Got the fitbit HR last week, it's £119 a little expensive but I wanted the heart rate monitor and display. Wife got the version without HR that are £79 from argos, or £69 with £10 discount i got from buying the HR ten mins earlier. Very happy with them both, the phone apps and web interface give us the right motivation to eat well and walk more! Some people are moaning about the HR not being great but for me its been accurate, esp when walking and sleeping |

Just looked at the surge, suppose it's OK. Not jealous at all. |

Been wearing it since Thursday whilst at a golf tournament, did 5 rounds in the 4 days and got these totals so far. I didn't use the golf option on the surge for activity, these are just the daily stats:
107,186 steps 324 floors 51.95 miles 24,700 calories

Tried out pretty much most of these over the last 12 months. Currently wearing a Garmin vivosmart and a Fitbit Surge.
Love the Surge and would recommend it. Costs the most, but the heart-rate technology is pretty unique.
Biggest disappointment was the Jawbone Up 24. Nice app, but managed to count half the steps showing on the other bands and had some big gaps where none were registered where they should have been.

these things look great.
Whats the best one to get in terms of giving me as much info and accuracy as I can get and how much am I looking at paying?

I had a jawbone, and it was excellent, from what I could tell very accurate. I stopped using it because as great as it was it didnt change my behaviour one bit. Which is why I'm waiting for this to come out properly: http://pavlok.com/ |

My flex is hmmmm. Darren took it to work, registered 12 miles which we thought was ott. So today he just used the running app on his android phone on walking mode. Registered just over 6 miles which is about correct. So obviously then if you walk then use the car the flex registers car miles too. Verdict then,
great at registering walking but leave at home if using transport. Not quite sure how that will work though As i sometimes do both.

Strange, my Flex is spot on when I'm travelling and I spend 2 hours+ on trains, tubes and car most days. From memory you program the flex with your height and weight when setting up. If Darren is significantly different in stature then that might throw it out.

OK forgot about the height / weight thing , maybe that did cause the difference for the day Darren tried it but doesn't explain the day i did the walk and car ride. |

I find it good for the motivation - was very near a tube station last night but seeing that I'd done 8000ish steps I walked for 30 minutes to another station. Been wearing mine for six months now, received this email this morning. | Click to see full-size image. |
