Suggestions of FitBits?



Recommended Posts

There are so many out there and while my eyes are naturally drawn to the cheapest one. I want to buy whichever is the top rated and used by many. So which one do you guys suggest?

I have the flex and love it....However, I do wish I had one that also gave me the time and would show my number of steps right on the band. With the flex you have to go to the app to see the number of steps. I will probably upgrade in the future but will probably wait and just hint to my husband that it would be a good Christmas gift for me.. :-)

I use a Garmin viviofit it is cheaper than a fit bit, you can wear it swimming and the battery is good for a year without recharging. You can also view your steps, calories burned and time

I use the fitbit Surge. It shows the time and date, heart rate, steps, miles, cals, and floors. You can also track your exercise (gps), time it, calculate cal/steps/etc, for that activity. sleep patterns can also be monitored, if you wear it at night. You need to charge it about every 3-4 days. I love it. I feel lost when I don't have it.

I like my FitBit Flex because I can change the band to the pretty ones with a buckle. I hate those fat black bands of some of the others.

I just bought the Fitbit Blaze and i love it. You can track your steps, heart rate, floors and sleeping patterns all on the band. You can also see your missed calls and text messages and control your music from the watch if you sync it with your phone. I have to charge it every four days.

Garmin also does sleep tracking and lets you know when you have been not doing anything for too long, it has a red line that starts to go on the display. you can get all sorts of band colors

Mine does too. It's a new function. When I first bought it, it did not...Then they put out a free upgrade and now it does.

I also use the fitbit Surge. I just don't like that you can't change out the bands and it only comes in like three or four different colors (or so it did when I got mine), also you can't wear it swimming. When you sync it to your phone, you can control your music and you can also see incoming phone calls and text messages. I love to use the gps when riding my bicycle and it syncs with myfitnesspal so your calories burned and exercise will show up on myfitnesspal, which is one of my favorite features! I had a fitbit flex years ago when they first came out, but I had a nasty skin reaction from wearing it and eventually had to stop. I went through fitbit's customer service and was able to return it for a full refund with no problem.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
