FitBit or Similar Question
I'm looking to buy a fitbit or something similar to help me keep trak of my steps, calories etc. But there are so many different products. Does anyone have a fitbit or something similar that they use everyday? If so what product do you have? Has there been any problems with it?
I just dont want to spend $100+ on something that doesn't work well!
Are there stores that carry products like this or do I have to buy online? Sorry I am very new at this!

Many of us on here have a Fitbit. I Highly recommend it. It counts the steps/stairs/kms very well. When synced to their website, it keeps track of daily/weekly/Lifetime stats... You can get a clip on (I have this) and now they have the wristband. It also has features I don't use, like sleep monitoring and syncing with MyFitnessPal... This is the first one I have had so I don't have others to compare to.
I bought the cheaper fitbit zip, it clips to waistband or bra, I knew that I wouldn't wear a bracelet all the time, and would never wear it at night to monitor sleep. It connects with myfitnesspal, which I love for documenting food (protein) and liquids.. I got it at Sportscheck, they seem to go on sale for about 59 every once in a while.

I have the fitbit zip, cute little thing, about $50.00. It doesn't count stairs though, other than that, I love it. I got mine at future shop.
I use a Polar Loop. I got mine at Sport Chek for $100.
I chose it over a Fitbit because it is waterproof. It offers basically the same things as them, but I can use it while in the pool ;)
Waterproof! That's exactly what I'm looking for, thank you for the heads up re. the Polar Loop, will check it out.
Anyone have a Jawbone? They're a tad prettier than the Fit Bit but seem to do the same thing(s)?

I have the Fitbit Flex and I wear it is the shower, pool, etc. It says that you can use it in the water. It is the one that you wear on your wrist. I have had it for about a month and love it!
