Fit bracelets - does anyone have one you've been using??

Just wondering how much you love it and what do you mainly use it for? They have so many different ones out there and some here on the Q.

I apologize if this has been discussed already; when I did a quick search nothing popped up. I put one on my Christmas wish list but would like to hear from someone who has one before my Beloved runs out and buys one.

Update - I did get the fitbit flex for Christmas and I am REALLY loving it! I joined the community there and have several friends, and so I'm always trying to get a few more steps in so I can "get ahead". I feel like this is part of the necessary equation for me for a healthy New Year. Add to that a new Just Dance and some Zumba classes at my gym (in addition to my 3-4x a week boot camp) and I am feeling GREAT!!

I'm glad I saw this thread. I was researching the different types and I ordered the Fit Zip today. Smiley Happy

I purchased my Fitbit One before Christmas and love it. I clip it on every morning and it tracks my steps and keeps me aware that I'm wearing it. I get a weekly report of my progress every Tuesday on my computer so I weigh myself that day and update my weight (hopefully a lower number). I synced myfitnesspal with it so it's all tied together. Keeps me motivated when I see I have reached more steps than the previous week.

I can't wait to get mine. The only thing I don't like about the zip is that it's not rechargeable, but I think the battery will last awhile. Some friends at work are going to start walking. The building we work in is kinda like an indoor campus so we can't use the weather as an excuse.

I got the FitBit one (clips on my pants). I LOVE IT! Received it on 12/24 and as of this morning, I'm down 3.5 lbs (26.5 to go). I have a couple friends on the app so I can see their 7 day total steps. I thought that was going to be motivating to stay ahead of them, but they are being kind of lazy. But....I set the goal for me to do 10,000 steps a day and so far I've done it with the exception of one day when I started to get a migraine. I find it very motivating to hit that step total. I find myself getting up from my desk at work more often just to get a few more steps in. I highly recommend it!

I got the Fitbit One for Christmas. I clip it on my clothing around my waist. No one knows I am wearing it. It was so easy to connect to the computer and smart phone and you can see results on the device without computer or phone if you want. It's fun to set a goal and reach it. So far I have lost a pound and a half. Doesn't sound like much, but it motivates me. So far I love this device!!!

I bought the Fitbit Force on Black Friday. Use it, love it!

Does anyone know if you have to have a smart phone to access the info compiled? I don't have a smart phone but I do have a MacBook Air, thanks!
