When you notice your Fitbit has a low battery whilst on a field trip at an amusement park with 300 6th and 7th graders!

    A few weeks ago I put my Fitbit on the charger while I slept like I always do, about every four days. It fell off and didn't charge at all. I think it lasted me about seven hours before it died, but the good thing was it still counted all my steps. I just didn't get the buzz when I hit my goal!

    The horror!!!

    Seriously, I am so addicted to mine. I will go for an extra walk around the block to hit my goal.

    Mine actually made it through the whole field trip. I switched to tracking steps with my phone, just in case, but switched back when my Fitbit hit 10,000 steps. My phone is what ended up dying. :'(

    I can't imaging being that attached to my tracker and if I do get that way I hope there is Tracker Disorder Support Group! LOL

    I charge mine while I shower. That way it never gets below half.

    I charge mine while I'm planted to my desk for a while. Or reading chair. Had a moment of panic Friday night when I realized it was about to die and I had to leave it on the charger while I slept. I was running a 5K the next morning and had to make the sacrifice. Good thing the race got me up at 5AM :smiley:

    I charge mine once a week. Have a Fitbit One -- the same one I've had for a couple of years now. A single charge lasts longer than a week, but I find I am less likely to have problems if I stick to a routine. I get messed up if I don't have that time on Friday afternoon/evening to charge it.

    That's what I do! I don't want to miss out on tracking my sleep, LOL.

    My Alta only lasts 5 days. :( So did my Flex before that.

    My charge HR only lasts about 3 days. I charge it while I'm sitting at work, first thing in the morning.

    What gets me is the new hourly 250+ steps. Man I get ticked off when I miss an hour - lol

    A friend of mine gave me the great idea of charging it in the car. You are sitting down already and we are usually in our cars longer than the shower.
