The color I chose is a burnt sienna coral and the edges are dirty. I have seen navy and gray on people and those look good. Of course black hides everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-fitbit#post-2141567 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 04:31:10 +0000 Mrs. Coral 2141567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chillybear: Awesome, thanks so much for the response!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-fitbit#post-2141389 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 19:27:03 +0000 Chillybear 2141389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Coral: I love mine and I'm so glad I waited until the HR came out. I wear it everyday and I connect using my phone and my work computer. My desktop only connects if I log in on my phone but I think that's because the fit bit dongle is on my laptop. The only thing you won't be able to do is track walks or runs with GPS. But the screen on the Fitbit will tell you time/steps/hr/miles/stairs. Battery life is 3-4 days I charge it during my commute. I love that it tracks my sleep because it also tells me when LO wakes up and how long. I track food through my fitness pal and it works seamlessly. I love that I can set a vibrating alarm and that it vibrates when I get phone calls. All in all I really can't think of anything negative that I dislike about it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-fitbit#post-2141354 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 18:57:02 +0000 Mrs. Coral 2141354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chillybear: @bisous: @Mrs. Yoyo: How are you guys liking your Charge HRs 6 weeks later? I think I'm going to take the plunge. </p> <p>I have a super old iPhone 4 that is several operating systems behind and don't have enough memory to update--and I don't want a new phone! Since I can't download the Fitbit app, I would use the Windows based dashboard on my computer. Have any of you use that? Curious as to how that works. Thank you!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-fitbit#post-2086292 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 09:30:53 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2086292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ended up with contact dermatitis from my fitbit. A month later that model was recalled. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-fitbit#post-2086240 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 09:03:03 +0000 CarDad 2086240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have had the FitBit One for two years and have not missed a day with it. I love having it as a constant reminder to be more active. The wrist based trackers are not as accurate if tracking steps is your goal. However they are probably better at tracking upper body based exercise. FitBit has awesome customer service too. Battery life is about two weeks on a charge and it syncs with my phone so it is really convenient. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-fitbit#post-2086206 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 08:46:47 +0000 Chillybear 2086206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been using the Charge HR for about a month now and I love it. Having it track heart rate is super helpful and i really like the fitbit dashboard and phone app. I use my fitness pal to track food. </p> <p>I got it through REI's website and got a $20 GC, free shipping, points on my REI account and Ebates so shop around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-fitbit#post-2086168 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 08:18:23 +0000 Anagram 2086168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been looking at the FitBit Zip....reviews on amazon are better than the other FitBits, plus it's cheaper. I just want something to encourage me to move a little more, because my nausea is finally starting to get a little better and I need to do more than just sit in 1 place all day long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-fitbit#post-2086163 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 08:01:41 +0000 bisous 2086163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love my Fitbit Flex and am switching to the Charge with a HR monitor this week. My husband bought it for me and is going to take my Flex. Definitely so motivating to keep me active. When I started I had an average of 3k-5k steps a day. Now I do around 9k on average. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-fitbit#post-2086143 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 07:36:56 +0000 artsyfartsy 2086143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Yoyo: That's the one I was looking at! Yeah I definitely want one with a HR monitor. </p> <p>@hellobeeboston: Thank you! If I get one I will definitely join! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-fitbit#post-2086128 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 07:14:43 +0000 hellobeeboston 2086128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the ONE, I just put it in my pocket, didn't want to wear on my wrist. Some of my workout pants don't have pockets so then I have to clip it on. I really like it! Since getting pregnant I haven't been working out as much but I'm planning on getting back in. We have a small HelloBee fitbit group going to motivate if you get one and want to join! @artsyfartsy: </p> <p>Oh I also like the food tracking. It's a pain at first then it's easier! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-fitbit#post-2085999 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 22:33:47 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 2085999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love mine, but for something like kickboxing I would definitely get one with HR monitor. I have the charge HR and it does a nice job of tracking how hard I worked. The others won't do as great a job tracking something that isn't primarily step-based. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-fitbit#post-2085988 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 22:26:39 +0000 travellingbee 2085988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the flex and I love it. I mostly am doing walking and cardio so it's perfect. It isn't good for tracking other kinda of exercise like riding a bike. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-fitbit#post-2085915 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 21:34:23 +0000 artsyfartsy 2085915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've seen them brought up on HB a lot. I finally signed up for private kickboxing lessons (Yay me!! That was a big step for myself) and after looking into them Id really like one to track my activity. I'm focusing on being more active in general along with exercise. </p> <p>Which one do you have? Is the most expensive one necessarily better? What features are important vs not important? </p>
