Ive been thinking of getting a new pedometer (I have one that doesn't connect to the internet) I like to track my distance on runs and calories. There are so many any opinions on what is best. Im leaning towards fit bit.:noway:

    I have a fitbit and love it. If you plan to sync your fitbit to MFP, you will want to wear it all day, since it estimates your calorie burn even without activity. I have the zip, which doesn't have all the neat features of the flex or One. One thing I've noticed is it takes into account things, that I wasn't before. Such as cleaning or shopping, I never added those into my exercise, but they do increase my overall calorie burn for the day by quite a bit.

    A lot of people like the flex, since its a waterproof bracelet and you don't have to take it off (except for maybe to charge it).

    Others like the One, for it's display and ability to track stairs climbed.

    Both the flex and one can track your sleep.

    Overall it comes down to what you're looking for. Fitbit devices are daily activity trackers and meant to be worn all day. (I clip mine to my bra)

    If you're looking for something to just track runs or walks, you will probably want to look into something else.
