Which one is the better choice to get?

If you do a search on the forums you will find lots of information on these and other trackers. Have you discounted all the others.

Depends on your goals. I have had both. Here is a summary for you.

Flex .... Pros: accurate step counting, waterproof, great syncing with devices. Cons: lights are a drag as it needs a real display, bad strap, hard to get into sleep mode at times.

Nike: Pros: Nike just reduced the price by 50$, very cool, great great app, great band .. not prone to loss like the Fitbit. Cons: Not for dieters / steppers / calorie counters .. if that is you go with a Fitbit. It gives about 60% less steps than a Fitbit and only counts exercise calories not BMR + exercise like a Fibit. Did I say it is really cool. NIke has great trophies .. other motivational items, better than the Fitbit here.

The friends part of both could be very much improved ... Nike is particularly bad here as I don't think you can really interact with your friends.

But .. the Fitness tracker market is likely to change greatly soon as Fitbit and Apple are to come out with new models soon.
