Anyone using fit bit or something like it?

Considering get the fit bit flex but I'm reading mixed reviews. Would a true heart rate monitor be better?

Re: Anyone using fit bit or something like it?

I have a fit bit one.

I like that I can use it to track my steps, active minutes, calories burned, sleep, and calorie intake.

If you're looking for something to track your cardiovascular output and help you sustain a certain pace/heart rate during your work outs, I think a HRM is better than a fit bit, but the most accurate ones go around your chest, not your wrist.
