  • The Fitbit Flex is a simple way to track steps, sleep, and calories. The Flex's strap design makes it light and comfortable to wear. It also offers handy Bluetooth syncing, and Fitbit's platform gives plenty ways to analyze your stats
  • Clasping the Fitbit Flex's strap shut is tricky. Direct syncing is only available with the iPhone, the Samsung GS3, and the Galaxy Note handsets
  • A long list of features and a comfortable fit make Fitbit’s new Flex the best fitness tracker you can buy.

  • Excellent battery life. Accurate. Comfortable, light, stylish. Includes silent vibrating alarm. Interchangeable bands available in several colors. Bluetooth and NFC-enabled wireless syncing to smartphones. Great Web experience.
  • Limited display of information on device. No altimeter
  • Among wrist-worn activity trackers, the Fitbit Flex is the best and most competitively priced one you'll find. If you're not stuck on wearing a bracelet, though, the Flex's close cousin, the Fitbit One, is the obvious choice....

  • With a svelte design, low price and a well-developed app ecosystem, the Fitbit Flex is the best all-around fitness-tracking band available....

  • If you've been on the fence about which tracker to get, this is the one. It beats the Basis B1 which still doesn't have a smartphone app and still requires a cabled connection to sync (although it does track heart rate, which the Flex does not). It beats
  • Thanks for telling me what I've done, but please tell me more about what I should do. Would be nice if device itself showed number of steps taken at a glance

  • With less accuracy and fewer features than similarly priced hardware, the FitBit Flex feels more like a novelty when measured against other popular wearable fitness trackers. And newer, more capable devices on the horizon will be capable of providing even...

  • Affordable, works as advertised, keeps you informed and a good motivator to reach certain goals, easy to wear, nearly week, long battery life, easy to clean, easy to charge, easy to sync, tracks day and night, can be worn 24x7, is water resistant. 
  • Doesn't tell the time while making your brain think you're wearing a watch, is less than $100 in the US but costs $129.95 in Australia, will likely look more primitive if Apple's iTime/iWatch arrives, needs a smartphone with Bluetooth 4.0 LE and even then
