What's the best Fit Bit?

I have the one, only had it a couple days, sync nicely with MFP, clips on your belt, barely know it's there. No cons yet, but time will tell.

i have the `one` also...and i love it...have had it between 4 to 6 weeks...i love to see how many steps i take in a day..how lazy i am on the weekends...what things i want to change...i have yet to hit 10,000 steps but i cant wait until i do. lol its so fun to see how you sleep and how many times you move around. the only con is the alarm ...the vibrate does not wake me up....and the wrist band is looks pretty wasted lol hope it helps

I love my one! I heard that the flex sometimes counts to many steps from gesticulating too much you really don't know that the one is there! Which is also a con sometimes... I lost mine before and just didn't notice. But then again, they have the best customer service ever and even replace lost ones. I like the activity tracker button as well, which I think the flex doesn't have...

Seems like I'm the only one with the entry-level (aka budget) Fitbit Zip.

I have the Zip too. I keep losing it in my apartment though. It's ok, I guess. I had the main one for a while and didn't like when they started to use it to subtract stepts for daily activity, so I stopped using it. Then I realized that it was validating that I chose an active lifestyle and only needed to log my actual extra activities. So, since I'd rather sleep with someone than something, the Zip is fine for my needs.

I had a flex for about a year but after a while I realized it was missing steps since I frequently am pushing or carrying something with both hands. Liked that I could wear it 24/7 though. I replaced it with the Zip and love it. It doesn't track stairs or sleep though so if those stats interest you, you might want to look at the One instead. Whatever model, they are great!

I have the Fitbit Flex. Then I lost it, didn't even think about calling Customer Service (they seem to be really good about replacing lost Fitbits), and bought another Flex shortly after.

Like the One, it can also be relatively easy to misplace. If the bracelet comes unsnapped and you don't immediately notice, boom gone. To combat that, I've put an o-ring where the straps overlap, that way if it becomes unsnapped, the o-ring is still holding it on my wrist. The actual tracker itself is also pretty small. Another downside is that it's not a HRM, which would have been a very nice bonus since it's already on my wrist 24/7.

However, the Flex can be worn in the water, which is more so about convenience as it can't track laps when swimming. The lights on it can also be set to represent different things and amounts (it is automatically set up at 10,000 steps/day). It also tracks sleep patterns, which I think is helpful because I found out that I'm a pretty restless sleeper and can try to accommodate for that.

If they hadn't been recalled, I would have loved to get the Force because it has a clock and can count stairs. Otherwise, I really think any of them would a be great choice. :flowerforyou:

i got the fitbit one for my birthday last month. it has a very tight clip (i also use a pedometer leash on just in case), and i wear it all the time except when showering. if you do a lot of stairs for cardio, the one is the way to go as the zip doesn't count stairs, and the one also has a vibrating alarm i thought i'd use, but i end up just using my phone alarm. then there's the sleep feature, but i don't bother with that. you might, though. and the one looks sleek and purty ;-)

I have the Fiex and love it. Mostly because it syncs with MFP and also that it's waterproof. I am really bad about misplacing things, so only removing it for charging makes it more difficult for me to lose it.

I have the flex and I love it. I actually just ordered some new bands for it to match with other outfits! I like it because I can get an idea of where I am by tapping on it and it shows me what percentage I'm at for the day. Also, it syncs with MFP and I can get all up to date info on my phone or online. I really like it a lot and I've found that because it's right on my wrist, it keeps me motivated a little bit more.

These are such great posts! I am posting so I can come back and read it later... Looking into getting a Fit Bit myself!

I have the Fitbit One and love it. I've had it since May. I feel that it motivates me to reach 10,000 steps a day which ensures I'm more active than I normally would be. I pretty much wear it 24/7 and it's clipped on my panties so I don't feel it and never forget it.

I think the only con is it is a bit sensitive to stair steps. It records just stepping up on a curve or in my truck as a stair step. I don't feel that those steps are the equivalent to stairs.

I have the ONE. Had the Zip, got tired of replacing batteries. Got the Flex, hated it interfering with my jewelry. The one has a rechargable battery and can be cliped inside a pocket or bra. Love it!:happy:

I had a Fitbit One but kept losing it as it came of my belt often, so stopped wearing it. Then I got a flex and wear it all the time it syncs with MFP easily and stays charged for days.

Only thing with wrist worn devices is I am not sure how accurate they are?

I like the fitbit one. I like that it counts flights of stairs, steps, and miles- measures sleep etc. I wanted to upgrad to the force when it was recalled. I think a bracelet form would be easier to remember and get everystep (espcially if waterproof), but from what is available currently I suggest the fitbit one.
