Questions & Answers
The following items were included in our box: I didn't see anywhere in the description that the silicone case or sleep band were included, so I bought the package because those items were listed as suggested items to complement my purchase for a discounted price. After all, it wasn't like I needed to. We realized we didn't need the extra items after Hubby ripped open the packages, so I guess we'll keep them in case the wristband's sticky wears out.
The functions of One and Flex are vastly different. Steps, miles, floors climbed (stairs), calories burned (I believe based on steps), and time of day are all taken into consideration. At the touch of a button, all of this information is displayed on the device's front. You can also keep track of how much sleep you're getting. On average, you get a score of 7 out of ten. After 10 days of use, the battery needs to be replaced. I charge mine once a week and it usually doesn't get any lower than 50%. Flex tracks everything except the number of floors (stairs) climbed, as it does for One. None of the data collected is displayed on the device; instead, you must log in to your Fitbit account or download a Fitbit app to your phone, pull it up, and sync it. Flex has a battery life of about 5 days (though I once got 7 out of mine). Flex is supposed to be waterproof or water resistant at the very least. I haven't tried it yet, so I'm not sure how much immersion it can take. Water gets into the opening on the underside of the band where the data device sits when it gets between my wrist and the device, and it doesn't dry out until you remove the device. Flex does not count steps as accurately as One, even if you do the stride length, and is less accurate with non-running steps. Bicycling, for example, is a type of running/walking activity. Flex, regardless of whether or not you move your arm, undercounts steps on the treadmill more than regular walking, in my opinion. I believe Flex's low rating stems from the fact that it is priced similarly to One and Ultra, but it lacks the same features, technological level, and accuracy. Until Flex, Fitbit devices had improved in terms of features and technology with each successive generation. Flex has fewer features than Flex, but it is the same price. Flex may have a niche in the market, but One offers the best bang for your buck, and I say this as someone who owns both.
The answer is yes to the question of whether the Fitbit has a calorie counter. When you set up your Fitbit, you'll need to create an account on their website, which includes the ability to track your food intake as one of its features. I don't like the Fitbit food database, so I use myfitnesspal instead. To keep track of my food intake, I use com and the accompanying app on my phone. Myfitnesspal's food database is far superior to any other food database I've used. The nice thing is that you can track your food intake in Myfitnesspal and have it set up to send your calorie counts to the Fitbit website, which syncs flawlessly and instantly. I'm blown away by how well these two sites complement each other. So, while you can track calories using the Fitbit site, some other sites will integrate with Fitbit, allowing you to avoid being locked into their system. I hope this has provided you with the information you require.
They have more feminine colored bands, and even the black one isn't too noticeable. If you don't want to wear anything on your wrist, the FitBit One, which you can wear under your clothes, is a great option. I'm pretty sure you have to put the flex on your arm because it's only calibrated for arm movement.
Selected User Reviews For Fitbit One Wireless Activity Plus Sleep Tracker, Black
software that is based on the internet I bought two of these; the build quality is better than most other Fitbits (hence 2 stars instead of 1), but the display is difficult, if not impossible, to read in bright sunlight on a sunny day. Fitbit has unfortunately discontinued this model, and the current listed price of $267 is a rip-off. Amazon should remove the one product recommendation at this price and limited availability (I paid about $80 for mine). At Fitbit, there's also the accompanying software. com (the dashboard and the community activity groups) are poorly maintained, with essential parts going down for weeks to months at a time, and minor bugs never getting fixed despite being reported. It's important to note that these issues with Fitbit's support software affect all of their devices, not just the 'One. ' My advice is to look for a different manufacturer until Fitbit gets its act together.
The Fitbit One is, in my opinion, the best fitness tracker ever created! I'm so disappointed that they're no longer producing it! It's unfortunate that Amazon has taken advantage of this by more than tripling the price of the original Fitbit One. It's only so expensive now because it's no longer manufactured, which means they won't be able to support it. It'll be phased out by Fitbit in the near future.
