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.0

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.0 -
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.0

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!!!0

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!0

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.0

So does everyone use the negative adjustments on MFP for your Fitbit or do you not allow it as it means you would be eating back your exercise calories?0

As editorgrrl and heybales have both mentioned in the threads here.

Nice to know they're starting to ship the plum. I got a black one, because I washed my One and couldn't wait, but I also ordered a plum and when it gets here, my son gets my black one (at a discounted price) and I get the plum.0 -

As of last week, you can have and use both! I got my Charge HR in January when I thought I lost my Flex. I subsequently found the Flex. Now they are both linked to my Fitbit account. If I'm doing something splashy or want a sleeker look I wear the Flex, but prefer the Charge HR most of the time. When I'm charging one I wear the other. I don't have to do anything to the app. It's just like changing bracelets.0 -
I don't really need two Charge HRs, and my son really does want one. Fortunately, we have compatible wrist sizes. However, if the friend I gave my One to (it came back to life 10 days after I washed it) decides it isn't something she wants to use, I'll get it back and use it at times.0
