I lost my fitbit flex last month and was so disappointed...just ready to order a new one and saw the TSV today...used the clip on for 2 years and moved to the wristband...LOVE it!! With the flex and the mapmywalk app it makes walking fun

Yes! My first day I only did 1300 steps. I was convinced I was moving more. Now I do 10-12 k steps! I'm down 14 lbs and I've completed two 5k races!! I have the zip. It has motivated me to move and try new things. A few months ago, I would have laughed if you told me I would do 2 5 k runs. I have fibro and I need to lose another 60 lbs. the zip started it all for me.

Awesome! Kudos to you. That's what I want! Ordered the pink in large - small seems too small. If I don't like it - back it will go in 30 days but I want to try it.

Yes, but it's incorrect. I wear mine to walk 2 miles and it always says I have walked 3 miles. How can that be?

Have you adjust the stride?

I prefer the Jawbone UP. I think it's more accurate.

Contact Fibit CS. I have heard stories of them replacing Fitbits that have been lost. They have good CS.

Is there any metal on the inside of the bracelet? I am super allergic to nickel. I can't even wear my body bugg. It burns a circle in my arm where the sensor is. I can't believe they would put nickel in something you would wear 24/7 and sweat in.

None of them are perfect. And, bottom line, IMO, is not about having the exact number of steps one takes. It is about improving one's fitness level.

There are many different activity trackers & I think we should ll get the one that appeals to us. Whatever motivates us to be more active is working great.

The UP lost any votes from me because of the sleep tracker. I used the same sleep app as it does and found it to be useless.

I just started using the Fitbit One and I love it. There is no wristband unless you are in sleep mode. I clip it to my bra or shirt. I differentiates between walking up steps or just on the level and sends out reward badges. My only complaint is there are no instructions. You have to go to their website to learn how to use it.I am not tech savvy and it took me awhile but now I love it.

Fitbit Force is the BEST one--QVC doesn't carry it. Here's the review:http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/30/technology/personaltech/review-the-fitbit-force-activity-tracker.h...
