Fitbit Activity Wristbands

I had the Flex for about a year before I upgraded to the Charge. The Flex was good but I like the charge more. The battery life on the charge appears to be much better. I like the display also. You can still challenge your friends- my friend has the flex and we challenge each other all the time

Thanks for posting OP. I was wondering how people were liking (or not) the Charge and Charge HR. I have the Fitbit Ultra and it is 4+ years old and I will be needing to replace it soon. Thanks for the replies Troutsy and CharleneMarie723.

I had the flex for a few years and just got the charge this year and love it a lot more, the main reason is it shows so much, like the time! considering I don't wear a watch and band together, this does it. I like that it shows me info without having to sync to my phone all the time, like steps taken, calories burned, ect. I also like that the sleep mode is automatic and very accuarte and I like the battery life on this better, the way it is charged is easier and this feels a lot more secure then my flex which I lost numerous times because it would come off so easily. The only thing i dont like or agree with is calories burnt, so I worked out for 45 min today and besides to been at work (sit down job), its says I have burned over 1300 calories and on myfitnesspal given me back 333 calories to eat, which I try not to but I wonder if I did eat them back like fitnesspal says I should because otherwise it says I eat to less, if I would start seeing a weight gain verses weight loss?

I have the Flex now...I actually downgraded from the recalled Force. I love love loved the Force, till it gave me a rash which is why they recalled it. The Charge looks to be almost exactly the same as the Force was, minus rash issues as far as I know. Comparing the two, I still like my flex but I found the added benefits of the model up to be well worth it. The flex does not really display anything to me, so if I'm not syncing to my phone or my computer I don't have much idea of what I've done for the day. It also doesn't log stairs. The sleep mode turns on all the time on and off anytime I do something like chop nuts or use a hammer. Ulitmately I was more motivated by my Force than I have been by the Flex. The only real advantage I've found to the Flex (besides the cost I suppose) is that my battery lasts longer...the reason for that is I'm not pushing a button to see all my stats all the time throughout the day like I did with the Force...but, as I've said...I really liked all that info at the touch of a literal button. Hoping for a Charge for my birthday.

I would actually like to help you but am having trouble with your question. Maybe you could be a little more specific and hopefully you will get some responses

I have the fitbit one and I love it
