Be My Fitbit Friend? May 31, 2013 5:59 AM Subscribe
I got a fitbit, and I'm excited about it. (A fitbit is basically a pedometer that syncs with your computer to keep track of how active you are. It has been discussed on MetaTalk before*) But the "friends" tab on my dashboard is lonely. I have no one to compare myself to! Fellow fitbitting mefites, let's be fitbit friends! Here's my profile; please friend me. If you'd like more fitbit friends, put a link to your fitbit profile in the comments** so you can join in on the fitbit friending frenzy.***
*Here's the previous thread, but it's been over a year, and I imagine that some of the folks who participated in that thread don't really use their fitbits anymore, and some people have gotten a fitbit since then.
**Or, if you've added fitbit to the "Also On" section of your MeFi profile, just say so.
***There is a MetaFilter group on fitbit, but as far as I can tell, groups are kind of useless there, because you don't see group activity on the dashboard, just friend activity.

I honestly don't know yet, as I've only had mine a week or so. I got the fitbit zip, by the way, which is much less expensive than the other models. It only keeps track of steps and how active you are (i.e., whether you're being sedentary, very active, lightly active, etc.). It might be a good choice if the price tag of the other options gives you pause.

The clip style doesn't work for me. Some of my bra's won't hold a clipped thingy securely and I frequently have neither belt nor pockets. (I'm also shaped wrong for anything to ever clip to a waistband or belt.) I had the Weight Watchers extra cheap version of a fitbit and lost it because of that.

I'm kind of torn between the Fitbit Flex and the UP by Jawbone. (Assuming I can bring myself to spend the money in the first place.) Does the Fitbit community make much of a difference in how useful the device is?
I bought an UP right after version 2 came out. Don't buy one. The bracelet was great, the app was great, the features are awesome (the "wake me when I'm stirring" alarm alone was worth it for me), but after just a few months of daily use, the battery stopped holding a charge. They still haven't worked out their production issues. I even pointedly did not shower in mine, even though they say you can.
Jawbone's got a good reputation, and I'm sad that they didn't work out the problems this release, but this isn't ready for use yet. Which sucks, because I loved the features and the app.
Apple's also evidently working on wearable tech, but there are zero rumors it will come out for WWDC this year, and who knows if it will have a fitness component.

I've been debating which to go with as well, and I'm leaning towards the UP.
I'm not really in it for the social aspect. The UP looks better, and has prettier graphs, double the battery life, and most importantly has the Smart Alarm feature which I have grown to really like a LOT over the last couple of weeks.
I'll have to get over its drawbacks, I suppose. I wouldn't be surprised if the next Gen fixes the lack of computer integration / wireless syncing support.

I love my Fitbit One, which clips to every bra I own- securely, in the middle. It's unobtrusive and syncs to my iPhone via Bluetooth and the whole design of it just works. I've been wearing it daily for months now. I am (not competitive, not athletic, and) here.
Another great thing about Fitbit is that it syncs to Health Month, which is an overall-wellness motivation site (not just fitness-diet-weightloss).

Again, not to hammer my previous comment down everyone's throats, but the batteries just flat die after a few months of wear for a lot of users. Example.
I agree that feature-wise it's better in every way other than no wireless sync, but you stand a good chance of it croaking on you in less than a year.

I can second the comments about the poor production quality of the Up. After a long wait while they "worked out the issues", I bought a second generation one. The batteries failed within a couple months. Getting it replaced was a huge hassle, and the second one died within weeks. I took it back to Apple (where I bought it), and thankfully they gave me my money back.
I've got a FitBit Flex on order, and will check in here to friend you fine people as soon as it arrives.

I have noticed that if I am bouncing/walking around in the elevator as it rises, I will sometimes accumulate floors that I didn't actually work for. But, on the other hand, Fitbit has no way of knowing about resistance (such as if the steps I'm taking are while pushing a wheelbarrow full of bricks up the driveway, or instead while stumbling from the couch to the fridge and back), so I think it all works out in the end.

I love my fitbit zip, which I bought because I didn't want to wait for the fitbit flex to come out.
Now I really want the fitbit flex, but I'm not sure I can justify the cost. I wish it did stairs, then it would be easy!
Now I can be publicly shamed by my lack of steps! :P

The worst part is that you can't have two active devices at once, so I can't have my fitbit flex and the other one for climbing stairs versus other stuff occasions.

I have the One, and started with the older model before that. I had a couple of problems with the older version: the first device just stopped working (I, uh, apparently sweat too much for it to handle), and the second stopped charging one day for no good reason. Both iMessage, Fitbit sent me a free replacement, and the second time I got an upgrade because they'd stopped supporting the other. Their customer service is awesome.
The One has held up through long runs (10-12 miles) and desert life quite well for several months now. I love it.

Another Jawbone Up datapoint: got my first one at the end of November last year but had to replace it in February due to poor production quality issues. Same issues are now starting to show on my replacement. I don't think I can my money back at this point so I'll keep asking for replacements. Maybe they'll get the hint and fix the issue.
The Up easily looks the best out of all the fitness trackers and I really like the vibrating idle alert and the sleep tracking. I always got a full week's worth of use on each charge but I only hit about 10K steps each day. To be honest, it doesn't do that much for its price and I've been disappointed with the build quality. I cannot recommend the second generation of the Up to anyone.

Finding it pretty easy to hit 5000 steps a day just walking to work and back. I was doing some exterior house painting this weekend and racked up over 18,000 and 11,000 on Saturday and Sunday respectively. Really explains why I weighed 175 pounds back when I was a professional house painter and weigh 225 now that I'm a software engineer. Hoping to split the difference and hit around 200 by the fall.

I'm a little offended that he doesn't think that murdering is good exercise. It follows a vigorous aerobic whole-body chasing/stabbing workout with deadlifting, then the shallow-grave digging really strengthens your core.

While I'm here, I'll mention that I lost my Fitbit One about two weeks after I got it (for Xmas). I was on a business trip and it must have fallen out of my pocket.
I emailed Fitbit to see if they had any low-cost replacement options, and they sent be a new One for free. Hooray for customer service!

Here I am, incredibly late to the party.
I just have to remember to wear it every day.

Whew, I think I've friended you all now. Of course, today I had to take it off to let it charge for an hour or so and I am distraught at all the steps my fitbit missed!

Well, the battery issues scared me off from the Up, and I'm taking other posters' word that the One is bra-friendy, so here I am.

My bra of choice is a decent exposures bra which is not quite a jogbra but is on the sports bra side of the lingerie spectrum. No problem clipping my FitBit One to the bra, though, leaving it tucked in my cleavage.

Thank you for mentioning Decent Exposures! I have wanted to order something from them, but couldn't remember their name, and googling was getting me nowhere.

I am finally be-fitbitted again, so here's me. I'm trying to get started on a Couch to 5k, and I (as of recently) don't own a car, so hopefully I can actually make my 10,000 step goal. I've only ever tried to do 5,000 before and didn't usually hit it.
