Jawbone UP vs. Fitbit Flex

I'm going back and forth between these two wristband tracking options. does anyone have one of them? If so what do you think? are there any Pros or Cons to either?

love the fitbit. had no trouble at all with the sync and using the app. has helped me tremendously with keeping up my activity and monitoring my sleep efficiency. it syncs with MFP seamlessly.

I too reviewed both the Up and FitBit, and decided to go with the Jawbone Up, as many reviewers said the FitBit felt cheap and like it was going to break sooner. I like the BlueTooth that comes with the FitBit, although syncing with my iPhone is really easy with the Up.

--sleep Tracker, not really sure how it works, but tells you haw long it took to get to sleep, how many times you woke up, how much "light" sleep, and how much "REM" sleep.....very cool, and fairly accurate!

--Silent alarm gradually wakes you up, and you can set it so that anytime upto 30 mins before it goes off, it will wake you when you are out of REM sleep. This is the easiest on your system.

--Daily Reminders when you have been sedentary for too long...I set for an hour while at work, and it buzzes every hour if I haven't gotten up to walk,,,,great reminder to walk to kitchen or watering hole to ensure you get some movement.

PowerNap - set this, and it will wake you up in either 30-45 mins, which they say is the perfect nap

Otherwise, really happy with this. I set it for 5000 steps a day to start, and can't believe how it challenges me to ensure I complete it every day.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
