I have the fitbit force.  Totally loved it .... until it was recalled.  Mine is acting up now so I am going to return it since I purchased a two year warranty.  Try the fitbit flex.  I hear it's great.

i had the fit bit force worn it on my wrist., loved it but when it was recalled i switch to the fitbit one (clip on) because it counts flights of stairs. I find it a real pain to remember to take it off my clothing so i  forget it alot. Also since it clips on my pants or bra i can not see the display during the day. I do like the way it sync with my fitness pal on my phone. My nut says everyone in there office has one and they have daily contest and jeer and cheer each other on

Are they really accurate? I was given a pedometer for christmas and it wasn't working properly it would register less than half my steps so we took it back! 

 

Thank you everyone for all your help!

Just got a Fitbit Flex from Sportchek. Used the "Friends and Family" discount and used free shipping. Ended up being $84 Normally they are $99. Just getting used to it...but it syncs with my iphone and a website you can login to see the dashboard on any computer/device.

I think they are fairly accurate...I did a test of walking around my house, counting my steps and it was correct in that instance. I could see where it might not be 100% accurate, but, I have had a better experience with this product than with a regular pedometer. I also double checked on whether you can wear it in the water and it is water resistant up to 10 meters (30 feet) so, it should be fine for swimming etc. as long as you aren't deep sea diving, lol! This is for the Fitbit Flex.

I have the Fitbit Flex and have never had a problem with it. I love it. I don't regret spending 99 bucks on it. I got mine at Target for $20 dollars off at Christmas time with their 5% off Debit card deal.

It also links to MyFitnessPal if that's something you use.
