who's got a fitbit??

All the models are great in my opinion and the customer service is awesome. Just pick the one that will suit your lifestyle best:



***There is some debate about the ability to swim with a surge. It is rated 5 ATM, but Fitbit says not to swim with it. However, Fitbit also mentions not wanting people to wear it 24/7 since it can cause a rash under the band. I have actually gone swimming with mine and it's fine.***

I started with a Fitbit Zip and upgraded to a Flex after about 10 months. I had a Flex for 11 months and switched to Garmin VivoFit. I ditched the VivoFit after only 53 days (I really hated Garmin Connect) and got the Fitbit Surge.

Oh and I think the Zip is absolutely adorable with it's smiley face. It sticks it's tongue out at you if you haven't been very active.

As for place to buy them, just look around. Amazon usually has them cheaper than Fitbit.com. You can also check Ebay, but be careful with some Fitbit Models, Fitbit doesn't ask for defective ones back when sending replacements** and I wouldn't put it past someone to sell a defective Fitbit as "Used but works". ** I know this because I had a defective Flex, they sent me a new one and asked that I take the defective model to anywhere that does electronics recycling.

edit: Oh and my husband has the One. So the only models I haven't actually had experience with is the Charge and ChargeHR. However, from my experience with the rest I'd have to say that they should be just as amazing.

Getting a fitbit has been the best thing I could have done! !
It has got me off my butt big time!
I've got the zip as I'm only interested in mileage, steps and calories burned. It does all 3 perfectly.

I started with a flex and recently upgraded to the ChargeHR, best decision ever, I love it

I've been wearing the Fitbit One for over 2 years and absolutely love it.

I personally don't like the idea of the other ones that you wear on your wrist, I like that this one clips on my bra and no one can see it. With the exception of a 1 week span last year when I travelled out of the country and forgot it at home, I've worn it just about every day (I'm now approaching 12 000 000 steps since I got it!)

I love my fitbit surge!! It does everything! My favorite feature: I can see how many calories I've burned weight lifting and using the elliptical, and pretty much any other activity I do. I can see when people are calling/texting my phone and can actually read the texts. It is pretty expensive but if you want something really thorough it is so worth it!! It is truly invaluable.

I just bought the Fitbit Charge. I love it. I originally bought the Charge HR, but didn't like the feel of it on my wrist. I only use it for the steps and I like the fact I can see them on the display.
