Anyone get the new fitbit yet?

Livingdeadnurse

I just purchased the fitbit flex today. Can't wait to try it out tomorrow. Anyone using this? What do you like or don't like about it? How accurate does it seem to be? Dominate hand or not.

Very comfortable to wear. I don't really notice that I am wearing it. I like that it has a large and small band included

Where you get it? I thought it didn't come out until May 13th?

Livingdeadnurse

Those that preordered dont get it till then. They had a early release for best buy.

Reads steps , distance, and calories burned. Only thing I can figure out is do I out my exercises in?

Also measures your sleep patterns. It's water proof. You can shower and swim with it. No diving.

Livingdeadnurse

I don't know. I have the Flex on now, but am seriously considering taking it back for a FitBit One. I miss the stairs and the display already from my old Ultra.

From what I read on Fitbit/MFP websites, when you integrate the two accounts together, you just need to put in a start time for your exercise and how long you did said exercise and then it takes care of the rest.

I for one just got the Fitbit One and I'm loving just going about my day and having the extra calorie boost

Found the answer here before reading your post.


Here is what it said which is pretty much what you found

MyFitnessPal Help

Will my exercise calories be counted twice now that I'm using Fitbit and MyFitnessPal?

By entering the time you begin your cardio exercise, the calories burned, and the number of minutes you exercised, MyFitnessPal and fitbit.com can correctly reconcile your cardio exercise with the increased activity recorded by your Fitbit during that period of time. Without the start time and the minutes exercised, it is likely that your increased activity level would be accounted for twice: once when you log it on MyFitnessPal, and once when your Fitbit reports increased activity. Entering the start time ensures that your Net Calorie Goal is not adjusted twice for the same cardio workout. The exercise calories you log with MyFitnessPal will replace the calorie data estimated by your Fitbit for that period of time
