    I have a Fitbit One. Got it on Amazon for around $100. I like that it is small and I can clip it to my pocket. I have a friend who has a Flex. Personally I don't want something on my wrist. They sync well to MFP. Those are the two that I have had experience with. I find them very motivating.

    They're all good—it's entirely a matter of personal preference. Some people can't wear a Flex or the new Charge, Charge HR & Surge at work. I'm afraid of forgetting to wear a One or Zip—or even putting it in the washing machine.

    The latter two clip to your bra or slip in a pocket—very discrete.

    If you push a stroller or shopping cart alot, or carry a baby frequently, i would suggest the One instead of the Flex. I have the flex and it doesn't accurately log my steps when I'm pushing or carrying my babies. Still a great motivator to move more though.

    I have the flex and I love it. It helps to motivate.

    After reading a lot about them, I decided on the fitbit charge. I would have gotten the charge with the HR (heart rate) monitor, but they're not out yet ....

    I have the flex and love it so much thinking about getting the charge when it's out.

    I have the one -- I want to love the Charge/Charge HR but I don't think I can do the bracelet daily.

    Love my one -- Love that I can tuck it away and forget it....never lost or washed it either :smile:

    I originally got the flex, then 'downgraded' to the zip and prefer it

    I like to wear it on my waistband or in my bra so that I can wear bracelets and I have no use for sleep tracking, I like the long battery that doesn't need recharging every few days

    I prefer the easy numerical readout

    I also use a polar HRM during workouts
