Help I can't decide! Fitbit flex or Fitbit force?

    Force, cause stairs. You may scoff and say you don't do stairs for a workout. I don't do stairs either and yet...26 flights today. That's kinda cool and worth being aware of, to me.
  • So, I have been using the Flex for around five months now. I like the fact that I can change the bands out. I also wear a wristwatch, so the Force's display is a little redundant for me.

    But what the others have said about the Flex picking up hand movement is true. I type very fast on my laptop, so I usually take my Fitbit off when I sit down to write massive emails and the like haha.

    I chose the Flex because I'm a paddler, and I live in the rainy Northwest, so it has to be waterproof.
    I would have liked the watch and altitude options, but waterproof was a deal breaker.

    I've had it for about a month and love it so far, but agree that it's not super accurate. Still, it certainly shows the difference between a sedentary and an active day.

    I'm looking forward to the jewelry options coming up.
