Anyone ever used one or thinking of getting one? Its a pressie for my sister she has this step counter thing on her phone and uses my fitness pal but she is always faffing about with the two..am thinking get her a fitbit and it sorts her problems out..how accurate are they in terms of steps and all that stuff.

Cheers

Not 100% accurate but consistent if that makes sense.

Consistently inaccurate? Sounds like a fair few profiles on here.

I have the charge 2 and it's pretty good, it does get confused with lifts and stairs though

Just where I need to be.

I bought one with about a month ago. I have the app synced to my phone. I wanted it to motivate myself on my lazy days. I do input all my calories which I have never done before.I have lost 4lb just by being more active and cutting out chocolate.I like it. I do think the sleep chart is a bit hit and miss as I can't be that restless in bed.

Have you checked the sleep settings? Mine is synced to my phone too and I had it set on sensitive sleep which appeared to say I was restless literally all night?

Set it to normal and it should improve and give you a better reading.

I have one- mainly got it to see what my sleep was doing but wore it to work a

Few times and seems pretty accurate, working along side a friend who had one too and we did similar steps, I just always forget about it though and it's almost been in the wash a thousand times. Think I'll send Mr into work with it actually as he always says he works harder than me

Thanks for the tip my sleep was set on sensitive and for the time since I had it looked like I was getting 4 hours a night let's see what tonight says . To answer the question even if not 100 accurate it's a good guide done over 10000 steps every day and by going on the 5 &2 diets lost 2kg

I've been using myfitnesspal for ages and used to have a step counter on my phone that synced with it. In the last month I started syncing it to my fitbit instead and it works a treat with a lot less faffing.
