I started using a Flash a few weeks ago and really love it (simple enough and only tracks what I need to currently...cycling/steps/basic sleep/etc). Anyone on MFP that wants to add a friend let me know. Login is trmulder02. Thanks guys and keep up the good work fellow MFP'ers.

    My sports band already broke, has anyone else had this happen? Now I use the clip, but want to swim and I've heard the wrist tracks better. Thoughts?

    Mines broke took after a week and the company told me it was the positive side spring was not making contact with the battery and that I should turn it, pull up and then press the spring back down, but to be careful not to break it because it is fragile. I just told them yeah I'm just going try to take it back to bestbuy because I should not have to do that after only having it for a week.

    would those of you who have a misfit say it's worth it? I keep thinking about getting one, but then tell myself I know how active I've been and I have a pedometer as well, but then I figure it must have a good impact on motivation, to be able to see how active you have been.

    Is it a worthy investment?

    Id say it is. I only got mine yesterday, and already I've made conscious decisions, to walk that bit further wtc, just to achieve my goal for the day. Imo it is!

    Hi all, I've had the Flash for few days. So far so good except I don't think I have it synced with MFP. Please everyone, add me as a friend. Lynnerdmc

    I keep seeing that the misfit is too sensitive? that brushing your teeth will say you've walked 200 steps or something. Is it worth the money? I brought a dynamo one which went wrong and failed to connect to BT. Does BT always need to on for it to work?

    as far as this question goes, you only need to connect it to BT (bluetooth right?) for syncing purposes. it works quite well without BT, but if you want to see your actual numerical activity on the app, you need to sync it, which requires BT, but only for a couple of seconds.

    Anyone, please correct me if im wrong! thanks!

    We bought a couple for my wife and i, her wristband broke and my belt clip broke within three weeks of use. Nothing out of the ordinary, just regular use. I've emailed their customer service, waiting for reply

    I've learned now to wear it differently. It's now clipped to my waist or in my pocket during the day and in my hair (clipped, lol it's thick) at night. This seems to relieve excess wear on the clip, but I'm worried about losing it
