Fitbit Flex Wireless Activity Sleep Band.

I love this product! After almost three weeks of use I have noticed that I was not as active as I believed I was, and my fit bit helped me to push myself to reach 10,000 steps every day. I tested this product; I opened the app and held my iPad in both of my hands and watched the step count as I walked. Even without swinging my arms the fitbit got the step count correct, and it is even correct when pushing a stroller or a cart. The only problem I have is that if I clap, or sometimes with a wobbly cart at the store, the fit bit believes I am tapping it and it goes into sleep mode. But that is easily fixed and doesn't affect the step count by more than a few steps if you catch it. It wakes me up every morning by vibrating and reminds me to go to sleep every night. It is absolutely perfect, worth the price! Just remember to clean it off after a long run, it does hold sweat.

After some back and forth, I decided to try this in replacement to weight watchers. After just a day, I was sold! Using this with both the Fitbit app and tracking food with myfitnesspal, I have been able to lose weight better than I recently have with weight watchers. It is easy to use, and even tracks your sleep. The only downer is that it is not waterproof, but is water resistant (basically, not to be worn while swimming). Highly recommend this product!

I was at a point where I wasn't losing or gaining weight and was at a stalemate. I had been seeing ads for the fitbit and thought it might be worth it to take a chance on it. I decided on the Flex just because I like wristband style so I can put it on and forget it. After the first day I don't even realize that I am wearing it, and the only time I take it off is to charge the battery, which for me is only about every 6 days. The Flex seems to be fairly accurate on steps taken and distance walked. The sleep monitor feature is nice, well, it tells me how much sleep I am not getting! The last cool thing about the Flex is I linked the Flex with My Fitness Pal app so keeping up with calories and exercise is now much easier. I now find myself parking a little farther away and walking and just being more motivated to get up and be more active. If you like gadgets and need some motivation the Flex for what it is and for the price is a good deal.

I LOVE my Fitbit. Never had one before, it has been great tool in getting fit. It track s steps, calories, miles, water drank and food and had lots of cool activities / challenges and sends you positive messages and metals on email!!!! Have recommended it to 7 people already! Thanks Fitbit!

I purchased this for my partner as an early Christmas present and decided to go ahead and give it to him. He has been having a lot of trouble sleeping (going to bed but not feeling like he really slept) well this thing was perfect for that! It showed him the next morning how much he stirs during the night and even shows periods where he was awake and moving but didnt even realize it. He has just started with the apps other features, but this was the main reason i purchased it and its much better than expected!

I absolutely love this product, I use it every day and have also purchased the accessory pack so I can get more colors. My one and only problem is that, it gets bumped and bruised really easy. I got the black, and can no longer wear the black band as it has way too many scratch marks. And I simply work in retail, not a whole lot of Manual labor. Other than that, it's very neat, and I've actually dropped 5 pounds in about 2 weeks, as the fitbit app also connects to many other fitness/healthy eating apps!

I initially bought this to not only track my steps, but because it's also a sleep tracker. It's great motivation, but because it has to sync up with your computer, it's hard to see your progress through the app as the day progresses. It has encouraged me to take more steps daily, drink more water (because of the app), and to work towards having a better sleep schedule. Some good things are: band is comfortable, it is water resistant, the app is a great tool to track your water and food consumption. The draw backs are, as mentioned above, it does not sync with the app unless you're near the USB plug. It makes it harder to track the total amount of steps you've taken while you're out and about. If you use your hands/arms a lot while standing or sitting, it will give you an inaccurate reading. In an hour and a half of delivering newspapers, it said I had taken over 12,000 steps. Some reviews have stated that it doesn't do as good as a job as the Fitbit One, I just see it as a way of encouraging you to take more steps towards being healthy.

