Fitbit Ultra: Would love to hear pros and cons of other Fitbit Ultra users.

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?

I own, and love, the FitBit but I still have 8# to lose that don't seem to be going anywhere. I don't like the idea of spending more money on a website but am willing to do so IF the BM is really worth it. Any ideas?

Hmmm. That would be an interesting feature to integrate into the FitBit if its not already there. I'm pretty sure your wrist can be used to calculate BMI through electro impedance and possibly wrist circumference.

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.

Nope, it sure can't. It doesn't have much of the functionality of the FitBit either. This is just a barebones pedometer with flimsy screen and ability to upload step data. No pause.

Hi, I am sorry I could not use the Striiv but had to return it. Am using the Fitbit and love it!

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.

no - the BodyMedia is charged and your dashboard (which shows your sleep, calories in, calories out etc) is done with your computer. The BodyMedia does not have bluetooth like the Fitbit so it would work perfectly for you.

Honestly, I returned my Striiv because it was too difficult to use. I bought a FitBit which I use every day. It coordinates with MyFitnessPal eating and exercising program, sends me activity for the past week so I can compare. I love my FitBit but cannot help you with the Striiv.

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

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.

I have a FitBit Flex and I have to make sure that I move my arms for the steps to count. So make sure you're swinging your arms, like you're walking. Not sure if all FitBits are like this, but my Flex is picky if I'm not swinging my arms.

No subscription required. Just register online for free to start tracking. It only tracks steps, so for even my elliptical, I have to enter the activity and time I spent doing it. I have mine synced with My Fitness Pal, and it works awesome for tracking activity and food intake. Love the fitbit, it makes me think more about being active.

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 !

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 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.

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
