  • Abstract:  On the face of it, there isn't much to distinguish the Fitbit Flex from the Jawbone UP . Both consist of a rubberised wristband that tracks your steps and sleep, and both work with a companion iOS/Android app that presents all of your data in pretty infog...

  • The Fitbit Flex has converted me into a fitness tracking lover. This is my first, and certainly not my last fitness tracker. There are plenty of others out there, but Fitbit has a treasure trove of goodness here. The Fitbit Flex provides two wristbands i...

  • I'm torn between the Fitbit Flex and the Up, because there are features on both that I'd want if I was laying my money down. The wireless syncing and PC/Mac compatibility of the Flex is a definite plus, as are the activity lights that act as a simple spur...

  • Wraps around your wrist, Lightweight wristband is comfortable, Comes in multiple colours, Track activity and sleep
  • Display isn't informative, Strap lacks design, Few Android devices actually supported
  • The Fitbit ecosystem is a great way to start using technology to keep on top of your personal health. But the Flex is the weakest link in the product lineup, a device that tries to take the same technology as the One and place it in a much more convenien...

  • Subtle look and feel, Wireless sync to selected phones, Good battery life
  • No altitude sensor for stair tracking, Sleep tracking hit and miss, A little expensive

  • 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....

  • Abstract:  Sarahsfit(bit)ayeI was lucky enough to receive a Fitbit earlier this year for my birthday, and I pretty much didn't take it off for about 6 months. I'm a little obsessed with fitness, as I'm sure most people who such a product is aimed at are. I had been...
