I just got a Fitbit Charge HR Heart Rate + Activity Wristband today for my Birthday. Does anyone have one do you like it? I have a Flex and I love that.

    I love my Flex. I ordered a plum Charge HR from Fitbit on Jan. 6. They say it won't ship 'til the end of March.

    My wife and I have had ours for 3 weeks.... Cant imagine not having it! No problems so far that I can tell. This is my first fitbit and my wife used to have a flex. She likes the Charge HR much more than the flex!

    I love my Charge HR. I've been wearing it for a few weeks and haven't had any trouble. It syncs perfectly with MFP, logs my sleep and is a breeze to wear!

    Just got mine 3 days ago. This is my first tracking device. I love it so far. I think it will give me motivation to get more steps in a day!

    I previously used a polar ft4 which i loved but am hoping my new charge hr supercedes it!

    I had Flex before my Charge HR. I prefer the Charge HR but did love the Flex for water sports and it's sleeker looking. Fitbit claims it will "soon" enable multiple devices for one account, so we can seamlessly switch Fitbits depending on our activities or fashion needs.

    I flat out love mine. I got the Charge for Christmas and traded up a couple weeks later to the HR. Much more accurate on calories burned because it takes into account heart rate. It's motivated me have more "active" minutes. Perfect companion for MFP.

    I got one as a late Valentine's present from my hubby (I asked for it!) On Tuesday. I am loving it so far. My last tracker was the Body Media Fit. This Charger HR is so much more comfortable.

    Just got one today from my hubby as a couple of week early birthday gift. I am super excited, as I have been chatting wit multiple co-workers who have it. Super happy I can synch to myfitnesspal and my phone. I went with the HR because of the watch type fitting. Charging it now and cannot wait to start using it!

    Charge HR is a great tool for your fitness goals. I began using the HR pre-release and I find it functional and relatively accurate. Works perfect while engaged in cardio activities, downside is weight lifting. If you move ur wrist around it fails to maintain your Heart rate accurately. Overall the charge hr will give a great idea of your daily fitness and the weekly reports it sends is the perfect report card! Enjoy!

    I love mine. Only downside is I only get 3-4 days charge out of my HR even after following all the save battery ideas. But it's brill. It has really motivated me with my weight loss and fitness!

    I love my Charge HR. It challenges me to stay active and work to increase my steps each day. I'm also using the sleep function to make sure I'm sleeping well. It's awesome!

    I moved from the One to the Charge HR. I love it. I used to walk at a gentle pace, now know when I need to move faster to get the Cardio Burn.

    I had the zip for a while and loved it. Got my charge HR a few days ago and can't believe I functioned without it! No issues. Aside from the obvious monitoring awesomeness, I love the silent alarm.

    Had mine for over a month. I had been using a HR monitor with bluetooth so had to have my phone with me all the time to get the feedback. Wearing this on my wrist is sooo much more handy. I love the weekly report, it makes me look at my results not just a guesstimate of what I am doing. Plus you can connect with other sites like Walgreens to earn points for doing your steps. Love that bonus feature. My battery lasts about 3.5 days, so I just put it on the charger overnight, as I am not over concerned about my sleep patterns, I already gathered enough data to see I am ok in that department. I can't image continuing my weight loss journey without this device!

    When you set up your Fitbit, it has to guesstimate your burn since midnight. So your first day's burn is always a mess. My adjustments were wonky at first but they got better—almost as if MFP was "learning" my routine.

    Your Fitbit burn is your TDEE (total daily energy expenditure), aka your maintenance calories. If (and only if) you enable negative calorie adjustments http://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/diary_settings then eating back your adjustments means you're eating TDEE minus your deficit.

    Hello I have had my Charge HR for almost a month now and really like it. I think it would be fun to have some friends on Fitbit. So feel free to add me. Thanks

    I love the Charge HR. Switched over from the Force to the Charge HR in February. It was interesting to see the change in my resting heart rate while using the device bi think there may be issues with the heart rate on the high end. (My strapped heart monitor gives different results while I'm running), but I'm pleased with all the same.

    Love my Charge HR... had a moment this morning I nearly ran out of battery, so refused to move from my desk seat until it was charged and back on! Don't like to waste those steps!!!

    My Charge HR arrived yesterday. I love that you don't have to put it into & out of sleep mode—it just knows when you are sleeping. It knows when you're awake!

    Hi All, Hubby and I just got our charge hr 3/27, and it us motivated us to love so much more. I even catch him dancing and moving in place around the house to get more steps than me. We have a little friendly competition going on now. We totally love it so far. I'm new to fitness trackers and would like some friends to keep up the motivation with some challenges, so feel free to add me as a friend.
