The new Jawbone Up3 (which comes out in a couple of months), looks to be superior to the new Fitbit Charge HR. I tried both of their last generation of activity monitors and was unhappy with the UP24 and very happy with the Flex. The new Up3 looks like it's fixed everything I didn't like about the Up24 and I was tempted to wait for it and switch over. But two feature stories from Fortune this month indicate that Jawbone may be on the verge of bankruptcy and I decided to play it safe with the Fitbit and their excellent customer support. I've now upgraded to a Fitbit Charge HR and love it.

Thanks for the feedback all! I've read in multiple places that Fitbit has great customer experience!

@@anaxila I agree, I really liked the looks of the Jawbone Up3, but have been unaware of the pending bankruptcy. Thanks for the heads up!

I've also been looking at the Pivotal Tracker which you receive for free with an annual subscription of $12....

I've been looking into activity trackers and could not make up my mind on them, so I ended up getting a used Fitbit one on ebay for about 1/2 the cost of a new one. That way, if I don't like it I'm not out much and can try another. The other one I was interested in is the Misfit Shine, and I saw a good price on ebay for that as well, but decided to try the FB first. I've had it a few days now and so far I love it.

I just wish that I could wear it when I go to Water aerobics.

If you have a Flex, you can wear it in the Water. It says on their website that it's water resistant. I wear mine while swimming.

I will be adding everyone who's name was already in this thread =)

I'm looking into activity trackers now and have a questions for those of you who currently have Fitbits. Why did you personally select one Fitbit model over an other? Surge vs Charge vs Flex? For example, I'm wondering why anyone would want the Flex model when you can't even view any of the detail reports from the actual band? It just shows dots. Is that a pain? It's a smaller band, so likely more comfortable. Maybe that alone would guarantee more wear? Help! Right now Im leaning toward the Charge with the heart rate monitor. Pros? Cons? I'd like to hear more from actual users. Thanks!

I have had my flex for almost a year and a half. Love that it is light and smaller than most bands. I can see my progress on my phone as I have it with me 24/7. I haven't had any problems with it at all.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
