Does anyone have this? I'm considering giving myself one for Christmas and would love feedback!

I have one and wear it pretty much every day.

I call it a glorified pedometer. The difference is fitbit has a website that will calculate your tdee and you can get a running count of your calories burned/steps taken via the fitbit and the website (when you're in proximity of the base which is hooked up to your computer and syncs the site with the fitbit).

I love it! When I walk or do my walking dvds, the calorie burn (which is really all I care about) is pretty close to my heart rate monitor when it isn't acting all wonky.

It's also very small and very discreet.

Have you used the sleep information function? I'm really interested in that aspect.

I did once. I'm pretty sure I woke up during the night way more than it said but I also probably needed to change my sleep sensitivity to...er...sensitive.

I have one, I love it.
It has shown me I needed to get walking more. The last couple of days I've gotten in my 10k steps just in everyday activity. I have not tried it walking for exercise yet.
I like the sleep function. It shows I don't as quality sleep as I thought I did.
