Hi everyone, Hopefully I'm posting in the right section but if not please let me know.

I'm looking for a tracker that will accurately show calories burnt from resistance training. Fitbit Flex Wireless Activity Sleep Band has some good reviews but I wasn't able to find any info on if it's accurate when counting calories while working out only accurate when performing basic daily activities (breathing, walking to your car, etc.).

Has anybody had experience (positive or negative) with the Fitbit Flex Wireless Activity Sleep Band? Specifically experience with the accuracy of caloric burn? Would you recommend?

Also, I'd love to hear about any other affordable (less than $200) trackers that I can wear all day (no straps or huge watches that dwarf my wrist) and will report a pretty accurate caloric burn.

    The Flex will not estimate resistance training calories well, nor will any tracker. They can still be very enlightening and motivating, though.
