Fitbit Flex Wireless Activity + Sleep Wristband, Black, Pedometer, Small/Large

So I got my second flex last week, after the first one was broken out of the box. I can't say enough how easy it is to return defective products to Amazon, very user friendly. Now for the flex. I'm totally sold on fitbit, yes I have a few. . I started out with the Surge. The surge is a great product in its own right, but is too bulky for me to wear every day in the hot summer. If you need all the bells and whistles the surge is the way to go. The surge also costs 250.I needed heart rate monitor sometimes because my health sucks. I'm 46 and I've had 2 mild heart attacks and now have chronic idiopathic pancreatitus. I spend a lot of time in bed, but I still need to do some easy physical activity, which for me is walking. Since the surge was too sweaty and bulky for me in the summer months, I tried the Charge HR next. I really like that one too, but it cost 149..but it's alot less bulky and has a great accurate enough heart rate. But it still got sweaty under the wrist and I was worried about it getting harmed when I do my housework. So then I got the flex.. The flex is very slim and can be loosely worn because it doesn't track heart rate.. Which for me is fine for most days when I don't need all the features. So no sweaty wrist, and, you can purchase many different types of replacement bands to match your outfit. The flex does track, steps, calories, miles and sleep which must be turned on manually. The flex also only costs about 80 bucks so I'm not as concerned about it getting wrecked doing heavy duty spring cleaning. The cost also makes it easy to get introduced to fitbit. The software and app are amazing and very social and user friendly. The app also allows you to hook up different trackers and set your goals up for what you want to do. Having friends on the app allows you to compete and stay motivated too. The flex uses 5 LED lights to help you see how you are doing through the day. Each light represents 20% of your goal. For me, I find the lights more motivating than having the raw data on my wrist because you have to work harder to get all the lights and complete the goal for the day. And, unlike the surge and charge that need to be charged every 3 days, the flex only needs to be charged once a week which is a lot easier if you like me have a crazy busy life.. So get a flex, you will love it and the fitbit community.

Great value for money! you can synchronize it with any phone(apple, windows and android). readings are quite accurate and price is not too bad. If you are a beginner to workout then this one is way better than the other options out there. otherwise go for garmin vivosmart.

Excellent product and fast delivery!

Nice product. Tracks everything. Wakes me up without disturbing my wife

I've been using my Fitbit (and the website program) for over two weeks now. It's not a ton of time, but I have to say that I am absolutely in love! While I had a bit of difficulty figuring out the ins and outs of the product (there's no user-manual in the package; you have to go to the website and click through the product to learn about how to go to Sleep Mode, how to charge, how to install, etc), once I did figure it all out it's been a breeze and surprisingly motivating. Just the fact that it's on my wrist reminds me (and encourages me) to get moving; I find I WANT to hit my 10,000 step goal, I'm DRIVEN to get there no matter how tired I might be, not to mention that the website is fantastic for tracking your calorie-intake and -outtake to really get a concrete understanding of your success in your weight-loss regiment. I love that the website charts my daily stats, from steps and distance to weight and progress towards my goal, and I have been religiously tracking myself, feeling great pride when I'm told I've reached my goal :D The Fitbit Flex also has a sleep mode. Before I bought it, a friend of mine told me it would wake me up before my next REM state so that I wouldn't wake up groggy. Fibit does not say this simply because it's not true; it was a misrepresentation by my friend. BUT! The Fitbit does track how long it takes to fall asleep and how many times you 'wake up' (or move about) during the night, and it gives you a 'sleep efficiency' percentage that is actually really helpful. I've been enjoying this feature more than I expected because it's showing me that my sleep efficiency is TERRIBLE!!! 55% on a good day! AH! But it makes sense to me because I'm always tired and usually need to be in bed for 10+ hours to feel rested... no wonder, considering an 8-hour sleep only gets me around 4 hours of ACTUAL sleep! So, now that I know this (thanks Fitbit! ^.^), I've been taking steps to try to get better sleep: no computer before bed, watching what I eat (no chocolate or caffeinated tea), etc. It's still early, but I'll continue to use Fitbit to see if it's working and compare to my past nights' sleeps :) A final thing I want to talk about it the Customer Service at Fitbit. In a word, it's WONDERFUL! For my experience, I bought the tangerine coloured Fitbit (I LOVE colour!) and simply adored the brightness of it! Until a week in when the orange started to turn black.... It's not a fault of the Fitbit, I know it was/is something of mine that the Fitbit is rubbing against when I wear it that is rubbing off onto the Fitbit and staining it (though for the life of me I can't figure out what! My coat? Sweater? Sweat pants? Jeans? Furniture???? What is it!!?!?). The pretty orange wristband is now completely black on the edges... it's OK for casual wear, but if I want to wear something nice and keep my Fitbit on, it just looks shabby, and it made me really sad :( So, I contacted Fitbit Customer Service. I sent an email with a picture showing the discolouration and explaining that my tracker was in perfect shape but that the discolouration of the orange wristband made me not even want to wear it anymore because it just looks aweful. Within two days, I received a message from Fitbit Customer Service saying they would be happy to replace my orange wristband with a black one instead (no discolouring! YAY!!!!). I have to say, I am THRILLED with their response! Not only with the speed and efficiency of it, but with the fact that they were so understanding, friendly, and respectful of me. The only questions they asked were my name and address so they could send the replacement, no suspicion or berating questions, and as a customer I super appreciate that :) There seem to be less and less companies with great Customer Service, but Fitbit is definitely one that has fantastic Customer Service :) I feel confident and comfortable buying from them and recommending the products now that I know that they truly put their customers first. Anyway, that's my experience with Fitbit. I absolutely recommend this product, specifically this company rather than another version of the same product (I know there are lots out there... Fitbit just outshines them imo). Hope this review is helpful! :)
