Anyone got a FitBit?

I am getting the Fit Bit Charge HR for my birthday and just wondering if anyone has one and if they like it or not and why.

my wife uses one. she gets a health credit through her work if she logs so many active minutes a week.

Is this a brand of ball gag?

No, no one. Your purchase will be the first of its kind.
Congratulations. Maybe they will write a book about you one day.

Randy, you know, I was wondering what happened to you after wrestling and Slim Jim's went out of style. I guess being sarcastic on message boards was the obvious progression for you.

My fiance has one, pretty much for the same reason as below. If she logs so many steps per day she gets a discount on health insurance. She likes it though.

Yes, and they cause a rash if you wear it too much. so it's marketed as full time activity and sleep tracking device but their official response to the rash issue is don't wear it so much. Google the rash issue and read all about it.

I like it ok. It feels weird wearing a watch and the fitbit at the same time, but other than that it's worth it, especially if you run a lot.
I'm to the point where I only wear it on running days. I'm not a fat arse, so I don't need to know how many steps I've taken during the course of the day.

Thanks for the info.

Yea, I run a good bit, like 3-4 times a week. I am getting the one with the time display so I don't have to wear a watch with it.

I have the same model, it also vibrates and displays the contact info of a incoming call.

I have a microsoft band and really like it. They are coming out with a newer version the end of this month as well.
Tracks steps, hr, calories burned. GPS tracking for doing runs/hikes/bike rides. Smart watch capabilities to sync up with your phone and show incoming calls, texts, emails, etc.
I basically wear it as my watch most days.

How much did that run you?
Posted on 10/14/15 at 12:03 pm to BIGDAB
$199 plus $20 for their warranty plan. That covers it if it breaks or you smash screen up or get it wet and ruin it any within the year. It came with a screen protector for it as well.
Part of the band started coming apart and I brought it into Microsoft store and they just swapped it out for a brand new one. So pay the extra $20
The new one will be $199 when it's released end of this month...so you could likely find the older one for like $100 I've heard.

Worn one daily since April, wife has worn one since January, no rash. That was a limited issue to mainly one tracker and was not the HR.
I love the Charge HR. It is a good motivational tool for those days when otherwise motivation is lacking.

What kind of phone do you have?
Posted on 10/14/15 at 12:13 pm to BIGDAB
Iphone. It will sync up with any phone though. If you have a windows phone you can use Cortana with it(it has a mic). So you can add stuff to your calender, alarms, etc whatever you do with Cortana by pressing a button on the band and talking to band.
