Fitbit
 

Anyone have one of these? Opinions?

I think they are over priced. I haven't done the research, but Tommie Copper has one that is less than $30.

I had a Nike Fuel band first and adored it. Multiple issues! The first one out of the box didn't work, second one worked 4 months and last one made it 7 months. I purchased a Fitbit about 6 months ago.
Pros: it's on my arm and I can tap it to see if I have met my goal of steps for the day by little lights that light up as I progress thru the day.
Cons: It has lights only. My fuel band showed exactly how many steps & calories.
It has a rubber band feel and is stiff so I can't stand to wear it at night.
The fuel band was more like a bangle bracelet.
The bands can break easy and it's hard to get on.
You have to clean the little hole the tracker goes in.
You have to charge it every 4 or 5 days and it takes forever to charge.
It you don't have a smart phone and don't check your email often then you have a dead Fitbit.
Fuel band went 7-10 days charge and you could see it needed charging.
I wish I'd done more research and picked something different.

I got a cheap version on Amazon £15 sterling does the same links with my phone, does what it says on tin. I am not an exercise person so didn't want to spend a fortune, this does the same things an expensive one does and works for me.

I bought one for each of my family members for Christmas year before last. They all still use them. My DD bought an upgraded one this last year. One warning: The small bracelet was too darn hard to fasten! I couldn't do it by myself. So check that out before buying. I bought the bangle bracelet for it and like it much better. There are a lot of different brands out now that all do basically the same. I would pick the one that looks the best and I wanted to wear all the time.

i love mine !!

I was given one about 9 months ago. I really like it, it interfaces with my phone. And my fitness app. If it would get me up and moving about more it would be darn near perfect!.

more on the topic. I don't have one

I have the Fitbit One that I got through the fitness program at work. It's a small clip on unit that tracks steps, floors calories burned, and distance. You can set alarm reminders, too. If you wear it at night it can monitor your sleep and gives a record of when you were restless. I've only had it a couple of months but it has made me more aware of being active.
