I'm thinking of getting a Fitbit, if you have one do you like it and what style do you have. Thanks

Don't waste your money. The most I used it for was for heart rate and steps and wasn't always right. It doesn't count your steps unless you are moving the correct way. I does tell you when you get a text or cell call. Overall, other than a watch, I wouldn't purchase it again. But, to each their own.

Love my fit bit charge 2. But I think it depends on what you do and what you want to Do. i Use Mine for steps, Tracking bike rides (distance, speed, burn, etc.) I do use the heart rate function.
I Dont Log Food, Water, Or Other Options That it has. It might not Be For
All, But I Love Mine!

I have a Charge 2 and love it. I use it for steps, runs, sleep, log food, watch, reminders to move, phone/text alerts, alarm clock....but I also have a garmin running watch that is more accurate that I use for running/walking only but wear my fitbit all day. The battery lasts much longer than an apple watch.

Love my Fitbit charger 2. It motivates me and sometimes have to remind me to move.

Really like the sleep log and see how many steps I take during the night.....yep I'm old......

I downloaded a free app on my phone that keeps track of calories and steps, let's you know how far you walk while you walk. It gives you a weekly update for every day of the week. Can't see spending money on a Fitbit.

Fit bit has their own app. That you can just download on any device it has many options of adding food wait categorizing your exercise. The only downfall was my band broke just short of year. Fit bit said it wasn’t covered under warranty. Have now switched to Apple Watch which actually gives me more bang for my buck and seems much more durable.

On my Android phone I use an app called Samsung Health. It keeps track of progress, helps you set goals, many other things. I'm sure there are many other apps that can be found that are also free.

I am addicted to mine for several years. It inspires me to go that extra step!

Was a waste for me. Did some vacuuming and logged about 10 miles. Wish that was true but extremely inaccurate. Returned it real quick,

I have a Fitbit HR and love it....however, I am on my 3rd one in two years. They keep coming apart. I have called twice and they have replaced it twice but now the third one is coming apart. I'll probably call again and see what they will do. Our server at dinner says he was on his 5th Charge HR. They really need some reengineering so they last.

I am also very fond of my fitbit! I try to get 10,500 steps everyday. I walk to Leslie Sansone Just Walk dvds and it records my time and steps. It has motivated me to do the walk dvds almost everyday (miss on occasion if I golf or go away early in the day). Lost 20 lbs. and lowered my cholesterol by 39 pts. in a year.