Before writing a review, I wanted to get some use out of it. I'm still a huge fan of theirs. br>br>First and foremost - The Fitbit One was my choice because a. ) It received positive feedback, and b. ) I wanted something that did both sleep tracking and didn't require me to wear an unsightly bracelet on my wrist (which ruled out Zip). I keep this in my pocket or clipped to my bra most of the time. In both cases, it's a winner. ACCURATE: br>br>ACCURATE: br>br>ACCURATE: br>br>ACC I walked around counting my steps when I first got it (and a few times since), then checked with the Fitbit - Whether I wear it on my wrist, clipped to my bra, or in my pocket, it's always been within 3 steps of how many steps I counted out of 50. I just put it on my wrist and vigorously shook my hand back and forth 20 times, and it added 8 steps to the system, so if you really want to cheat the system, you can - Shaking on extra steps, on the other hand, will almost certainly take more effort than simply walking. I haven't had any issues with it accumulating a large number of steps after car rides. I had a baby six months ago and have discovered that bouncing up and down to calm a fussy baby counts as a step, which I'm fine with - It's similar to jogging in a stationary position. The feature that shows how many floors you've climbed appears to be fairly accurate - I haven't actually spent a day counting how many times I go up and down our stairs to compare it, and I believe it sometimes counts walking up a steep hill as a flight of stairs (which I'm fine with), but my flight count is significantly higher on days when I'm cleaning the house and thus going up and down stairs more frequently than usual. The accuracy with which it calculates your distance is determined by how precisely you set your stride length - I think the simplest way to make sure it's set correctly is to go for a walk and set the GPS tracker on your phone if you have one, then check and see what your Fitbit is telling you and adjust accordingly once you get to 1 mile on the GPS. SLEEP TRACKER: SLEEP TRACKER is a sleep tracker that allows you to keep track of how much sleep you get. It's cool because it tells you when you're "asleep" (i. e. not moving), "restless," and "awake" - There are two settings: sensitive and normal; apparently, normal is when it's on your wrist, and sensitive is when it's in a pocket or something (because some pajamas have pockets - You know, for when you need to keep things safe while sleeping. ) Because I wear it on my wrist, I set it to normal, but I experimented with sensitive for a while to see if it worked better - It just freaked me out when it said that I only slept for half of my time in bed - Even though I had never felt tired or sleep deprived before, I began to wonder if I was truly tired and unwell rested. Just follow the directions and don't get too worked up about it. It will frequently display "restless" times during the night when I am unquestionably awake nursing - It also doesn not coach you in sleeping well - I guess there is a certain movement threshold you have to pass in order to be considered "awake", so it is Basically, it just shows you the raw data from your night. (which has proven to be extremely beneficial when it comes to nursing - It's nice to be able to see trends in how long the baby sleeps, how often we get up, how long we're actually up for, and so on without having to keep track of it while I'm half asleep). On the app, you can set goals for how much sleep you want to get each night and track your progress. waking up and going to bed- up times. It's simple to put the fitbit into sleep mode (you simply hold down the button until it buzzes), and if you forget to do so one night or accidentally let it run well into the morning, it's simple to go into the app and adjust the times. The silent alarms are one of my favorite features. I wasn't convinced that a buzzing on my wrist would wake me up - However, it functions admirably, and my husband appreciates the lack of noise. There is no such thing as a snooze button - This is beneficial to me because I'm one of those people who snoozes five times a day - This forces me to set a reasonable time for getting up and doing it (though, to be honest, I set a second alarm 10 minutes later just in case). ) You can set as many alarms as you want and have them go off on any day you want, for example, if you want to set alarms to remind you to get up and move around every hour or have an alarm that only wakes you up onbr>br> * Note: The sleep wristband that comes with the Fitbit isn't something I particularly like. After a few months, the velcro began to pull it apart, so I cut the top off one of my husband's socks and wore it folded in thirds on my wrist with the fitbit tucked inside - that worked OK for a while, but the fitbit