Considering buying a Fitbit. Help?

I previously had a fitbit ultra, which is similar to the One, and I absolutely loved it!! It was VERY accurate! I now have a Flex and I find that it's not nearly as accurate as the Ultra was. I don't know if it's because it's on my wrist so it doesn't sense the steps as well as when I wore the Ultra on my waist or what. I do love how I can keep it on 24/7 (except for when it needs to be charged) even in the shower. In my opinion, I would go with the One. Just for the accuracy and the fact that you can see your stats from the device and don't have to sync it with your phone to know how many steps you've taken, etc. Good luck!

There isn't really a one size fits all answer to this one.

I personally went with the FitBit One. I wear it in my pants pocket so it's with me all the time. I really don't use the screen on it though as I sync it with my phone and use that display instead.

I did specifically want the feature that counts floors because I do quite a lot of walking up and down stairs. The sleep function works, but it turns out I actually sleep very well and very consistently so it's not really giving me much useful information.

I have a Zip and I love it. I had bought a One right after Christmas and used it for three months until I knocked it out of my pocket while I was out and lost it. In the debate between buying a new One or going back to my Zip (the Flex is not an option for me as I'm using my hands so much at work it would more than likely throw the count way off), I realized the extras that come with the One weren't really necessary, so I just went back to my Zip.

I have a Fitbit Flex and I love it! It doesn't get in my way and is a visible reminder to move more. I never considered the others because I'm not going to clip something to my bra (I don't want to to start a discussion, but I have pre-cancerous growths in my breast and, because of all the reports linking cell phones stored in bras to breast cancer, I'm not putting anything in my bra but my boobs) and I don't have pockets in most of my work clothes. That being said, sometimes I'd really like to have the option of counting stairs because I like to run the stairs at work for cardio. I, too, miss out on steps when I'm shopping, but those aren't very vigorous steps anyway and I've also learned to push the cart one-handed to pick up at least part of them! :bigsmile: Enjoy whichever you choose!

I am glad to be reading all of these reviews on the different fitbits, though I am still not too sure which one I would eventually pick. I have used the body media and I liked it ok, it just started making my arm hurt when I wore it and it was loose too, I'm thinking electrical but who knows, the only think I hated about it was it didn't count my steps if my arms weren't moving and looked like I wasn't even wearing it. My son had a dr appt and we were there almost 2 hours and for half of that time I was holding him walking back and forth in the hallway and when i checked that night to see what my steps and calorie burn was for the day it didn't even count it, looked as though I took it off, I was ticked cause walking around with a 30lb little boy for an hour was good exercise lol.
