What is the best way to decide which FitBit device would work better for my lifestyle?

My experience is get the least expensive one. They do about the same thing-I have had multiple versions of the original, but all my chargers fit it. Otherwise I would just get a new one.

Yes. It syncs into an app on your computer. Very helpful. I actually upgraded to the fitbit one because I lost this model a few times. I love the fitbit one more securely attached. Yes more money but I replaced this one 3 times from losing it. Good luck

Nope, this is what I got from FitBit rep: "You only need 2 different fitbit.com accounts (created for free using unique Email addresses). Everything else can be the same (1 computer with 1 account for the computer, 1 base station, etc)." http://www.fitbit.com/forums/topic/GN77LDH3P34WY The base station and FitBit software has to be installed on your laptop. That part sucks, I have hooked our base station to HTPC, that way we don't have to plug & replug it all the time.

This is the site for instructions, use Web-based version. It is simple.https://help.fitbit.com/customer/portal/articles/878671

I'm sure you can use it with many different items. The loop might just need to be shortened. I personally use it strictly with my fitbit.

Hi, unfortunately this is not compatible with the Fitbit system; however, please note there is a manual upload for any entries you would like to add one at a time.

You can use FitBit anytime, anywhere you want. It doesnt matter what activity you are doing, FitBit works. I use it on the bicycle and eliptical all the time without a problem.

I've been using the original for a little over two years now. This is actually my second one (the first got accidentally put in the washing machine). I'm definitely looking at upgrading to the Ultra real soon and also getting one for my wife. I've also pre-ordered the Fitbit Aria Smart Scale that is due out in April. Check that item out on their website.

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.

After losing my spark tracker, I purchased the fitbit one. I have since found the spark tracker and I have been wearing both. The information tracked by both are similar. The fitbit also tracks sleep which is not a deal breaker for me. Both seem accurate with similar results. For me personally, I like the fitbit better for a couple of reasons. The fitbit uses bluetooth to sync to smartphone. I can look at my phone and know my activity status at any time. With the spark tracker, you need to be close to your computer to sync activity. I find that I am much more motivated to get more steps when I can look at progress. (so for me both track activity but fitbit motivated me to do more). One more thing that I prefer on fitbit is the clip. The spark tracker clip did not stay clipped very well so I would just slip in my pocket. I misplaced it a few times. The fitbit one has a rubber casing and the clip really grips. I have not lost it once. The real question for you will be if the differences are worth the extra money. For me, the fitbit was worth the extra money but that is totally a personal choice.

Have you contacted the Fitbit company directly. They are very helpful and may be able to help you out with problem.

The other answers covers everything quite well. I choose One for the reason that I wanted to see the DISPLAY and tell me in numbers on how I am doing in terms of calories+steps+floors. It gives actual numbers and it motivates me. The other reason is I do not want to wear it all 24 hours and wanted to take them out while I shower or go to the toilet. So One is the one for me. With flex there is no display in terms of numbers you need to sync the data and see the numbers and since its a wrist band you can wear it all 24 hours. And flex is good to show off to others ;) Otherwise both are good.

The wahoo app is pretty amazing. It allows you to customize workouts and which sensors to use. For indoor treadmill use, I have the heartrate monitor, but turn off GPS. For something outside, I like to track where I run so will turn on heartrate and gps. You can set up each workout under a different profile, and customize which displays you'd like to see. I like the one that shows my optimal fat burn heart rate. Oh, I almost forgot you can also set each profile to alert you. I have mine to alert me when my heart rate enters optimal fat burning zone, and also when it leaves it.

You need a home wifi network. Even then, it still may not connect. Look at the reviews. If you can get it connected to wifi, you then view your data by logging into Fitbit through your app or online. All the data goes to Fitbit by wifi.

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 am curious, did you call FitBit customer service? Kayla is right, they are amazing! I would like to know that this FitBit found its owner. :-)
