Pedometer- skip the Fitbit Flex, and go for the new Fit*****arger instead...

Hello,

I am a Fitbit pedometer fan. I used to have the Ultra (too easy to lose) and currently have the Flex. I hate it. The display is only a series of flashing lights, and I really miss the display of the Ultra. Fitbit just came out with the Fit*****arger- goes on the wrist like the Flex, but a real display and more features than the Flex. I can't wait to get rid of the Flex and get the Charger instead. Retails at $129 on the Fitbit site right now. It does help to get you moving if you are on the fence!

I know the surge was available at select stores like target and best buy but they flew off the shelves. fit bit has yet to start selling them on their website. I guess they're testing the market first.

Just checked the Surge out. It offers a little more than what I would use so it is not worth the extra cost for me, but it is super cool if it is in your budget!

I avoided the bracelet for the longest time. But dropping a chunk of change every 6 months on one because my husband loses them just isn't working for me. It also has the advantage of putting it on and just forgetting about it. That works well for me!

Just saw the HR-- it is already out. Target is carrying it online, and several other places. Google it and the different stores will pop up. I am not interested in the heart rate option, but the online reviews mentioned it has a better clasp. That is worth a little more to me, so I will likley get the HR unless I find a fantastic deal on the regular Charge.

You know you can send that Flex back to Fitbit for a full refund!  Just email them and they'll send you an envelope.  Refund does take awhile!  My husband loves his Charger!
