  • Comfortable and inconspicuous, Optional bands and pendants available, Effortless data uploads; two wireless options

  • Abstract:  The Fitbit Flex is easy to use once you get it out of that atrocious packaging. We found it funny that the little plastic piece inside the package that the Flex band wraps around resembles a TIE Fighter. It's an unfortunate that taking the product out of...
