    Phyllis,

    I had (operative word, had) a Fitbit One, which is the little pocket/beltclip version up until June 1st. "Had", because while the device was fantastic, the soft-rubber clip that held it would randomly simply "let go" of the Fitbit, leaving it to fall out/off, hit the floor and promptly become hard to find. Finally, on 6/1 (according to my last sync), it fell off/out one last time and I've never found it since.

    Is a Fitbit worth it? My opinion is, yes, because it reminds you to get off your tuckus and get active. If you do the online thing (and it looks like you do 'cause you're here), it shows you more data about what you do every day which can help motivate you to be more active.

    My problem wasn't with the device at all, but I called Fitbit themselves and they don't ever intend to fix the soft rubber case problem, there's no "Etsy-style" (homemade) solution, and they also say there's no way to find it once lost (like you can with a smartphone these days)...

    Coincidentally, I had just now made my mind that today, I'm going down to BestBuy to pick up a new Fitbit Flex (the bracelet model).

    I'm choosing the Fitbit Flex over the Jawbone Up because the Up doesn't sync wirelessly, and I'm choosing the Flex over the Nike Fuelband solely on price ($99 versus $149)

    The Fitbit Flex has fewer features than the Fitbit One (no display, doesn't track flights of stairs walked), but if I don't lose it, that makes up for it, right? Of course, this means that I will immediately find my Fitbit One about the time that the return policy runs out :)
