Do people prefer FitBit One over flex or force?

    Fitbit recalled the Force. It causes skin irritation.

    I have two activity trackers: Fitbit Flex & Jawbone UP24. Activity trackers show your TDEE—way more accurately than any online calculator. And they inspire me to move more. If I get home & see I'm thisclose to goal, I'll walk around the block. Every little bit adds up.

    Do you prefer the Fitbit Flex or Jawbone UP24? I'm looking at getting an activity tracker and am torn between those two!

    If I had to choose, I'd pick the UP24. The app is way better—it gives you guided challenges, like go to bed at x o'clock, or drink 8 glasses of water today. It has a customizable idle alert. Mine buzzes between 9 a.m. & 7 p.m. if I sit still for an hour.

    UP & Fitbit both sync with MFP, but Fitbit has more partner apps. I bought the Flex for an employee fitness program at work—just so I could participate without having to log my steps & active minutes every day.

    And Fitbit makes non-band activity trackers that clip to your clothing. Some people can't wear an UP or Flex at work.

    Edited to add that the Fitbit Zip is only $60. The money is a deal breaker for some people.

    Wondering what to buy myself. My daughter uses the FitBit One and loves it. Leaning to that one based on her comments.
