Do you own a FitBit or other trackable device? How is it working for you? I have the ChargeHR and I hate that thing. It drives my wrist crazy. It makes it so hot and uncomfortable and I am disappointed I bought this one. I have had many FitBits over the years and this one has been the worst apart from the one that broke in 2 and the one with the defective charging stand.
I just hate the wristband. I could downgrade and go back to one of the other ones I had. This one does offer a lot of capabilities that do I like. What would you do? I wear it on my non-dominant hand and it sweats and feels awful for some reason. I want to wear it like I did the other ones I had. I want to love it. I just don't deal with the stickiness of it.

I guess it depends on your goal. I wear a HR monitor when I work out, but only when I work out. I don't count steps or any of that. I use a Polar.

All I care about are my steps, stairs, and calories burned, so I have the Fitbit One. I tried the Flex and the Charge, but hated them so went back to the One. I didn't like having to wear it on my wrist and didn't find them to be that accurate. I keep it hooked to the front of my bra and don't even notice it's there. I don't need any fancy bells and whistles, so the One works perfectly for me.

Fitbit Alta. The band is much thinner than the Charge and you can switch the bands out.

It doesn't have any bells and whistles on it at all, but it never bugged me. I was always afraid I would wash my FitBit if I wore it on my bra and then I did wear it on my bra and i have never washed one before. I am not sure why I was so paranoid. Nothing bad ever happened to any of them except the one that split in half. That one was like the original one they made. They also replaced it as it was defective. |

But I don't have sensitivity issues. No problems running. I do tighten it a notch when I run because I don't like it moving, otherwise I keep it loose. I love the connection with my phone. It did take getting used to wearing something on my wrist but other than that, love it. |

I have the microsoft band 2 which is BIG. Daughter got it for me for Christmas and went through hell about it so I feel obligated to wear it as much as I can. Only I am constantly having some issue with it, sigh. My wrist has a permenant indent in it from wearing this monster. And yes, it does get hot. But anything you have on your body here in the hot Texas summers gets hot.

I dont love the wristband on my fitbit charge but I like the HRM and since it's the only way to accurately get calories burned-I put up with it. I wipe it down with alcohol pads on a regular basis

Two thumbs up for the Apple Watch. I wore a Fitbit One for almost 3 years when I got my Apple Watch in November. I'd never wanted a tracker that I'd wear on my wrist because I thought they were really ugly and didn't want to have it showing all the time. The One I could clip to my waistband and I was good to go. I have, though, always worn a watch, so having something on my wrist wasn't the problem. I just didn't want to wear a tracker like that. I wasn't sure how I'd like the watch, but I absolutely love it. Not only for fitness, but for all the other things I can do with it. No more having to worry about always having my phone on me or in my hand. It's awesome. I actually find it's more motivating to me to be active too. I love watching the activity circles go around and feel I've let myself down when I don't hit at least two of them every day. (Granted, for activities like weight lifting, yoga, etc., when you don't swing your arms, it won't count activity minutes as much, but still...) I absolutely love this thing! I've even gotten a bunch of different colored bands for it, so I can coordinate it to what I'm wearing.  |

I have a fitbit blaze until I upgrade my phone back to apple and then I will get the apple watch.
I am going to get the leather band for the fitbit though. Don't love the plastic band at all. But I love the watch and it's functionality.