Just started wearing this today with my fiance as we attempt to get in shape for the wedding day. I like watching myself make it towards a goal motivates me to do a little extra, walk a little further, burn a few more calories and stay aware of how much or how LITTLE I am actually moving. As day one neared midnight and the close of a challenge I found myself dancing and pacing at work trying to hurry up and burn my remaining calories for the day which is exactly what I wanted the fitbit to make me do. I bought this in replacement of my bodybugg which had an ugly bulky design and couldn't get wet and required a monthly or annual subscription in order to sync your info so it was a constant expense and pretty temperamental, requiring charging daily as opposed to once a week like the fitbit. I love that the fitbit website is FREE but does have the option to upgrade to premium service for extras but is not required to use the fitbit flex. I sync using my Galaxy S4 and it works well. Fiance syncs through a Note II without a problem so we're both androids couldn't tell ya how it works with iPhone. We have had trouble when we're in the same room trying to sync (and set up the fitbit) b/c the "dongle" finds both fitbits and errors so it will tell you to move the other one away... meaning I had to send honey into the other room during set up of mine! Fiance's complaint is leaving your bluetooth connection on the phone drains phone battery faster-- however it is not necessary to be syncing all day you can avoid the drained battery by only turning the bluetooth on to sync when you want it to. The info won't be lost in the meantime. I also don't like that the fitbit is such a pain to put on-- the "clasp" part is really annoying I will probably never take it off but once a week when it needs charging just to avoid this. I pinched fiances wrist on accident trying to put it on b/c it has to be squeezed so hard to stay put. Luckily the battery lasts 5 days without charging and that's the only time it needs to come off. Fitbit managed to last through a shower which I was skeptical about doing-- but I've read reviews warning against swimming with it on even though the website says you can lap swim just not dive-- but I won't risk it!! The sleep tracking I did not get to work today =/ which was a bummer but I'm new to it so hoping it was just a newbie error, fortunately I could still tell from my movement graph how often I tossed and turned even without the sleep tracker working. The wake up vibration isn't strong enough to wake me up so I wouldn't recommend using it as your sole alarm clock unless you're just cat napping. The "steps" counter can be inaccurate-- could easily just flap your arms crazy and make it appear you ran a mile so it's not going to stop a cheater from cheating! ;) There are a lot of little hidden features already default set that you have to make sure you change-- like calorie estimator which will assume what it thinks you burned based on your previous activities recorded and your basal metabolic rate rather than what you are actually doing. If you want it to show solely what you burned based on your actual movements you have to turn that feature off. There's a nice online community allowing you to talk to other fitbit users across the country or even locals who encourage each other and even have group exercise meetings which was a delightful bonus (much cheaper than weight watchers!!). You can challenge other users and invite friends as well as share your goals and accomplishments to other fitbit users and on social media. Great tools for accountability!! The challenges to get "badges" and seeing yourself near a goal are motivating it's like being in a daily race with yourself. The fitbit comes with a small and a large band and the tracking part can be moved between the 2 easily. This was a bonus for us b/c my fiance wears the large size and I am wearing the small size, and since we ordered separate colors (black & slate) thinking we would get them confused we both now have a band in both colors so we're not stuck with one color. The "slate" color looks blue by the way!! What could have made it better: If it like the "fitbit force"-- which walmart does not sell and according to reviews has already stopped production; had the time displayed on it like a watch. Since it is worn all the time and it is worn wear your watch would normally go-- forcing u to either double up or wear something on both wrists it's awkward. People will assume its a watch and ask you for the time and look at ya crazy when you say you don't know. haha Overall it's a motivating TOOL. It's not going to make you lose weight just by wearing it but if you are motivated by accountability, challenges, deadlines, rewards (via badges of honor), or the failures of not hitting your own preset goals you will like this. I personally hate trying to track my exercise, calories, intake etc so it's nice to have something doing it for me. Also nice that you can sync from a smart phone and see where you stand without waiting until you get home or to a computer. It does what you expect of it and the online dashboard and community is a bonus. I plan to get the fitbit aria scale that works with this system to help me track body fat loss so I like that these products work together seamlessly. I'd recommend it to a motivated friend!

This product seems good, but talk about nickle and dime you. Too get a better program you need to pay 49.99 to get the premium program. Why did it not give you that information in the summary of the product? I still cannot get the sleep mode to work. Will it not work if I haven't bought the premium program? The flex activity sleep band is sold under that guise, so what is the deal. I am excited about the steps taken each day. I have tried to beat the previous days numbers. It is good to challenge yourself.

I purchased as a gift and it came just in time. Took 14 days after purchasing to arrive. I have it to my friend and it doesn't even work. I contacted company since not sold by walmart and they want to charge me to return. The fitbit is broken, I should not have to pay for anything more. Horrible customer service.
