Fitbit vs Jawbone vs Garmin

Thoughts? likes, dislikes?

I'm leaning towards the jawbone, mainly because it appears it calculates weight etc into your calories burnt. I can't see that the fitbit does that?

I have used the garmin & fitbit.  I liked the fitbit and it got me moving more.  I could just wear it on my bra so it was super convienent.  I don't use it anymore, but did solidly for over a year.  Now taking the stairs and finding extra steps is second nature to me.  

 

I like the garmin for running outside.  Its great for speed / distance work and is pretty accurate.
