Hey all,
what is your experience with fitness trackers and do you find it useful? I am considering buying one - possibly jawbone, and i need some advice, recommendations and reviews on how it has helped you achieve your goals.
Thanks for your input guys, and much appreciated! :)

    i had the fitbit flex for almost two years and I've now had the jawbone up 3 for coming up on one year. I loved the step and sleep tracking on fitbit but hated the food tracking on the app. I feel about the opposite about my jawbone. I like that jawbone does heart rate which my flex didn't but other fitbits do. I liked having the option to change out my band with fitbit, when it became discoloured or tore or didn't match what i was wearing. my jawbone is much more attractive but the band has begun to tear and when it breaks it will render the whole thing in need of replacement.
    As far as usefulness- I love having the tracker. When it charges i get mopey and don't do much because i don't want to "waste" my steps (probably not a good habit, but for me it is a huge motivator)
    Jawbone only allows for step duels between two people fitbit allows for group challenges

    I never used any tracker mainly b/c research proves none of the data is accurate and calorie burn has a 10-20% variance from reality. My hubs swears by his fitbit but im looking for something more um.. Esthetic.
    I didnt know jawbone has heart rate! I think ill give it a try soon!
