Best fitness tracker?
Anyone have one? Looking to get one for DH but not sure which is the best and most reasonably priced. He mainly goes to the gym and works out and runs. Tia!

Dh has a Fitbit and likes it. He wishes it had a heart rate monitor tho and some other stuff. It's mostly just a pedometer and an alarm in the morning.

I have the Fitbit Charge HR, which is a little bigger than the "regular" FB, but you can see number of steps, distance, heart rate, and calories burned right on the display (plus it has a clock). It is definitely not 100% accurate - I don't think any of them are, but it gives you a good idea of where you are, relative to other days. I would recommend it.

I got a Jawbone, without heart rate monitoring (it just wasn't a feature I cared that much about) and so far it's been great! It was only $90 on amazon.

I have a Charge as well. It also has other options when you use the app (sleep). I know it isn't totally accurate, but I use it as a guide.

I have the charge HR with the heart rate monitor... LOVE it! It syncs with my weight watchers ap and is really getting me to move more.

this is what I use as well. It's so funny when I'm ready for bed and look at my fitbit, if it say 9800 steps I walk in place for the additonal two hundred steps to make my 10,000... after that I no longer want to go to bed

I did the same thing the other night, except I was about 600 steps away.

Re: Best fitness tracker?
I ended up getting a fitbit one, I originally kept it in my pocket but if I did situps or anything that gravity did not intend, it would fall out. I then bought myself this:

and the fitbit actually fit perfectly in there!
Turns out I now have a cheap fitbit that doubles as a watch and an alarm clock!

You know you don't even have to walk in place. Just move your arm!
I have had a fit bit and a Nike one. IMO none are completely accurate. And they only track certain exercises.
You could have a super active day but be doing something that it doesn't read and you will not get the correct info from it.

Re: Best fitness tracker?
Ive had both the Jawbone and the Fitbit, so far I find them comparable. I do like the Jawbone app a bit better. I just preordered the new Fitbit Alta - so I can report back on that soon.
