Fitbit Charge

ChaniGetsHealthy

so i currently have a Fitbit Flex. from the website it seems the Charge is a souped up version of the Flex. if you have one, do you like it? should i spend the money and get a Charge HR? i have an HRM, so I wasn't going to bother.

(this is actually my Valentine's day present, my hubby wants my Flex because it's "not as big")

I'm curious about this device too. I love my polar but wonder if the charge is accurate

I love the Fitbit Charge. I love that I can click a button and see how many steps Ive done, how many miles, how much Ive burned and how many stairs. I can also set the stop watch to count how long I do a workout for and according to that it tells me how much I have burnt and been active. I like that I dont need to go on the internet to check my stats. With just a click of the button I can see all that. Also I love that I set alarms and it will vibrate to alert me. I never had a flex but from what I have heard from others who have both, hands down they prefer the Charge and another plus is that it links to MFP.

I am returning my charge HR today. No matter what I have tried, I cannot get an accurate HR while working out. My last run was 25 minutes at an 8 minute pace, my charge said 0 steps and 18 calories burned. I did a half hour Inferno aerobics class, was dripping sweat at the end, and was credited with 100 calories burned and barely a blip for elevated heart rate.

Check Fitbit's site. Go to community and Go to Help Forums. These watches are great in theory but really buggy and do not deliver.
