NWR: Fitbit?

Are they worth it? I have a garmin watch I wear when I work out that tracks heart rate and all that (minus steps unless I have it active) but it's so bulky I hate wearing it after I work out unless I'm staying in workout clothes, I know #firstworldproblems.

Are they worth it? I have a garmin watch I wear when I work out that tracks heart rate and all that (minus steps unless I have it active) but it's so bulky I hate wearing it after I work out unless I'm staying in workout clothes, I know #firstworldproblems. I was looking at the fitbit Alta, it looks slim enough that I could get away with wearing it everyday and that with my watch. And it looks like it has a silent alarm so it would just wake me up and not FH. FH has been dealing with my 5am alarms for the past month and I hate that it wakes him up.

    I love my fit bit! I have the charge HR and like everyone said it does keep you in check!

    So I caved and bought the charge HR. I was on night shift for over a year. And just started school back full time with wedding planning and have put on some weight so I'm going to use this and my fitness pal and hopefully get some results. Thanks guys!

    I got a Flex last year. I liked it so much that I upgraded to a Blaze as soon as it came out, and am considering Alta as well. Fitbit makes a solid product that works, and the app is well written (desktop and android).

    I have the Charge HR. I've only just started using it regularly and I love it!

    I just got the Alta! I've never had a fitness tracker before so I can't compare it to anything. I really liked that it wasn't overly bulky, especially since I am in a job where I'm often in business professional attire. The clock feature as well as notifications when you receive calls/texts also made it appealing for during the work day.

    It's only been 2 days but I like the regular reminders to get up and walk around. I also really like the alarm feature. It worked perfectly for me this morning!

    I love the little encouragement messages too. As I'm typing this I get a message saying I was an overachiever today. Oh thanks, Fitbit Smiley smile

    I just got the Alta last week. I love that it gives me little buzz reminders when I don't move enough. I like it better than the flex. I went for a bike ride and it automatically recognizes that and tracks it. I'm happy with it and find it helps me stay motivated.

    I had the zip and rarely used it. I always left it on the pants I wasn't wearing. I have a Flex and I really like it. I basically find the sleep data the most interesting though.

    I've had the Flex for almost 2 years and love it! When you use all of the features (water, tracking calories, etc) it really makes such a difference. I lost a lot of weight using just my fitbit to track everything.. I've been slacking lately Smiley sad but intend to get back into it. FH has the Charge HR and he loves it, a little too bulky for my taste though. I just ordered the Alta and it should hopefully be here this weekend, I'm so excited!

    The best feature IMO is the fact that you can have friends, it really encourages me to move when I see family and friends moving a lot more than I am. My coworkers and I do weekly challenges and it's tons of fun and gets our butts moving.

    I loved my Fitbit charge. A great tracker for steps, I also liked the silent alarm feature. Too bad I lost multiple times because the strap sucks and it constantly fell off. FH lost his as well along with many of our friends and family. Of 9 people who got them Christmas 2014, only 2 still have their original fitbits. They are good about replacing them though.
