen and I also have a Nike Fuel band. Both are inaccurate and a waste IMO. They will not keep you more active.....maybe in the beginning but not long term and since they are inaccurate they give false sense of calories etc.

IMHO I'd get a garmin gps watch if you are thinking of staying active. It's more accurate. Someone of them can be used for swimming.

Re: Tell me about the Fitbit?

I have the Charge. Love it.

Although sometimes it's not 100% accurate. Sometimes it doesn't calculate flights of stairs and sometimes it adds flights when I know I didn't do flights of stairs.

I got mine from Best Buy.

Re: Tell me about the Fitbit?

I have the Charge and I love it. I wear it daily and it hasn't gotten old for me - I've had it since around Christmas.

I get into challenges with friends and like to see my stats each day. It's also the only way I notice incoming calls because my phone is always on silent.

YES! Me too! I was given the charge and love it. I do the work week hustle and love to see my stats and sleep pattern.
The incoming call alerts are great since my phone is always on vibrate or silent
