Fitbit Questions

According to the website, the Virginia Beach Best Buy carries the FitBit Ultra. I am considering going over there today to buy one, but have a few questions I hope you fine people can answer for me.

1. I spend a lot of time driving and a big truck bounces and jars a lot. Will this throw off the readings?

2. I see it's a rechargeable device. How often does it need to be charged?

3. If you are supposed to wear it even while sleeping, when do you charge it?

    There is a way to go in an record your driving times in your data.

    I charge mine about once a week.

    I charge mine when I'm sleeping and just make sure to manually input my sleep into the system. It's all sorta confusing at first but then its a piece of cake

    Cool, where does one input driving times? MyFitnessPal or FitBit.com?

    Very cool, thanks for the help. I found it on the FitBit site. It even includes driving a big rig. Very cool.

    I think you've got answers to your questions but I'll share what I do just for information. I've had my FB about 3 weeks and really like it - been very pleased with my purchase and the data it offers.

    I charge mine once a week - it charges very quickly. I wear my FB while sleeping so charge it while I'm just sitting, since it charges in the length of a sitcom on Netflix. I figure since I'm just sitting, it's not going to have any motion to track anyway...

    Good idea. There are plenty of times I could charge it while just sitting in my truck. Thanks.
