Alternatives to the Fitbit Force?

Hi everyone,

I had the fitbit force and LOVED it, but had to return it because I did get a rash from using it. I know they're being recalled now, and Fitbit said they're working on a better version, but there's no ETA, and to be honest, I'm a little wary now. (The rash lasted for three weeks after I took off the force, and I had to get a steroid shot to get the redness down).

I'm wondering if anyone has started digging into any alternatives. I know there are a lot of them out there now, but I can't find any that seem to be getting as good reviews as the Force was.

I know there there's the Flex and even the Jawbone, but I would like a fitness tracker that shows you your stats immediately without having to sync it with another device. I use a windows phone so... syncing can sometimes be unreliable or even impossible on the go.

I would also like a tracker that DOES go around your wrist and isn't too heavy.

Does anyone have any good recommendations for me? I'm really bummed I can no longer use my Force, but I find myself losing track of my health goals without it.

Thank you in advance!

I have a Polar Loop and I like it - it does not track stairs or sync with MFP though so if this is important to you then the Loop isn't what you want
