Hi does anyone use Fitbit?

I'd like to but the reports on steps counting is bad? Maybe you know better?

mine works fine, i've watched it count my steps its pretty accurate, accurate enough for me.

I got mine a few years ago (a Flex) and I remember the emphasis at the time was on that Fitbit was an activity tracker, not a pedometer. So, sometimes you got more "steps" to account for other activity it picked up. And you could always override the default data to track specific activities. So, that's how I have always used it. The steps are accurate when I pace them out just walking, but I don't worry about it not getting every step or adding a few. I just like having something that keeps track of generally how active I'm being and is there on my wrist, mocking me when I sit on the couch and judging me when I eat too much pizza.

I like mine and I like the Flex because you can get lots of accessories to switch up the look of you want. And it's thinner than the newer ones, which I like. YMMV.

I bought my first Fitbit charge hr last year. It worked great! Until my kitten chewed a hole in the heart rate sensor! I just bought a new one. It keeps me motivated and aware of how much more I need to walk or calories I need to burn to reach my goals. Highly recommend the charge Hr!

My Flex does a great job of tracking steps. I can pull the Fitbit app up on my phone, start walking and watch it track them although it may take it a moment to kick in but when it does it adjusts itself quickly. I carry the brain in my pants pocket instead of on my wrist except when I ride my bike because it counts pedaling as steps.
