The editors didn't like
Under a week's battery life
No screen as such
Limited functionality
Display isn't informative
Strap lacks design
Few Android devices actually supported
Nike’s Fuelband may not play nice with Google phones
But the sports giant has got one thing right
It keeps things simple. While its Fuel points for movement are a bit arbitrary
They’re all you get
And they’re a simple way to keep urging you on - do a bit more of what you’re doing
Whether that’s walking
Rowing
Or even running for the bus. There’s a lot to take in with the Fitbit Flex

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....
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...

Abstract: The internet age has brought with it a sedentary lifestyle which makes it disturbingly easy for information workers to go an entire day without walking any further than the bathroom and the coffee machine – which you can usually do as a round trip to cut ...
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
