    Yes, I have one. It's quite bulky and uncomfortable to wear. Of course the Ads for it make it look sleek and pretty. I've tried wearing it as a bracelet, necklace, and clip. It does track very well and the programs on it are good, I just wish it wasn't so bulky and uncomfortable to wear. I'm now using a Misfit shine. There's a new one that looks like a tube that seems to be better. The shine tends to slip out of the rubberized bracelets and clips. It's secure in the necklace so that's how I wear it or I put it in my pocket. The tube one is the one that i would recommend as it's a lot more secure and comfortable.

    It keeps popping up on my Facebook (thanks targeted marketing). So I looked into it a bit.

    It seems to be a tracker targeted at women, sleep, steps, cycles. Obviously it's prettier than a lot of things, BUT you do have to track it manually, and it's not re-chargeable you have to manually change the watch batteries in it.

    I don't know if it syncs with MFP, from a look at the help boards it appears not. That can always change though.

    I've not got one so I can't tell you much about wearability, I know I only wanted to wear one thing so I got a fitbit that doubles as a watch, depends on your preferences!

    I'd not heard of it so I just googled. The battery in it is a c2032, which is the same battery I put in my food scale. Not that much smaller than a quarter, which would make that tracker pretty huge despite their photos.

    Just thought I'd add, if it's cycle tracking that is drawing you to it, Clue is an excellent app for that and free too.

    Thanks guys.. yeah I suspected it was much larger then they wanted to allude to and I just want something that isn't a bracelet as I want to track all the time and with massage therapy you can't exactly have it on your arms lol I'll look into the misfit and the tracking apps though! :)

    I have one too. I never use it. It really was not counting my steps as accurately as the Fitbit. It would sometimes be a hassle to sync to my phone as well.
    It's cute, but really wasn't practical for me. I have the Fitbit blaze and you can dress it up in a nicer band so it looks like a watch. I get compliments on it! I recommend that over the leaf any day!