slipped out on occasion. Now I have a cheap silicone wristband made by a 3rd party that fits the Fitbit in it - It performs admirably. DURABILITY: BR>BR>DURABILITY: BR>BR>DURABILITY: BR>BR>DURABILITY: BR My Fitbit has been washed twice and dried once by accident. It managed to make it through. The spin cycle was also counted as active time. Even after a week or more, the charge is still present. I wouldn't recommend leaving your Fitbit in the washer, but it has held up well in the rain and heat. I wear it while working out, and it has never seemed to have any issues with sweat. It's been over a year and it's still functioning as it did when I first got it. The silicone clip's little plastic piece on the back broke two weeks ago - I superglued it back together and it's holding up well so far. Without that small piece of plastic, the clip would still be somewhat functional - It would just have a poky metal part protruding from it. However, if branding is important to you, you can purchase third-party replacement clips for $5 or pay 3X more for the official Fitbit replacement clip. APP - br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br I'm a big fan of this app. I've tested it on a Samsung tablet (Android) as well as an iPhone, and it works flawlessly on both. You can set daily goals, see how much of your daily goal you've met, view weekly/monthly/quarterly historical graphs, track your weight, amount of water drank, calories, and so on. I also like that you can delete items you don't want on it - For example, because I don't keep track of my calories, I removed that tile from my app so it wouldn't take up space. There's a place in the settings to indicate whether you're pregnant or nursing - I'm not sure what that accomplishes - My guess is that it increases your daily calorie intake - When it tells you how many calories you've burned, it may take this into account. I don't participate in the part about friends and competitions - However, there is a platform where you can connect with people you know and create small competitions or group goals - Honestly, the idea of me seeing what everyone else is doing while everyone else sees what I'm doing isn't very appealing, but if you set a goal with a friend or family member, it could be fun accountability. br>br>IMPACT ON YOUR LIFE: Self-awareness is essential. This will not make you healthier on its own. I bought it because I enjoy keeping track of things, and it allowed me to make my activity more enjoyable - I set goals for myself and track how close I am to achieving them on a daily basis - which serves as a powerful motivator for me - If I'm still 4000 steps short of my daily step goal at 8 p. m. , I'm much more likely to suggest we go for a walk. After dinner, go for a walk. Because I'm keeping track of it, I've been drinking a lot more water. It helped me track my activity level throughout my pregnancy and is now helping me see how getting back in shape afterward is going. I'm also glad I'll have this archived so that if I get pregnant again, I can compare how I did this time to how I did this time. If you're anything like me, you'll find it to be a powerful motivator. If you're a competitive person, competing with your friends to get one of these might work, or having an accountability partner who can see your daily activity might help you stay motivated. If none of those things appeal to you, this is probably not a wise investment, but it is a well-made item.
I'm not going to buy another one from Amazon! I had my old Fitbit One for a few years when it began to malfunction. I figured it'd be a good idea to get a new one just in case my old one broke down. My old Fitbit eventually stopped working two months after I purchased the backup. I went to charge my new Fitbit that I had just taken out of the box. I charged it for 4 hours and then went to check if it was fully charged by pressing the top button, but it wouldn't turn on. I'm irritated that I paid $106 for a useless device. I went to see if I could return the item, but there is no option to do so. This is a complete waste of money!.
For the first six months, the Fitbit One was fantastic. Our friendship was fantastic. My Fitbit tracked my steps as I walked, hopped, salsaed, and shimmed. It. was. a pleasing combination MUAH! Oh, my goodness, it was fantastic! My Fitbit had stopped syncing and I had no idea why. We had to attend a lot of counseling sessions. We were finally back in our honeymoon phase (excuse me, troubleshooting). My baby began to spaz, and I discovered that he was a cheap piece of CRAP the next day. If you speak with his cousins, you'll learn a lot about him. Zip, HR, and charge are all Fitbit products. You'll discover that this family isn't as glamorous as they seem. For a few months, it's fun, but then it crashes and burns! over. rated.
