This is a keeper

I started to be become aware of how inactive I was at my office job when a friend of mine said let's start tracking our steps thru our Health app on our Iphones. It was a pain keeping an accurate account this way because if you weren't always carrying your phone it wouldn't track your steps. My sister ended up getting a new Fitbit and ended up giving me her fitbit flex. I have been using it since November and I can honestly say I feel more accountable now that I am being tracked. My friend and I do daily challenges to see how many steps we've done. Love how it tracks my sleep and I can see my steps on my phone thru the app...very convenient.
My only complaint is the band. Removing the battery to charge it causes it to slightly tear. I fear I'm going to need to a new band soon and seeing that this is an older model I don't know if I'm going to find one.
Love it and would buy it in a second.

Owned for a couple of years now. It has good features - i.e. step counter, sleep, challenges, etc Love that you can sync on your phone and/or computer. Band needs replacing 1-2 times a year due to cracks that always develop in the same areas. Perhaps it is just the way I take the "guts" in and out to get charged ??? Because of this challenge and not having a watch the rating went down. Some local retailers have stopped selling these replacements bands as consumers are buying newer models of the fitbit. Time for an upgrade when bands are no longer available in my local stores.

After missing my Apple Nano with a pedometer, I received the FitBit Flex. Now using it for 2 months I noticed it isn't overly accurate when wearing it on my wrist throughout the day. Sometimes I can be an active talker, and with each hand movement, the fitbit is tracking a step. So far, the Fitbit has been accurate when going for a walk, however two nights ago I was walking for just over half an hour (almost 3 km) and it only tracked 2000 steps, the battery was getting low and later that evening turned off which could be why it wasn't accurate?

I try to keep the battery charged each morning and started to wear it on a belt loop and it seems to be more accurate at counting daily steps. Perhaps other models are better, however wearing the tracker on my wrist will get to capture arm movement.

I start to focus on my health and fitness about 2 years ago. Sometimes it's hard to gage if you are working hard enough or if you are moving enough. So when I bought my fit bit is was nice to see how many steps I actually took. It helped motivated to move more and with app helps you get compete with with your friends. Easy to connect with my fitness pal as well. One extra bonus was how it monitors your sleep activity also. This is a great product for anyone just starting out on better health and fitness but also great for some who has always focused on their healthy well being. Very user friendly!

I love my new fitbit! it seems like it is pretty accurate at tracking certain things but I absolutely love the sleep tracer option!! It is encouraging to have to motivate you to get moving! Even my eight year old wants one now!

I was really excited to get my Fitbit flex. I love how you can add others with one as well and we were having quite a few challenges with family and friends. For a couple weeks I found it so effective I was taking way more steps than I use to! I get no use out of mine though now because the band left me with so many painful rashes. My husband has no use for his since it randomly wouldn't charge one day and now won't work ( had it for about 6 months) well at least now we an save on bands since he went through 5 bands in the 6 months!

The price is a bit hard to swallow because iphones usually have this app installed- for free. You do feel like you're accountable for your workout and start mini competitions with your friends. It is a good motivator. It's a gift I would give to my parents because as you get older, the desire to workout decreases with work and stress.

I got a Fitbit for my birthday and I've used it for a week I've noticed it kept cutting
My skin.and it was great but sadly I had to take it.trust me I liked the Fitbit but I guess it wasn't
Meant to be

I loved my Fitbit flex until I started using it while walking with my child's stroller,
Or clapping my hands. It goes into sleep mode when I do these things!
When I want to track the most, the sleep mode turns on and off, giving inaccurate readings.
I think I'll try the newer models to see if this is still an issue, otherwise it's great for tracking general steps and sleep patterns.

The Fitbit Flex is a step above your old pedometer. Since I started using it, I have forced myself to go over the 10,000 recommended steps. It does need to be charged fairly often and if you forget, your steps are not logged, so that is a downfall. I haven't linked myself to any friends yet, but I believe you can.
