What's the difference between the Fitbit Flex and the Fitbit Charge?

They discontinued the Fitbit Flex as far as I know. I think the difference is the design but it pretty much does the same.

The fit the charge replaced the fit bit flux has a digital readout on it as to where the fit bit flex must use your app for your readings

No, the flex does not show the actual number (although the the fitbit Force does). The Flex just shows dots as a percentage of your daily goal. I am okay with it because if I want to know the exact number of steps I simply sync with my phone.

Well, i think it is close. However, i received a fit bit strap product,charge hr, for Christmas this year and found it better. On the other hand, the tracking is much better than the spark tracker. Good luck with your walking and your health improvements !

Hey = so I found the fitbit a little more responsive during exercise. But the UP 24 will continue to update (just not as quite as real time). With running - depending on your speed the Up24 should recognize your your activity as running. I have to manually put in when I am hiking though.

I have no idea. My Square Trade Protection Plan was purchased to cover my FitBit Flex. When I tried to fit the plan into a category nothing really fit, but it was already purchased so I don't really know what it covers.

It tracks steps but not stairs (like climbed.) For stair climbing you'll want a Fitbit One. Fitbit Flex and Zip will just count those stairs as steps, which means if you are looking for calories burned it may not show as high as you really did since climbing stairs is harder than taking a level step.

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 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.

It is useless for this. I returned mine immediately. I suggest you do the same. My wife has a FitBit and I have a Vivio and both work well.

The Fitbit Ultra is being phased out and has less attributes. The Ultra tracks Steps, distance, calories burned, floors climbed, Sleep (hours, # times woken, sleep efficiency) and Syncs wirelessly to Macs and PCs. The New Fitbit One tracks those same things in addition to Goal setting, has a Silent Wake Alarm (vibrates on your wrist), Syncs to select Bluetooth Smart/Bluetooth 4.0 devices (i.e. iPhone 4s, 5, iPod touch 5th, iPad 3rd gen, Samsung Galaxy S III & Galaxy Note II) Sweat, rain, splash-proof and Free online and mobile tools (set goals, track trends, log food and more).

I do not think the fitbit ONE would fit into this band. The inside of the band is very snug even for the fitbit flex.

My fitbit holds a charge for about 4-5 days. It does not always suit me to plug it into my computer to charge because I forget about it. I love the Patuoxun Charging cable because it gives the option of plugging into the wall (my preferred method) or computer. It was a great purchase for me. The charge still lasts only 4-5 days, but that's just the limitation of the Fitbit.

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

the dongle & charger cord. the dongle lets you upload data & sync to the website. the cord is the only way to charge a fitbit

I have a Charge and it works perfectly with the tracker. The Aria feeds information into the Fitbit website, which is where you'll be able to track your weight.

It is ONLY replacements for the little plastic clasp. My friend & I each got a fitbit flex. i can wear the smaller band & she wears the larger band. I got these clasps so I don't have to switch the clasp out every time I change band color. The clasps are very nice. Nicer than the original one.
