What is the difference betweent the flex and the 1st one? Buying for my daughter wondering if you can switch bands on both?

check out this website: http://www.fitbit.com/ it goes into detail about the differences. There was previously an issue with the FitBit Force, some people were getting a rash from it- If I were to by another one for myself I'd get the force, it has more features and it has the time on it-- if your daughter wears a watch this is a great choice (the force) if not go with the flex, it's small and still has great features!I know you can switch bands on the Flex and the Force- the Flex has more choices b/c it's older

I do not personally own the fitbit one. I believe it has interchangeable cases. I prefer the fitbit flex because it attaches easily as a bracelet and has hundreds of possible other cases. They do all the same things except the one counts how many flights of stairs someone does. But the flex just counts stairs as normal steps. the flex is also more water proof. I wear it in the shower with no problems. Where as your can't with the one.

Slendertone is the name of the company that makes both belts so it's a little confusing, but the flex model goes up to a higher intensity level 1-150, the other model (grey in color) goes from 1-99. I've only gotten up to about 80 intensity in my use so far, but u gradually increase it as you become more experienced. I like the Flex, never tried the other one.

Hi Matt, i'm not quite sure of the wrist band size but I replaced the rubber one that came with with. I used a regular stretch band from another wrist watch I own. As far as I know they are all interchangeable. Used a set of precision screwdrivers to change it out. Defenetly an upgrade from the original. Only takes a couple of min. to do. Rick

Hi. Yes you can. To help you. Please try these sites with videos. WWW.YouTube.com/watch ?v=sjojhmewyoc. Or WWW.YouTube.com/watch?v=Irwbikfiumu. Just a reminder you can only use one band at a time

I used Gold's Gym ones I got at Wal-Mart or Target. They aren't the same as the ones they use in the video, but as long a you have a band I don't think it makes a big difference.

We have both, my daughter likes them both the same. This one seems easier to use.

With this new formula, go with the heavier blue or black band. The lighter ones are more slippery than the heavier bands. Also the heavier bands don't break as easily

There is a significant difference in function between One and Flex. One measures steps, miles, floors climbed (stairs), calories burned (based on steps I think), and time of day. All of this is displayed on the front of the device at the press of a button. You can also monitor your sleep. You get an average of 7-10 days out of the battery: I charge mine once a week and it is usually not even down by 50%. Flex collects data on everything listed for One except it does not count floors (stairs) climbed. None of the data collected displays on the device; to access data you have to log in to your Fitbit account or download an app to your phone and pull it up and synch it. Flex has a battery life of approximately 5 days (I did get 7 out of mine once). Flex is supposed to be waterproof, or at least water resistant. I have not tested this so I don't konw what level of immersion it will tolerate; the times water has gotten between my wrist and the device it gets into the opening on the underside of the band where the data device sits and it doesn't dry out until you remove the device. In my personal experience Flex does not count steps as accurately as One, even if you do the stride length and is less accurate with non-running/walking activities such as bicycling. I also find Flex undercounts steps on the treadmill more than regular walking, regardless of whether or not you move your arm. I think the low rating of Flex is related to it being priced the same as One and Ultra but it does not offer the same features, level of technology, or accuracy. Each generation of Fitbit devices have shown improvement in features and technology until Flex. Flex actually has fewer features but is priced the same. I am sure there is a niche in the market for Flex but biggest bang for your buck is with One, and I say this as someone who has both.

You must have the 'tracker' that comes with the Flex. It's a small bean-like item that is standard issue when you purchase the Flex. Hope this helps.

I would just buy whatever is good for you. You might want to buy 2 bands and then you can use an easier and harder, as you like. There is no requirement for how difficult the band is, but you want something you can do repetitive exercises with without burning out your arms and legs right away.

Not at all. 2 is much better than 3 and for me i love sound fly better than flex mart since ur had mic comes with it and people can hear you batter. At least my wife does :)

I have the bun and thigh rocker and they work perfectly on that and the original bands look just like the bands for the firm flex I would say these bands are much better quality than the original bands at least they haven't broken yet and the original bands did not last long.

Mine broke after about a month. started with blue.. it broke went to red and it broke (green is too light for me)I purchased the 4 band set from home complete. They feel thicker and as of yet they haven't broke.

Actually, they are Generation 2. I emailed Emotiva to ask this question specifically about this Amazon ad. They assured me that even though the picture doesn't show it, they "are Generation 2...we no longer have or sell Generation 1 [flex amps]." So, it's the same amp you'd get direct from Emotiva currently. This communication was today.

I don't have a force, but they look different from the flex if you look on their website. I would assume they're different by the appearances.

No.. the fitbit flex has a removable unit, for charging.. so the Flex ids removed for the band.. the Force is all 1 unit, & can't be removed. I looked at that when I was buying The unit.. the force has a display , the flex does the same with led dots.. but no clock.. If you have a smartphone, you can see all the data on that.. Sorry, but your stuck with the color you have for now.. Maybe someone can invent a colored sleeve to go over the band..

These are just the wristbands, you use them WITH the fitbit flex YOU ALREADY HAVE.
