Fitbit?

[nateinct 5]

I've been looking to get a FitBit before my surgery (late Dec/early Jan - undecided yet). Any one have experience with this gadget? I love metrics and data, so keeping track with something like this pre/post surgery (maybe 1 or 2 weeks pre) would be interesting.

scale that goes with it, but not sure if that's overkill or not. My wife might not go for it, but I could ask Santa ...

Jawbone, Polar, and Nike also make popular fitness tracker bands. I looked at them all, and decided on the FitBit as the best option for me. I also like that it measures sleep movement...

I have not purchased it yet, but I think that is your best choice.

I have a fitbit flex, and I love it

[Alex Brecher 10,516]

I used the FitBit Flex for 6 months. Fell in love with it and purchased the matching FitBit Aria scale. I pre-ordered the FitBit Force the day it was announced and have been using it since November 7th. I loooooove my FitBit toys. They really help keep me motivated and moving. Tracking my (lack) of sleep is awesome. If you can afford the Force, go for it. The watch, screen and battery life were a huge plus for me. My goal in the future is to integrate this site/app with FitBit and the other trackers and popular health apps.

I'd love to get the Force, but on the Web site it's pre-order/4 weeks out, did you find they shipped sooner? I see some on Amazon but not sure I want to buy outside of what is truly Amazon/Prime. Do you use the WiFi scale too? I love seeing data and charts, so that would provide some extra motivation ... thanks!

There is a new sensor coming out, hopefully in April. The Angelsensor

http://www.angelsensor.com/ I really like the capabilities of this one which includes heart rate monitor. Fingers crossed it does as much as it says.

Hi there, I was just at Dick's and they had them up by the register. If you have one close by I would check it out. No shipping!

I pre-ordered the day it was announced and they shipped the day they got them in stock. Looks like they're back ordered again.

I use the wifi scale as well. I LOVE tracking everything in my life. The historic data and charts are awesome.

I read about this sensor and I'm on their beta waiting list. I plan on purchasing one the second it's available. I'm sick of wearing a heart rate monitor around my chest and I've been waiting very impatiently for one that can be worn around the wrist.

I love my FitBit. I got it in September for my Birthday. In October, they came out with a Pink band. If I'd known, I would have told my Boyfriend to wait a few weeks before ordering it. I really want a pink band. I think it was only available in October.

I am new to the FitBit world and have had my Force for a week. I like it. I will continue to use my Polar Heartrate monitor at the gym, however.

I got a fit bit for Christmas last year, then i lost it i loved it. be careful, those are small litte buggers. i hope to get another soon. i miss it

I have been rocking a zip for over a month while completing prerequisites. Pair it with myfitnesspal and tracking couldn't be easier.

I am wearing my Fitbit Flex right now - I love it. I also had the fitbit one and was equally impressed.

I will purchase a Force probably next year maybe after they introduce the new sensor.

My only complaint is while bike riding - it will log steps if you're wearing it or even if it's off and in a bad. I leave it home while bike riding, then manually enter the ride. That's not a deal breaker.

I love the sleep function - it tracks your sleep efficiency.

I had a Body Bug and I liked it, I just didn't like how visible it was.

I didn't purchase the scale...am tempted, however.

Not sure what you decided, but I got the FitBit Force for Christmas and am enjoying it so far. I decided on the Flex because I liked the smaller size (less noticeable), BUT was given the Force and couldn't be happier.

I love my firbit one and aria! I love the interface of fitbit so much better than my fitness pal too. I got bot of these things because I am HORRIBLE at keeping track. These do the job for me and I don't even have to think about it. I just have to remember to charge my tracker. I bought the scale used on ebay. So many get it for christmas, and by june they want the money because they don't use it. Its harder to get the trackers since many sellers have lost parts and such.
