why is the burgundy FitBit $20 less than in black?

The most reasonable explanation is that they overestimated demand for the burgundy color and most people bought black, so they have a ton of burgundy units to unload. I bought a new burgundy, from the e-bay gang, for seventy-one dollars total delivered, no tax; a good deal compared to the black color. That's thirty-five dollars (1/3 less) than a black one here.Another possible reason is that they're about to introduce some new colors (including girly ones, like pink and turquoise) and know the burgundy sales will slow down even more, so selling them off now at the highest price possible would make sense.

Currently the Burgundy Fit Bit One sells for roughly the same price ($95 vs. $96) as the Black one. Clearly, as with all merchandise, it's supply and demand, which can and does change. zit is good to know the display on the Burgundy is more difficult to read though. I was going to the Burgundy for my wife and black for me. Now though, I'll get us each a black one.

I bought the burgundy FitBit because it was $20 less and I don't care what color I got. The serious problem with the burgundy one is that the display shows the data in PINK and it's really hard to read. I wonder if the black FitBit displays in white?

They are exactly the same. The prices fluctuate based on Amazon.com's weird price structuring. Right now the black one is less. But it goes up and down and from time to time these sell out then are restocked.

I have both, and the black/gold is larger than the red/black, hence better for larger wrists. Hope that helps

I have the blue one and the window is clear. But when you insert the Fitbit tracker it looks mostly black. I did a video review that shows it both with and without the tracker.

That's a question better answered by the retailer I suspect. Maybe it's more popular and therefore they can charge more? However, the insert is the same regardless of the color. It works great.

I ordered three pair in late August from Colonial Medical Assisted Devices, double treaded, and paid only $3.55 per pair, with a total of $10.65 plus shipping. I did have a larger order for other Amazon sales items, which might have been the reason for my lower price, or just the day I sent my order in. The nearly $8 cost is common at local drug and medical supply stores where the selection is not at good and no double treaded socks. If you can wait to order, check the price frequently over the next couple of weeks. The item is of good quality and launders easily, with grey being color-fast.

I've never tried black one. The reason I bought the purple one, because the rating was better and I bought it for my wife. But in my point of view they should be the same.

maybe more are in stock than the others, hence the price drop. At first it wasn't cheaper, even was more at one point I think. Amazon changes their prices for many reasons, the market, product stock/availability, manufacturer and supplier suggested price/stock, current market price and demand. if you want one and color doesn't matter, jump on the silver.

Just guessing that the black model is more popular as it won't show dirt?..so higher price works for Samsung.? Great pics!

I'm wondering the same thing. It looks exactly like the one I have right now, except mine's black. And I bought it over a year and half ago...cheaper too. Looks like they just named it?..

I concur. I found that it under-counted by 25-35% during aerobic activity and by even more for casual steps (40-50%). I have had good success with Omron pedometers in the $7-$10 price range.

Sorry I washed this one. I now use the fitbit One and really like it except it is inaccurate for my stairs climbed. I need to call them about that.

Yes, we do. It is $40 more than the Black. Please contact us with any further inquiries.

No I just assumed the more "popular" colors were more expensive. I bought the green because it was the least $ at the time. It was perfect.

Black has rubber/plastic strap with snap. Blue has neoprene with snap. And it fits 24 oz not 32

There's no difference in quality -- the prices just seem to fluctuate for no reason. $17.99 is a great deal for the black, though -- thanks for the head's up! I just ordered three of them!

They make more feminine colored bands and even the black one isn't that obtrusive. If you don't want to wear anything on your wrist I would definitely look at the FitBit One where you can place it on undergarments under your clothes. Im pretty sure the flex has to be placed on your arm just because it is calibrated for arm movement only.
