Fitbit alternatives

My Fitbit died. Have used many Fitbit products and have been happy. But with all the new trackers out there, should I stick with Fitbit or venture out with something new?

I have a Fitbit and a Jawbone UP. (I'm a data nerd.) I had such a horrible experience with Jawbone customer service that I'll never recommend them again to anyone.

Fitbit customer service is amazing. (Did you contact them about replacing yours?) And Fitbit challenges are great motivation—and fun.

Hopefully others'll chime in with opinions about the other activity trackers, like Bodymedia, Fitbug, Garmin, Microsoft, Misfit, Pacer, Polar, Striiv…

Personally, I wouldn't get one that doesn't sync with MFP. They're all listed in the Apps tab at the top of every page: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/apps

My big thing was something I would actually wear all the time. I am not big on watches or bracelets or whatever. So, the Fitbit Flex was most ideal... And I enjoy it; let's me eat more calories, lol.

If you're happy with fitbit, why change?

Just wanted to make sure. Looks like I'm going to go with the flex this time. Thanks for the input!

I love my Jawbone and only have good things to say about their customer service...however not a big fan of the fitbit I won...
