Pros: It's kinda fun to track my activity throughout the day, and it's compatible with the Virgin Pulse reward program (sponsored through my job).

Cons: Tracking didn't seem to be accurate sometimes, even while it did work. In fact, sometimes it would stop working all together (even while it still held a charge). So I'd plug it back into the charger just for a second and it would come back on, but today it was completely unresponsive. I tried to reset it, but it won't turn on , light up, or do anything. The app on my phone no longer detects it. Returning...

Pros: Mobile and Website are modern looking, responsive, and inviting to browse.

Cons: No read out on the device.. only dots that blink to signify things (Good luck remembering)

Battery life is requiring charging every other day, and uses a proprietary connector that no one else but fitbit owners have.

inaccurate compared to hip worn trackers (when I was working on our apartment, had extra 25% steps compared to hip worn tracker)

the wrist piece breaks so easily, you'll need to super glue it back together over and over again. They fixed this in later versions of FitBit, but not here.. so be gentle when taking the piece in and out of the strap.

Other Thoughts: I think Fitbit knows what they're doing, but this device was an iteration on a arc of devices.. and I want something a bit more durable.

Pros: A cleverly designed tracking device. The rubber band is straight forward and surprisingly tough. I'm impressed on how well it monitors everything and overall does not cause any issues with my normal day to day. If you are counting calories and want to keep a solid grasp on how much you are burning a day. I believe this is the way to go.

The battery life on this thing is impressive, I only charged it once (when I first opened it) and its still going.

Cons: You do need to use their software to get the best result. There software is not bad but it means you need to use Fitbit.com for sure if you want the best results.

The first time setup attempts to be as straight forward as possible but as the device requires a PC or smartphone to be useful. No PC and No Smartphone means no information.

Be careful they are trying to get android support but at this time Android support is limited. Apple users are fine for the most part.

Pros: Bought as gift for my son as this is what he asked for

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: Arrived via USPS which is not the method I like I prefer FedEx or UPS

Pros: Bought as a gift for my son as this is what he asked for.

Cons: Shipped via USPS which I am not a fan of.

Other Thoughts: Shipped quickly.
