    I have the Charge, I like it, but I'm going to get the Blaze when it comes out in March, as it has more smartwatch features that I want. It all comes down to what measurements you want from your fitbit. Do you want HR?

    I love my fitbit HR. If you are a Costco member you can get a good deal. I use my to monitor steps and sleep.

    I'm not sure what HR is. I'm so totally new to this. I have never kept track of my steps or work out b4.. But, I'm very excited to learn.

    I had a couple of the early FitBit's but they were never accurate -- I'm thinking of buying the Garmin Vivoactive instead.

    I have a Fitbit Zip and I love it. It isn't fancy and it does what I need it to do..which is steps taken, calories burned, distance travelled and it even tells me the time.
    The term HR that you have seen relates to 'Heart Rate' as some of the models have a heart rate monitor built in.

    Depends what you are looking for. do you want a watch on it? do you want it tell you how many steps or do you not care until you check it later?

    Everyones needs are sooo different. Hard to ask which one is best.

    The best one is always the one that has all the neat innovations.. if it is best FOR YOU is a different story.

    I say go in and check them all out. put them on and see what you need. make a list of what you want out of it.

    You may want the big fancy one, get there, and you hate how it feels on you lol

    I have a simple charged without the heart rate .. Love it.. perfect for me.

    It's suppose to monitor your heart rate. I have the regular Fibit flex, But I really love this one.

    Thanks for the advice, I really want a Charge HR but maybe I'll wait for the Blaze to come out first since I'm hoping the price will go down!

    @majigurl ., I'm not sure exactly what I want to get out of a fit bit.. I want to track myself better, to figure out what I've been doing wrong all these years., maybe I'm not moving enuf... Sleeping enuf.. Definitely not eating enuf., I would love to know what my heart rate is while in doing my Zumba class. And other exercises., etc..

    If you want to know your heart rate then you'll need the charge HR, the surge or their new one coming out. The others don't track heart rate. I have the charge (no HR) and it keeps track of sleep, steps, stairs, and has caller ID.
