Two new ones will be out soon. Zip and one. Released 17 September and October. Not sure about UK though.
Google it. Can't believe it, spent months deciding to buy. Now I have, they bring out a newcomer almost immediately!!!The zip can be bluetoothed to some phones and has a vibrating alarm to wake you gently. The Inevis cheaper and doesn't do stais or sleep but also bluetooths.

    That's technology for you. ;-) As soon as you buy something the next model comes out. I would - actually I will ignore the next model and keep using the one I have.

    Someone mentioned it on fitbit forum so I thought I'd pass it on.

    Technology updates are a pain in the *kitten*. Now I feel like I'm going to need to update my Fitbit and my iPhone 4 to a 4s or 5 so they will work together :laugh:

    You could probably cancel it if you wanted to wait a month.

    I know but I've been waiting to buy it for forever, or so it seems, so I am just going to see how I like this one and I might try the other ones if I like this one enough. :smile:

    the main thing about the zip is it uses a watch battery that lasts 4-6 months and cannot be recharged like the ultra, but it is waterproof which is definitely nice

    I'm upset, but the Fitbit One looks so/is much better.
    I just got the Ultra a little less than a month ago.

    I'm not seeing a functional difference between One and Ultra. Anyone see it??

    other than it syncing with a smartphone via Bluetooth and waterproof, I don't really see a difference

    The one will sync via blue tooth to the Apple Ipone 4s but not droid. The one is water resistent not water proof.

    Us droid users are out of luck right now for the blue tooth sync.

    Water resistant - you can sweat on it a little but not take it swimming....

    Love my Ultra (it's my second one. FitBit Replaced Fitty 1, who fell into a porcelain pool and died). the One looks good for running in the rain but I just putting Fitty Deux in a ziplock and a pocket. If they ever come out with full waterproof, I'm in. (And need to buy a leash for this one because it's just a matter of time until I kill it otherwise)
