I looked at a bunch of different ones before I bought my Up band. Its more flexible than the other bands so I found it more comfortable to wear on a daily basis. After calibrating it to my stride I found its relatively accurate to my step count. I like it tracks my sleep patterns as well. I have it synced to mfp and its nice it automatically updates my calorie deficit when it uploads the exercise. I also use it to help train for a 5k with a running app too! I'd buy it again

Depending on how into running and cycling you are I suggest its between a Garmin and a Fitbit.
Garmin - I had a vivofit which was great for tracking and now since Xmas a 920XT which does the lot. The new Fenix 3 later this year will do the lot as well as looking relatively cool on the wrist. Also a new vivo product coming that tracks runs etc as well as steps. Downside with Garmin is they are new to the whole calorie/MFP thing and their Connect interface can be very ropey.
Fitbit - by all accounts people very happy with these. The new Fitbit charge looks interesting as it has a built in HRM and can do runs etc as well as track activity.0 -
I couldn't live without my fitbit; it is only a simple one, but I can see how many calories I'm burning a day so I can make sure I eat at a decent deficit.0

I love my BodyMedia FIT and I am currently waiting for the UP3 to come out. I like accuracy.0

I got the Garmin Vivofit and i absolutely love it. Never take it off.
It's a great way to see how much i move or don't move. It's giving me a better understanding of my exercise burns. The steps part is great because i really wanted to at least get up and move more. It makes it sort of competitive with strangers so i don't feel judged. There are issues once in a while with the software but eventually it catches up.
Can't say anything about accuracy but now i am seeing things better because i don't have to wait for the scale to keep moving or not move. Compared to what i was doing before it is at least an improvement.
I got it on sale on amazon, free shipping and i used a credit card with rewards so i earned a few extra dollars off in the end.
I am content with it for now. I might upgrade to a newer version later so that i can pass this one along to another family member but there is no rush. Overall i'm thrilled with it.0 -
I don't think fitness tracker is not necessary if you are satisfied with your workout and feel improvement, but still you can purchase fitness tracker. I am the self tracker of my body fitness.0
