I was fairly happy with my Charge HR, other than it didn't record my steps while pushing a grocery cart or mowing with a push mower. Anyone have suggestions or comments on what brand/model they like/dislike?? I need something that records my sleep....or lack thereof...
Thanks!

    Nothing on your wrist will track properly pushing something. A Fitbit one clip would work if it's got the features you want - it does track sleep.

    My fitbit goes to sleep while mowing the lawn or pushing wobbly carts. I still like it though. I just went to the charge hr today to get the rest of the data I was missing on my daily charts. I feel as though it helps me stay motivated to move.

    I love my Fitbit One. Have been using it since the end of 2013 and it still lasts more than a week on a single charge. Doesn't do heart rate, and you have to manually start the sleep tracker, but it's been great for me. (The silicone clips kind of suck, though. I'm on about my 5th one.)

    Have you tried contacting Fitbit support? They might replace it for you.

    You should definitely contact Fitbit support. I had an issue with mine not holding a charge for more than a day and they sent me a new one.

    If I was pushing something, like a grocery cart, I just put my Charge HR in my pocket so I still get the steps.

    I am enjoying my Blaze. The sleep tracking was much improved over the Force. HR is nice but the music control doesn't seem to work. I wanted that to skip annoying songs when running because I can never remember what button on my bluetooth does that on the fly.

    Blaze! My charge hr but the dust not even a month in of having it. I'm so happy it did and I upgraded to the blaze!

    I really like my Blaze. I like the sleep tracking as well as how it tracks my various workouts. I have never owned another wearable, so I cannot compare them. I don't think it would count steps pushing a mower or grocery cart (but I'm not too step centric). My only real complaint is the HR monitor seems to be somewhat occasionally when doing intervals for cardio, but it is only temporary.

    I love my Fitbit One. I actually sold my Charge HR for a One. I like that it can be hidden and I don't care about tracking my heart rate.
