I had a clip on fitbit last year it worked great until the holder broke and then I had to put it in my pocket. Forgot to get it out and washed the pants. It was history. I loved the reports that it gave and it was pretty accurate. Thought I would get another one so went to Target and bought the wrist band one. I just synced the thing and started wearing it. Not to happy with it. the wrist bad is really hard to close and it does not show you the steps you have taken. I paid 99.00 plus tax for it. I think I will take it back and get the clip on for 59.00.

I am on day 3 of my fitbit flex. Love it so far. I am already addicted to my smartphone (Galaxy Note 3) so it's great to be doing this instead of a game or shopping! I had 3 clip on fitbits that were washed or lost so this is the solution for me. it looks fine in a professional environment and it's waterproof! That's huge because I am a paddler.

I have a ZIP and love it.

I have been using Fitbit One for 2 months. I am amazed at how it has helped get me more active. I wore it for a couple of days just to see what I was normally doing. I am retired and have downsized my home. I was averaging about 2000 steps a day. Two months later I am not happy unless I hit 10K and this past Sunday I hit 20K.
I also like the silent alarm feature and the sleep monitoring feature.

I've been using a FitBit for over a year. Wore out an Ultra and now have a One. I'm not enough of an exhibitionist to want to wear my pedometer on my wrist... and with the new recall of the Flex I'm happy I went with the One. It has been great to encourage movement.

I bought my first Fitbit after tearing my meniscus which forced me to stop jogging and prevented even much walking for most of 8 months. I now have several friends locally and on Fitbit. There is good competition to be the one with the most steps per week. It gets me on the treadmill at times I definitely would have opted for the couch.

Also, I really like the sleep tracking. Imperfect as it is, I still find it realistically represents good and bad nights if not actual sleep. I used this a year ago to make a case to my Dr that we had to find a way to get me to sleep better. Menopause and hormone fluctuations make sleeping a real challenge sometimes and having the evidence (as printed out sleep graphs) was helpful in getting HRT in order to reliably get sleep. To back that up, I had a few graphs from nights I put it on my husband. Me: waking 20+ times per night. Him: waking 0 - 2 times per night.

Note that I do not find that the calorie burn estimates are remotely correct for me. I don't pay any attention to those numbers!

I got one as a Christmas gift. Mine is the fit bit flex. I do love that it vibrates when I reach my 10,000 steps. I also like the silent alarm feature too. It's a fun gadget but I don't find it motivating or super useful. Since I received it as a gift I like it, but had I paid for it I may feel disappointed.
