I have the flex. It is great for tracking steps and you can track sleep also. I can shower with it on, but I take it off if getting in the pool...don't want to take my chances. I sync it with my fitness pal.

I have the One. I didn't want to wear anything on my wrist. The step and stair counters are great. I used the sleep tracker for a while, but stopped. It was a PITA, and didn't really do anything for me.

I've had 3 different models and like the Charge HR best. The first model I had clipped on your waist (some clip to bra). I found that it sometimes fell off the pants (and if you still have a significant belly roll, it is more prone to do so) They don't that particular model anymore- I also forgot to take this one off several times and it went through the washer and dryer with the pants it was clipped on, the second model I had is the one that was recalled one due to some people having skin reactions - I liked everything about this one except that the fastening mechanism isn't as secure and the Charge. I really like having the ability to check my HR now with the charge HR - more than I thought I would! Fitbits are great and the company has wonderful customer service!

I have used the Fitbit One, Flex and now have the Charge HR.  I got it for the heart rate monitor and is by far my favorite model.  I also like that the wrist band is like a watch band and less likely to fall off.  The Fitbit website allows you to do a nice comparison of models if you haven't checked it out already.

Thanks, I hadn't been to the website - just amazon to check prices. The comparison is very helpful.

I use the Fit*****arge. I like it. I wanted something that I could look at to track what Im doing versus having to look on my phone for the info.

Thanks for your responses, everybody. It seems that everyone is pretty happy with whichever Fitbit they have. I guess it comes down to how much I want to spend and if I want to use the extra features.

True. I have gotten several new Zips on ebay for around $30 ****pt bidding until I won it- most go for about 42 there).

I like that you can see the numbers on the Zip, One, And Charge. You have to go to your phone for the flex.

The charge HR has a regular watch-type band, unlike the others.
