Which Fitbit do you use and why?

CindaWhite

A friend suggested Fitbit. I looked it up and saw three different models. Curious to see what recommendations you have for me. Any input positive or negative will be greatly appreciated.

I love my flex as it's always with me buti haven't use the other 2, I would think it depends on how much / what you want to record?

I'm waiting for the Amiigo, on paper is way better than others tracker

I have the one, I think it's really nice. It counts floors, steps, time, sleep if you want it to. I bought mine from a lady in the classifieds for cheaper than 99 but I would still pay full price for it. The flex is waterproof to my knowledge so you could possibly take it swimming with you if you went.

Eta: The one also greets you every time you wake it from sleep mode or cheers you on, also needs to be re-charged every 5 days or so..

I love my One. I chose it over the Flex because I didn't want to have to wear a bracelet around all the time. Plus, I like the display on the One that shows you everything if you scroll through. The Flex display is just a series of lights that shows you how close or far away from your daily step goal you are. I've heard stories from some people that took it swimming...and it died. It's water resistant, not water proof. You shouldn't use it underwater. It's just probably going to be OK if you accidently drop it in the pool rather than swim around with it.

also love my One. I started with the Ultra, but part of the case chipped. Customer service was amazing, and with a copy of the receipt and a picture, I had a free replacement ( my One) in hand within a week.

I clip mine to my bra, and I only take it off for showering or charging. I love being able to know exactly HOW lazy I am on my lazy days...or that I really WAS super busy and active on the days that I am exhausted. My goal on Cardio days is to hit my 10,000 steps by the time I leave the gym at 1030am.

I have the One. I like that I can actually see my info on the device without having to sync it, and it was important to me to have something that would basically be invisible when I was wearing it so that I could wear it to work, etc., without having to feel self conscious.

I have the One ... I like that it is discreet, and I can see my numbers on the device itself. I did get the Flex for my 17-year old. He never had the One, so he doesn't mind not seeing the numbers. He likes that he just wears it all time without switching it to and from clothes. We got a One for my 14-year old, he plays basketball and they don't allow them to wear anything on their wrist.

For my folks, we really debated the Flex or One. My mom does pool workouts, so the water-resistance was a pull. We ultimately went with the One though, she just doesn't wear it in the water and logs that manually. We thought about the Flex for my dad too, but he is a hiker, and he wanted the "stairs" feedback, which you get on the One, but not the Flex ... although I think he would have preferred the wrist for wearing.

I have fitbit one. I did have a ultra but washed it by accident so customer service sent me the new one to replace it. That is why I have fitbit. The customer service is great.

Amiigo looks really good though and if I hadn't just got a brand new fitibit I'd be getting one of those. OH wanted one too but went for fitbit as he's impatient!

I also love the one. Had Tracker to start but also got it wet and they sent a new One. I like seeing the info on the device. It is hidden and out of the way. The Flex is a bracelet I think and would be in the way for any washing or work I might do. Can't see the info. When out walking I can check to see if I have met my goal of steps.

Same as these folks. I didn't want a bracelet because it's always visible and I worried about damage (paint splatter, snagging on stuff because I'm a very hands-on person). I also wear mine on my bra & only take it off to shower/charge. I wanted a screen so that I could see progress without having to look at another device. I absolutely love mine!

I have the Zip. It's the cheapest option and I like that it's small and I can hide it well. I don't care how many floors I climb and don't need to monitor my sleep cycle, so it's great for me.

I considered the Flex before I got mine, but I don't like that it doesn't have a display, just lights.

I chose the flex because I tend to wash things. Didn't want to wash an expensive tracker too.
I love the flex. The only times I take it off are to charge it and when I'm in the hot tub for a while.
I love how easily it syncs with the iphone. All my data is right there. And then it syncs with map, and with nike+.
