93% OF CHICKS DIG IT
My boyfriend and I love our Fitbit's for fitness, nutrition, weight, water and sleep tracking plus the silent vibrating alarms are a genius idea! We wake up a couple apart on the weekdays so not being jolted awake by a loud alarm 2 hours early has helped the quality of my sleep so much. My Fitbit has been the key motivator for keeping me on track with my diet and I am visually noticing the weight loss after only a month.
I love Love LOVE my Fitbit charge!! It has helped me lose 75 lbs! It encourages me to stay active and set a daily step goal. I love how I can 'compete' with my friends with different challenges throughout the week. It syncs to My Fitness Pal which is also a bonus.
The most motivational tool that is lightweight and a stylish, yet plain, accessory. A wonderful product however production has gotten worse, quality is lacking and they need to up their game Fitbit is great at exchanges and customer service with any problems.
My husband and I both tried a Fitbit Charge about a year ago. We enjoyed having them and loved being able to see just how active we really were. It was a great eye opener and motivator. That said, the quality of our items weren't great. My clasp was always letting go and I lost my FB about 3 times. Thankfully, it was always returned. I emailed about it but they weren't helpful sadly. Finally, one day, it was gone. Their support offered me 25% off a new one but my FB was only 6 months old. I haven't bothered replacing it. My husband's died after about 9 months and they quickly mailed him a new one. That was really nice.
In our group of friends, quite a few have FBs and none of them (NONE) lasted a year. They have all had one replaced by FB because one day they stopped working. So because of all that, I wouldn't get another one. For the price, they are great! But just a heads up on potential future troubles.
Had a flex then upgraded to the Charge. The product does what it says but I found the battery life dropped off steeply after about 6 months. Costco refunded me and I've move up to the Charge HR. If this fails as well I'll be moving away from the Fitbit products.
I am absolutely in love with my fitbit. I purchased the charge after I lost my flex at work, I really enjoy that you can track steps, calories burnt, miles walked, floors climbed, and it also tells the time, works as a stopwatch and shows caller id. I also enjoy using the fitbit with the app so I get 100% effectiveness. This is a product I would forever recommend.
Finally found a tracking tool that I really do enjoy using! I have already lost 15lbs since using this (started Jan 8, 2016) and when I lost the charger cable last week, I for once became frantic that I was going to be without. I searched high and low for a genuine FitBit charger (phew I did get one!). If you are looking for help and something that really works with other software apps such as Myfitnesspal I can not recommend this enough. I now really want a FitBit with a heart rate monitor!
I started out with the Charge and then upgraded to the Charge HR - I've been wearing it for just over a year now and I have to say I do love it! The heart rate monitor I find very accurate, I've tested it against other heart rate monitors and just counting my own BPM and it's always right on or maybe 1-2 beats off. The heart rate also helps to more accurately calculate calories burned, it tracks your sleep, steps, stairs climbed, it also automatically logs activities when you start moving around. I find it very comfortable to wear for the most part, and it does loosen up over time, the band becomes softer and I think more comfortable.
Would definitely recommend! I got 2 coworkers onto it now too!
I purchased this item just a little under a year ago. I like the design, and the features it offers. I do find it does prompt me to be more fit, as I can easily see my steps and know that I should be moving more.
The cost is somewhat high, and the quality could be better, particularly for the cost. I will say though that their customer services is excellent! Something broke on mine and within an hour I had it resolved online and they shipped me a new one at no cost.
Love my Fitbit Charge! The band if coming apart a bit but it works great! Keeps me motivated and makes me want to move! I would recommend this product to anyone of any age who wants to be mindful of how much they move.
