I saw a nice side-by-side comparison of the Fitbit Flex band and the Jawbone Up. I thought I would share it here for others who may be considering getting either one of them.

    Nice comparison. I did a lot of shopping and comparison reviews before deciding that the FitBit Flex was the one for me. I LOVE it!

    Thanks! That was great. I'm still shopping so this was very helpful. I still wonder if either of these is good for things like hoopdancing or weight lifting.

    These sorts of things are primarily movement trackers, rather than actual calories burnt trackers. For many activities, that would be the same thing: walking, running, etc. They don't do much for weight lifting since the calories burnt is not just about the amount of movement.
