Well I'm looking on the website and all that but I'm totally confused .... So does it sync with your phone ? If so is it only an android thing? Coz I have iPhone? Pros cons of different ones ???

Bit more info..Fitbit flex can only really measure steps and sleep.. It's makes up all this other crap like calories burnt etc.. You can use the app to record water and food intake.. But that takes a lot of effort.. The flex only has 5 LEDs which represent how close you are to your daily target (10,000 steps by default)..The newer fitbit charge doubles as a watch.. Looks better.. I think it can also do heart rate (could be wrong).. Gives you an exact pedometer reading at any point.. Did I mention it doubles as a watch so you aren't wearing a useless skinny band on your wrist?If you do some reading some people reckon the offerings from Garmin aren't bad either.. But they do full GPS tracking of run/cycle routes etc..Oh if you're really keen you can get fitbit scales which also sync to your smartphone and allow you to track your weight..And.. This is the main reason I have a flex.. For tracking my sleep..It's not 100% accurate... But it gives a pretty good indication what your night was like.

I was looking at the charge because of the watch feature and also the sleep monitoring, would be very curious to see what it comes up with.

Though I would buy a watch with GPS. Do your research as there is heaps getting in before the apple watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
