Anyone use either of the devices? Was looking at the FItbit Force and Jawbone Up24. Curious if anyone has any feedback regarding the two.
Agree but why would you ask him for a review?Ask Otis. I'd bet good money he has both.
I am sure he has read a lot about them, probably started a thread on each of them too.Agree but why would you ask him for a review?Ask Otis. I'd bet good money he has both.
Bumping for more info as well. My wife wants one that interacts with her iPhone. I've been looking at the Fitbit, UP24, and Fuelband SE. Not sure which is better, from a woman's perspective. Is one lighter/less bulkier than the other? Easier to use? I've read a few reviews, but each one seems to be written by an Android lover (Fuelband lacks Android app) or some other biased opinion. Would love to hear real life experiences, if anyone has some to share.any updates on this? my gf was talking about a wristband that would track body activity and work as a vibrating alarm, so I started researching as a birthday gift. It seems like the jawbone UP was the thing (or type of thing) she was talking about. Wondering if it is worth it.
I've had the Force since January. Yeah, it was recalled because some people got a skin reaction. I didn't so I kept it.AcerFC said:Any updates here. My wife wants a fitbit. Want to get it for her birthday.
Reading negatives about its lifespan. Can anyone give some feeback
Eta: looks like.force is no longer made. So looking at the flex
These are now available on the Fitbit site. I imagine Gizmodo and the other usual suspects should have reviews in a week or so.Fitbit should be announcing an expanded project line in the very near future. Several advertisements have already leaked.

$199 is cheaper than what of fitbit's offerings?Fitbit's current lineup is basically irrelevant with the MS Band now out. The band offers more sensors and more versatility for a cheaper price.
Looking at the I'm interested in the Up24 as wellGoing to give the Jawbone Up24 a spin.![]()
Edit: Was talked out of the Vivofit due to syncing issues with MyFitnessPal.
Jawbone just announced a new product line (the UP3) today.Going to give the Jawbone Up24 a spin.![]()

I just got one of these too. I use a Garmin watch for running, so it was nice to keep everything lined up with the apps I'm already using (Garmin Connect and myfitnesspal, which seems to sync fine btw).Wife bought me the garmin vivosmart
Not only does it calculate steps, calories, the typical fitness stuff, it syncs to your cell giving you alerts to emails and texts
It's where the smart watches are headed
The vivosmart does. You have to tap the display but it gives you the time and date.Any of these tell time yet? Would love a minimalistic wrist fitness tracker that also just had a small display that told time.
Many of them do, though not typically the sub $100 ones.Any of these tell time yet? Would love a minimalistic wrist fitness tracker that also just had a small display that told time.
Charge will probably be my next one after my Flex dies.I wouldn't mind trying out one of these Fitbit chargeHR or these Microsoft band
Do you run?my wife bought me a fitbit zip for fathers day and ive lost 25 lbs since then
havent had any issues with the clip although plenty of others have
my wife has the force and digs it. I don't wear a watch and don't like wearing any jewelry so the force is out for me.
we have the fitbit scale too which is sweet to have all of that tracked in your app
I was talking to a vendor today and he swears by this polar heartrate sensor
http://www.polar.com/us-en/products/accessories/H7_heart_rate_sensor
Does anyone use one of those?
I know the new fitbits releasing soon will have the heartbeat monitor but they are all worn on the wrist.
I like the functions the Microsoft band has but it is way to bulky to wear all the time. I'm waiting to see the Up3 before deciding on my next band.I wouldn't mind trying out one of these Fitbit chargeHR or these Microsoft band
What does the apple health app have that the fitbit app doesn't? I think fitbit would have more to lose integrating into a OS than apple has to win by keeping fitbit out imo.The Flying Turtle said:The fitbit will not link with the Apple Health application and won't anytime soon.

You can still use the Fitbit Application (unless Apple decided to pull it).
Just got one of these. Alerts dont seem to be working. Any tips?I just got one of these too.

It's a nice little piece of tech.
