I have the fitbit one......I LOVE IT!!!! I wear it every single day and also every single night in bed to track my sleep. It works like a pedometer but can track soooo much more, the fitbit website is excellent also, I look at my stats and my hubbies stats everyday. I bought one for me, then my husband, and then my mom! We challenge each other in steps each day. Very good investment!!! I bought theirs through eBay

I have the flex. I don't have to worry about putting it on, it's always there. Plus, a quick stop at ebay and you can get different bands for under $10, to match any colour clothing, so it's also an accesory. It monitors my sleep patterns. I can use it as an alarm clock. You only need to charge it once a week and it's easy.
I am pre-op and got a fitbit flex back in early July and I love it. As stated above it can work as a pedometer, alarm, and can track your sleep. I no longer track my sleep - it was so discouraging since I am a very bad sleeper. When I first got it I left the steps goal (10,000) at the factory preset just to get an idea of what my actual steps were in a day. After tracking my steps for a week I set the goal (7,000) to slightly above my average steps a day. Everyday I made myself meet or exceed that goal - after 10 days of meeting that goal I added 250 steps a day. I am now up to 9,250 steps a day - I had hoped to be at 10,000 but got side tracked for a week by a nasty spider bite. My ultimate goal is 14,000 steps a day. It is also great if you use myfitnesspal since there is an app that allows them to connect directly to each other. I would highly recommend a fitbit flex.
