My sister has one.  Had it over 1 year and absolutely loves it.  She wears it everyday and it tracks her steps, if she sits too long reminds her to move, tracks her sleep at night, etc.  she went on Amazon and bought tons of different bracelets for it, from nice leather to gold.  I'm putting one on my list for Santa this year.

I did have one, and for the most part, I liked it. I bought mine at Best Buy. It's pretty accurate, except the only problem I kept having with mine was that when I went grocery shopping and pushed the cart, it kept going into sleep mode because of the vibration from the cart. I used mine in conjunction with going to the gym, and watching what I ate, and over a course of about 2 years I lost 60 lbs, so I definitely attribute some of it to the FitBit.

I have one and enjoy having it because it reminds me to keep moving.  It encourages me to meet the goal I have set up for myself.  It is a challenge for me.

What is a Fitbit? I never heard of one. All kinds of things went through my mind when I read that.

I have a fitBit, after using it i think it's over priced.

I got a Garmin product (by a friend reccomendation) and I love it. I was told if you get one "make sure it uses GPS so that it's accurate. If you're using it on a treadmill, it might be a little less accurate, but it only counts steps.

I could not afford one, so I bough an imitation and I love it, unfortunately I lost the charger cord and could not find a new one, so I will be buying me a new fitbit imitation for Christmas

I like my Fitbit but I had to stop wearing it after I got a bad rash on my wrist.

No, one more technology thing. I do want one too.

Mine is an iFit, but I don't think it's very accurate.  I can walk around my yard and it registers one amount of distance, then I take the exact same path, and it registers a different amount of distance.  Still I think it does help me to remember to move when I'm wearing it.  I discovered that an app on my phone is way more accurate.  I just have to keep my phone with me at all times to see how many steps I've taken.  It's really cool.  It knows when I go up a flight of stairs!

I don't have one. I have a couple friends who had one and had to exchange it, said there was issues with the one they had.

I have a Fitbit Blaze and love it so much. It reads my heart rate and it's pretty accurate. Don't know what I'd do without it.

I don't have a fitbit. However I'm seeing a lot people having more and more fitbits. They're really in right now.

My daughter has one and loves it.  I just order one for husband from Kohl's and used my Kohl's cash from previous Christmas shopping. Was 154.99 but after my Kohl's cash and yes rewards was only 74.97 with free shipping.  However it would not let me use the promo code to 25% off today.  Only on good on certain on items and I guess electronic is not one of them.

I've been wanting one for a while now. Seems too good to be true in accuracy. I read an article in Men's Health that Fitbit along with all of the others are inaccurate 20% - 80% of the time. An example given was on stated a person burned 150 calories, but medical testing proved that the actual calories burned were closer to 20. Made me quite discouraged to purchase one and have faith that it would be accurate, even at least half.

I understand what a pedometer is; however, I've never heard of a fitbit.  Does it track the number of steps you take each day?

I don't have a Fitbit yet but am thinking about getting one. I run about 12 miles a week and would love a Fitbit to track my heart rate etc. and to remind me to keep on exercising as much as possible.
