I have a Fitbit Force (sadly, taken off the market, but they won't get it off my wrist!) after having a Fitbit One. I find the bracelet much, much more convenient than the small clip attached to my bra, because I was always having to compromise on where it was, depending on the bra's design.

I have the Flex because I'm really bad at remembering to clip anything on, so the bracelet works the best for me. Help me realize how sedentary I was outside of my workouts, this is the best $100 I've spent, well next to my digital scale :flowerforyou:

I brought a FitBit One in October 2013, I love it............... but it does mis-count how far I have walked (but I have started using MapMyFitness as well so distances are logged by that using GPS on my phone).

Did you try adjusting the stride length in Fitbit settings? There is info on how to do that.

I have not adjusted the stride yet but I know I need to for better accuracy. I'm sure my steps & distance are off because Fitbit uses height to determine stride. I'm short-waisted & that means my legs are longer than the average person my height. I also have a longer stride & tend to walk faster w/o trying.

But, even though they are a bit off, it is all good and motivating. That is what is important to me.

I've had two FitBits. A much-loved Ultra (The old version of the One) that I eventually killed by accident and now a Zip. They're great tools and serve to give a baseline fitness level for you. Mine have been hugely helpful to me!

I do not currently have one--soon though. A friend of mine has one and absolutely loves it.
