Your experience with a Fitbit?

I got the fitbit flex for my birthday and started using it at the start of July. I LOVE it. I use the sleep tracker too. It's interesting what you learn from it. I don't even notice the flex on my wrist. The battery keeps going for days which is nice. It's really good to use for knowing how far you've walked in a day too. Otherwise I wouldn't have a clue. I think the price is definitely worth it. Go for it! You deserved it.0

I've had other fitbits, but I have the Flex, which I love the most. I love it because I can wear it in the shower. I don't have to worry about forgetting to put it back on because it's always on. I love it. I think it's amazing. The only thing I've had a problems with is that after a while my wrist bands tend to break. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, or if they make them that way to get more money? Anyway, I would would recommend.
That happened to me and they replaced my band for free.0 -
I swallowed mine once to see how many steps I take between dumps. Thing still runs like a champ. My wrist smells funny though. Anyways, hope this helps.
That's funny. I did that once too to see how many steps before it was returned to me. Had Mexican food after swallowing the FitBit and ... 8 very fast steps later I had it in hand!0 -
Congrats! I have the Fitbit Plus....I love it and use it every day except at bed time. It also syncs to this webpage to make everything seamless.0

I was considering buying the flex too but I ended up buying the One since I do a lot of work with my hands, I didn't want to screw up the total step results. Love my fitbit! It's nice to see average calorie burned daily and it helps keep me motivated.0

I have a Fitbit Force which you can no longer get, but... I still have opinions! :-)
Pros:
~ it tells me how horribly I sleep
~ it tells me the time (so I don't look quite as silly as I do right now, wearing both a watch on one arm and the Fitbit on the other)
~ it continues to freak me out when I hit goal steps - the thing vibrates!
~ it talks to my mobile, which will send me little motivational messages about how many more steps I need to make goal, or, on those rare days, when I'm super ambitious and go over goal!
~ works well with MFP
Cons:
~ it tells me how horribly I sleep
~ the band - I've only had it fall off me once, at home thankfully, but it's the one thing I don't like about it - it's not a sturdy strap.
I don't wear it in the shower, I'm not walking in there that much, and I do feel that I need to give my wrist a bit of a breather now and then. But for the most part, I'm pretty loyal to wearing it all the time for both sleep and step tracking.
And... thanks for being awesome. I applaud you on your 115 days of being self-harm free. May you have many, many, many more "free" days.0 -
Congrats on recovery!!! :flowerforyou:
I have both the Fitbit Force (they no longer sell it but I didn't return mine during the recall and still use it with no problems) and a Fitbit One (for those days I want to wear a regular watch but still track). Both products perform very well!!! Linked with MFP and other Fitbit Friends, it has been a great motivator in staying active and healthy! Very happy with bothI'm recovering from Self Harm and I'm thinking of rewarding myself for being 115 days clean in a little over 2 weeks by buying a Fitbit Flex wristband. What have your experiences with Fitbit products been? If I should be considering some other similar product, what would you recommend?0
