FITBIT? Has this been discussed?

[DVC Daisy]

What type of iPhone did you get? 4s? 5?

I preordered the Flex a while ago, can't wait until it ships! Sounds like FitBit is a great product.

Oh no!!! I just found my Fitbit in the bottom of the washing machine.

It seems to be working ok, but I hope it isn't ruined...

Anyone ever wash their Fitbit? What happened long term?

I accidentally washed and dried mine last night. I have the Zip. Seems to be working ok today.

Yikes!!! I'm glad yours is still working too.

Hi everyone! Ok, I read through a lot of this thread and got a fitbit zip today! I just set it up - excited to get started! Did any of you calibrate it or just use the standard settings? And do you find those accurate?

I am seriously thinking of buying the Fitbit. I'm just having a hard time figuring out which one to get. Is there a big difference between the Zip, One and Ultra? Aside from the Zip being $40 cheaper? And I believe that one doesn't count stairs climbed, right? I really don't think I need to sleep tracker part.

Can anyone tell me the pros/cons of each one. So hard to decide. And where did you buy yours? Amazon? Best Buy? Internet?

I bought the zip and have had it for a week. So far I like it (I've lost 2 lbs so far). I bought mine from Amazon and used some GC's so with free shipping it cost me $31.00.

Hi. I just use the standard settings. My response won't really help. For now, I'm using the treadmill for the distance when exercising. I used the FITBIT for overall movement for the day.

I got the One. I *think* the only difference is the Zip can't record your sleep patterns. (Someone will correct me if I'm wrong.) I have only used that feature once. I don't really need it. If you aren't interested in the sleep feature the Zip would probably do the trick.

I got mine from Amazon as well. I did not think they sold the Ultra anymore. I have the One. I think (not positive) that it is quite a bit smaller than the Zip. It tracks sleep which is interesting, but it also tracks flights of stairs and the Zip does not if that is important to you.

I think (???) that the Zip comes in different colors & the One only in black.

I really love how tiny the One is. I absolutely love it! I definitely use the stairs feature & sometimes use the sleep feature.

You will love it - whichever one you get!

Got me off my bottom & moving

Oh - and Fitbit syncs very easily with Myfitnesspal if you use that. Super easy to track your food that way!

I love my FitBit I have the one and although I didnt expect to I love the sleep info it provides. I am also impressed with the battery life. I hope someday they make a bracelet you can put your one in and have another option of how to wear it.

 

[OceanAnnie]

I really like it too. It certainly does motivate!

I keep mine attached to my bra strap. I have tried other places, but then it's out of sight and out of mind. I have nearly lost it that way, so bra strap it is!

 

[Dreamer2012]

Where on your bra strap do you hook it? Also anyone else having trouble syncing their FitBit to their iPhone 5? Mine just says "looking" but NEVER syncs - if I sync with my laptop my iPhone will show it but won't sync itself....

I hook it right above a cup (or sometimes between the cups). I'll need another plan when Spring and Summer arrive and clothing will be lighter weight. No one can see it now. I'd like to keep it that way.

Between the girls facing inward. The girls are pretty big so they hide the fitbit and no one knows it is there. Plus it is not likely to get lost this way.

Right below the strap on the cup facing inward. It barely shows & I wear pretty clingy tops

It was a big concern for me if it would show before I bought it, but it really is not a problem as long as you face in inward.

I am so looking forward to getting my fitbit flex. I hope they release it next month.

I love my fitbit. I have it programmed to tap in to my lose it! Account. I have a fancy spread sheet where I keep track of all my diet and exercise stuff. I track how many steps I take each day to see where I need to pick up slack,

 

[Dreamer2012]

Thanks ladies I have started wearing mine inside (towards my body) rather than the other way after having almost lost it several times. I will now try the Bra placement! Hope it will be as accurate as it has been hooked to the top band on my pants! I need to get moving again - since we got home from WDW last Wed. I have not been to the gym or even hit 5,000 steps once on my fitbit - I better get going again soon!

 

[zoo2tycoon]

I wear mine inside my bra cup...nobody would know it was there.
Best investment ever....love seeing if I can beat the previous days steps or stair totals.

 

[OceanAnnie]

I wear mine facing inwards too. If it somehow comes loose, it will fall on the inside of my bra.
