I want to buy a fitbit device, need some advise as to how suitable this product will be. An wether it will meet my needs. I play football at semi pro level and want data when i train and when i play matches. Is there anybody else use fitbit for these purposes that can give me some feedback on how good product is and also which device would be most suitable?? Thank you in advance lol

    exactly what data are you after?

    The newer models track HR so they might work well for you. I have a fitbit one and can tell you that it does not track step based activity that well that are not at a consistent pace and direction, so it makes me think if you are playing football and having to change directions alot it may not be that great at tracking you.

    If you just want calories burned I think a chest strap HRM would be your best bet.
