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.

after wearing this model (which has since been discontinued), the dull finish wore off. now, it is shiny in some places and dull in others. it looks terrible, shabby, worn! I contacted the manufacturer and they basically said, "Oh, well!" and deleted my account information (at my request). I am now selling it at a loss.

I bought the FitBit Ultra about 3 weeks ago directly from FitBit and use it in conjunction with LoseIt.com for weight loss management. Unfortunately, I have found that the FitBit records steps when I ride my bicycle. No way to turn it off, though you can go through a convoluted process to "blank out" the time you were on your bike and not have those steps count. Too much time keeping exercise. They simply need to add a way to turn the darn thing off and back on. It's really not of much use for my purposes. It was a pretty expensive mistake for me. Should have read more about it.

To "TXBOOKReadingMom" Why didn't you take it back to the grocery store the next day? Or call them and let them know you have it in case someone called looking for it?

Have you tried to post in the fitbit forum? On their website, it has a forum where you could post. Not sure if you have to sin up or not to post. I bet Amy would be happy to have it back.

does it have a serial number? seems that Customer Service may be able to look up owner that way

Hope you don't mind if I ask a quick question. I found a Fitbit recently in our grocery parking lot. Didn't know what it was when I picked it up, tried to turn it in to the grocery lost and found but they had gone home for the night. Brought it home and pressed the button, to which it replied "Hello Amy". I immediately put it on my subdivision's website for "Lost and Found - electronic gadget. Call to identify..." stating where i found it and that it is associated with the name "Amy". No responses. Put the same info on my FB in case any of my neighbors weren't on the website. Still no responses. I am assuming someone is bummed because they lost this neat, expensive little device. Any ideas how to get it back to them? Hope you don't mind if I ask a quick question.

Kolin would love to hear what you think when you start using Aria. Noticed on the Amazon website that the Fitbit Ultra is now $155. I got a Fitbit Ultra for me and also my daughter. When I ordered it about a month ago it was $99 each. I noticed that they had a Fitbit for $87. I am assuming that the one for $87 is the first one (or old one). You said you had both. I was wanting to recommend it to a friend. Do you feel that there is much differene between Fitbit & Fitbit Ultra.

The fitbit one is water resistant whereas the fitbit ultra, apparently, is not. Additionally the fitbit one syncs automatically with some phones whereas the fitbit ultra only syncs when you are close to a base station thing you have to plug into our computer. Finally, the fitbit one has a silent alarm (it vibrates to wake you up), it's a little bit smaller than the ultra, and you can't clip it directly to your clothes like you can with the ultra so you have to use the holster that it comes with. It seems like a lot of people have had trouble with the one falling out of the holster, though, so be really careful to wear it somewhere you won't lose it.

I have the same problem and if you go to http://www.everythingq.com/ and sign on to the forum you'll see othe rpeople complain about the same thing.I am however thinking of investing in the ultra battery.Seems like a good investment.

The Fitbit has an app and it is so simple. If you have a somewhat recent smart phone or a computer it will sync all your info. You will love it!

Contact fitbit co. by email and then wait, wait, wait.......you will likely get a run around but persist and it should show up in the mail. Good luck!

It didn't help me. I lost zero pounds, no change in my face, hands, feet, toes, ears...absolutely nothing. Save your money and just make sure you are burning more calories than u are consuming. I use the Fitbit Force to track calories burned, keeps me focused, informed and moving.

No all you really need to answer is your height to set up any you are pretty much ready to go. You can provide more details when setting up free Fitbit.com profile for syncing and tracking. Would strongly recommend this product.

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.

All I can say is that I wore both the New Balance watch and my Polar watch and oh boy...what a major difference in calorie calculations. I trust my polar watch because when I work out at the gym my Polar watch matches calories burned on the machine I am using but the New Balance watch was way off by 150+ calories...You decide! I wouldn't purchase it over a Polar watch but another suggestion is the New Fitbit....awesome fitness trainer device!!

I wouldn't buy one at all. They break quickly, and while they will send you a replacement, after the third one, when you are tired of going through that over and over, they won't give you a refund. You are better off with a fitbit or other product. If you insist on buying this, go for the bigger size of you are in between.

Hi Serge - For a detailed comparison of our trackers, check out: https://www.fitbit.com/compare. Hope this helps!

I have tested it against the Withings Pulse O2 and the app Sleep Cycle and my conclusion is that it is rather poor in recording sleep. I have encountered several issues. The the fitbit App is minimal, you'll see a few thin lines to indicate that you were in light sleep or awake. There is no further detail as fitbit wants you to subscribe for more indepth analysis. And more than once the tracker does not really seem to record anything (once or twice per week). So overall I am rather disappointed about this beautifully shaped gadget.

I don't know much about the Forerunner 620 or the Suunto Ambit2, but, I can tell you one thing, the Fenix 2 is all that and a bag of chips. The only downside of the Fenix 2 is that it is sort of big....HOWEVER, being that it is my first and only fitness watch I am not aware of the sizes of similar watches such as the above mentioned.... So, it could actually be smaller than the others. Personally, I totally dig the watch.

Got mine 12/27/12. Fell in love. Convinced 8 friends to get one, as i visibly dropped pounds. Starting 3/1/13 my UP started losing charge. In the following week, it dropped to needing a charge every night. Support gave me a 2 step reset plan to try, then promised a replacement if it still bonks out. I'm not even that disappointed - this is the most irritatingly awesome thing that I own, and i am 35 pounds lighter.

I have been using my fitness pal...(lost 65 lbs, gained back 30...currently lost 40) for over 2 years and love, but I don't know how to use the Tickr with it...or the wahoo blue that I have been using for over a year. I use the wahoo fitness program for all my exercise/run/walk/calorie burn count. I use my fitness pal to track my diet. They both work great for me!

I have no experience with FitBit in a spin class, hope someone else can answer this for you.
