I have a Fitbit Flex and I love it. I have been really motivated to get my daily steps in and I have persuaded four other friends to get one. We all walk quite a bit and it's fun to be friends with them on the fitbit app to help challenge each other to do our best.

I am so back and forth on this silly gadget. .
Do any of you use the sleep tracking? It did track mine last night. I was in bed for 6 hr 15 min. It said I was fully awake for 9 min, fully asleep for 1 hr 59 min, and restless for 4 hr 7 min!! Gulp! Have you found it to seem accurate for you? I know I didn't sleep well again last night so it seems like this is possible. If I only slept soundly for 2 hrs (if this is common for me) it's no wonder I sometimes struggle with low energy! I am curious to see what my trend would be. I may test it with my HRM again tonight but AFTER I record all my numbers!

I've had the One for 2 years and love it. It has absolutely been instrumental in my moving more each day. I was in a sedentary job when I got it...and it was very eye opening to see how little I was moving. Now I won't go to bed until I hit or exceed my goal. LOVE it! |

Tonight my pedometer didn't get reset so hopefully I freaked out about nothing, but now it's almost worse not knowing what happened bc I don't know when/if it might happen again! I get way too overworked about some things, I know. The only other thing I did last night that I didn't do tonight was use my phone while the HRM was still on, but who knows. I just don't like it when I can't figure out why smthg happened like this.

I will say this: if I didn't already have a pedometer I love that is part of a routine I like (recording my dog walks), I would probably be quite happy with the Flex. I would still be bummed about not being able to see my steps whenever I wanted, but I doubt I would have been as frustrated as I have been. The sleep tracking is really why I wanted it and didn't intend to give up my ped. Also the band is not as annoying as it was at first, so that's good.

Just wanted to say thanks for the great tips and help. Sorry I've been so negative the last couple days! I do like the Flex, but I still can't see ever giving up my trusty old pedometer. We're attached at the hip! .
I do have another question. When we go camping we don't have electricity, so this battery won't last the whole time. Even if the battery dies, my info will still sync when I get back to my computer, right? Or is it lost when the battery dies? Bc we do trips like this is the reason I wish it was a normal battery instead of rechargeable. Thanks!
