  • The Silent alarm, Sleek, attractive, colorful, Bluetooth/wireless syncing, Real time data viewing, Waterproof, Long battery life
  • General lack of data precision, No detailed feedback without using the app, Only metric tracked is motion
  • What we discovered after two weeks of fitness tracking is that the Flex is a stylish, attractive recorder of general activity and motion. For people who aren't already following a consistent, organized, exercise program, yet want to make sure they're st...

  • Tracks steps and sleep with accuracy, Hard to lose, Bluetooth syncing, Vibrant user base across Fitbit line for social step competition
  • Five day battery life unimpressive, Clasp a bit fussy to use, No numeric ondevice display
  • The Fitbit app for iPhone The Flex works. Compared to other trackers, its numbers seem accurate. It's comfortable and non-invasive on my wrist, though I do find it slightly annoying to put on. I do miss seeing a true reflection of my step count on the de...

  • Priced at $100, the same as the more full-featured One, I dont know why anyone would want to buy the Flex. Its inaccurate, has fewer features and is the least motivating activity tracker of those available today. To be honest though, if youre relying o...
