    All the reviews I read say the Fitbit Charge HR is the best.

    I prefer my jawbone over my fitbit but that it a personal preference.

    I find Jawbone more accurate with steps and fitbit stingy with "active minutes"...I shoved for at least an hour this winter one day and fitbit gave me 6 active mins...Jawbone gave me decent results...I know those weren't totally on either but at least it was 2x fitbit.

    I have a fitbit flex and really like it. I feel that it's accurate and I like that you can challenges with your friends on the app. Also, you can change the colour of the bands which I really like :)

    After reading loads of reviews, I went for the Fitbit Charge HR. Firstly, the strap is good - it is comfortable to wear and wont fall off (something important to me). Also, the HR facility is great - very useful! Price wise, the Fitbit Flex and Fitbit Charge have come down a lot in price to around the £60 mark, but in my oppinion it is worth paying the extra for the Fitbit Charge HR - I paid £119 for mine. Oh, and if you're going to wear it instead of a watch you will need one that displays the time :) Hope that helps!

    I love the charge HR - i dont use it as a watch though as i noticed the battery drain with using the display. I've actually now got to the point where i can wear both a watch on one and fitbit on the other wrist, i dont mind that.

    sync with iphone is very easy and barely noticeable on the phones battery life. The silent alarm feature i love although the first time i nearly had a heart attack as i thought someone grabbed my wrist!

    I was actually wondering the same thing. Are both for wearing constantly or just during exercise? I am looking for something that is for all-day use but is accurate for workouts, although I wouldn't mind getting a chest strap to put on during workouts if it connects with the watch and is more accurate. Is there a watch out there that is accurate for both or is it really one or the other?

    if You choose the HR variant, then yes, it can help track strength training too due to obvious HR spikes during stationary workouts
