Obviously I know it tracks my steps but it seems to do so much more. What is good, what isn't...what should I use? Like do you use the sleep thing? I also saw that is tracks your exercise - I have been using runkeeper but I think I will use Fitbit unless someone tells me it isn't good.
Oh...and friends...do I need friends?

Yeah!! Which Fitbit did you get? I used the sleep tracker when I first got my One, but I haven't used it much recently. Make sure you measure and enter your stride for regular walking. If you run, you'll want to measure that one as well. The Fitbit considers fast walking (probably over 3.5 mph, but I'm not sure of the exact speed) as running. If you don't enter one in both places, the distance it measures won't be accurate. I use Runkeeper as well, and I've found it to be more accurate for measuring distance than the Fitbit. I have my RK account linked to MyFitnessPal, which links back to the Fitbit app, so my walks and rides (bike) are logged in the Fitbit app. Feel free to connect with me on Fitbit, I'd you'd like. My profile is at www.fitbit.com/user/23SZ5W. Have fun with your new gadget!  |

I have the flex and really like it. I find it a lot more accurate than the pedometer I had.
I use it for my steps and sleep.
My friend uses her for her food as well.

I didn't know we could measure our stride and enter it. I will have to look to try to find that on the site. Thanks for that info!

I ended up getting the flex. I went back and forth on that or the ONE but figured this one works best for me.

The stride information is under your settings on the dashboard. I'm not sure if you can enter it on the app. |

Oh I didn't know you were supposed to measure stride, too! Is it just back heel to front toe of other foot or the empty space not including your feet?

I just got the One today. I've been using the Nike Fuelband for over a year and wanted to change over to Fitbit. I have found that wearing the bracelet has made me stop wearing my jewelry. I didn't want to wear it on my wrist everyday anymore.
Do I need friends?
