Hey, all!

I am looking to purchase a Fitbit but I'm having a tough time deciding which one I should get!
I am looking to track all my calories that I burn while doing weightlifting and cardio workouts such as Bootcamp and HIIT classes and hiking bike riding.. Etc Thank you!!

    As a cyclist, I think bike riding is outside of Fitbit's realm. Riding a bike is just so far from what they were programmed for that I'd ignore the data completely. If you're determined to get a Fitbit anyway for some reason, you're probably better off not using it on the bike and using a phone app like Strava or a Garmin to get your bike calories, plus your speed, distance, and other stuff.

    I had a Fitbit One for years. It just wasn't useful in any way for cycling. I've looked over some of the newer ones and played with a Fitbit Flex HR, not really useful for cycling. The stairs climbed feature was kind of neat for hiking though, get a quick estimate of how much elevation I gained without having to grab the GPS.

    EDIT: I'm using a Fenix 3 (watch) which would meet all of your requirements but not cheeply. How do you currently do the intervals?

    i really think for what your looking to do, any activity tracker is going to struggle. you may be best to google specifically that activity your intending to track to see what may fit. most trackers do well in jogging and running but outside of that...they seem to miss the mark. IMO
