    I didn't end up getting it, but researched quite a bit about the HR measurements since that's an important part of it. From what turned up, it's not very good at measuring HR during non-walking activities - even running, and even worse during something like a circuit training with weights etc. The measuring position at the wrist just doesn't seem to cut it for those, or maybe it's a mix of that and the sensor not being great.

    You can learn more in the Fitbit Users group: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/1290-fitbit-users

    I upgraded to the Fitbit Charge HR from the Flex, and I love it. You'll have to get used to wearing a wristband.

    If you're really unsure, buy it at a store near you, keep the receipt, and return it if you don't like it.

    A review by somebody outside of the "I have a (insert device here) and love it" crowd.
