Fitbit?

I have a Charge 2 and love it. I would keep an eye on Fitbit's website, sometimes they have sales. You could also get one on amazon. If you don't mind a used one you could always go for ebay or Craigslist.

I have a Charge 2 with HRM. I bought it over the blaze as I don't care about on screen workouts and music control...seems silly.

I do like it yes...it's a bit bulky but it's got a lot of functionality too so it's a give and take.

My suggestion is going on the fitbit site and doing a comparison of the different types they have based on what you want it to have.

You may want the flex or the Alta...which are smaller and more dainty or you might choose the blaze.

Yeah with Mothers Day coming they're on sale in a lot of places. I was looking for Blaze replacement bands last night and the Blaze itself is $150. If you don't want to spend that much, the Flex, Alta, and Charge are all less expensive.

based on what I could see the blaze only has 2 extra functions over the new charge...music control and on screen workouts...

in Canada they are about 239$...reg 199$ on sale.

Walmart has them on sale too I think for mom's day.

Oh and I've only had the charge hr since January, irritating

I have a Charge 2 and it is great. It holds the battery life a long time.

I have a ChargeHR (first generation). I love it. I bought some fun covers for it on Amazon so it doesn't look so dorky, lol! I also love the Fitbit community. It's very motivating to be in a challenge with friends, or even strangers, who have similar goals.

That said, I have to add that I will probably be changing to something that I can wear while swimming. I've added a couple of days of swimming to my weekly workouts and I really need something that can monitor my heart rate while swimming.

Good luck on your search.

My One is good since Dec 2013. Never any issues. Hubby & I got Charge 2 HRs a couple of months ago and both bands started bubbling near where the band meets the device. I ordered 3rd party bands from Amazon. Figured Fitbit would replace under warranty, but a new band would do the same. And the bands I got fit perfectly, and are more comfortable.

Iv got a flex 2 and love it, step count is around 99% on the dot wether i wear it on my wrist of have it in my pocket (I do that because if im pushing the pushchair it registers it as a bike ride not a walk lol)
and i love the fact it tracks swimming to, has always been spot on for my swims on time/distance swam

I have a flex thats still going strong nearly 3 years later,my daughter bought me a charge hr and I just realized yesterday that the band is splitting! Where's the duct tape haha

Contact fitbit they will send you a free replacement

Fitbit is very good when it comes to warranty coverage.

That said, a combination of continuous wear and what I can only consider to be material or design decision issues with the original charge HR and surge series bands has resulted in a number of warranty and non warranty replacements amongst the people I know. I've only paid for one, but I am on my third charge HR in 2.5 years, and it only continues to work because I've crazy glued it together.

If I were picking one today it would probably be the charge 2. If HR wasn't desired I would pick the flex2.

I would personally lose a one or zip right away so they are out for me! But if I could handle them better they would be under consideration. Between the two I would buy a zip were it not for my irregular schedule and desire to track sleep hours which would make me lean towards the one.

I bought a Zip about a week ago. Nothing fancy, but I love it. It was around $60, I believe.

They're on sale now. Kohls, Target, even Staples. Most prices will match up about the same but you may be able to get rewards depending on where you buy. Like Kohls cash to use on a future purchase if you buy at Kohls. Or 5% discount if you buy at Target with a red card.

Don't buy used, and don't buy from any company that is not an authorized seller. You would have no warranty from Fitbit, and they're great on customer service if something is wrong with a device. Assuming you bought it thru a legitimate source.

I bought mine from a friend and they still honored the warranty when it needed replaced.
