Fitbit users?

I've been thinking about getting something like the FitBit for a while now, I think it will help keep me motivated. I was going to get myself a FitBit Flex after Christmas, but then noticed that the FitBit Charge HR is coming out this year.

Is anyone using FitBit bands? How do you feel about them? Anyone waiting for the Charge HR?

I use the Flex. LOVE IT! I'm intrigued by the new ones coming out, but I love mine too much to be ready to get rid of it.

I used to have the Flex and just upgraded to the Charge. I didn't get the HR. The battery in my flex lasted 3 or 4 days where my charge can last up to 7. It definitely keeps me movtivated and the challenges with friends are pretty fun. My friend and I usually do the work week warrior one.

There is a group for fitbit users here also so if you have questions or concerns- they may already be posted there

I originally had a fitbit ultra but just got a fitbit one. I like that I can discretely clip it to my bra instead of having it on my wrist, just a preference. I would have gone for a zip but I didn't want to worry about a battery and it doesn't track sleep. (I'm about to have a newborn so I really want to track sleep.)

If there had been a non-band version with a HRM I may have waited for it. I'm waiting for the amp strip to be released personally, I plan to get one to replace my Polar.

Had a zip and really liked the simplicity of it but it ate batteries Now I have a ONE and I like how you can see all the numbers on the device itself (flex just has dots). I don't use many of the other features but the activity tracker feature is nice (like a stop watch). The best part of Fitbit is the friends you can compete with. That is the motivation. I like this MFP site better than the fitbit site and the logging and reporting I find better. FITBIT also advertises 95% accuracy and can be pretty consistent. Their support team is also very responsive. I had bad luck with the ONE needing constant resets but my wife has had great accuracy and consistency with hers.
