I have and love the Ultra, but if I were you I'd get Fitbit "One". The difference between the two is that One synchs to your phone so your numbers will update throughout the day. I have to wait until I get home to synch because my work computer won't allow me to download the software.

There is another version, Zip, that doesn't cost as much ($59.99 vs. $99.00). It doesn't track sleep or steps. If you don't climb stairs regularly or care about tracking your sleep, that may be the one for you.

I read that you can now buy a discounted version of the Ultra on Amazon.

Fitbit also can account for being pregnant or nursing. I assume it grants your more calories, but I'm neither so I just moved past that screen.

fitbit has a little flower that grows based on how active you are. If you're inactive/sitting down for too long, the flower gets small again.

Fitbit links to myfitnesspal. I love mine. It lets me know exactly how many calories I can consume based on my activity level. I loved it so much I bought one for my mom so we could "compete" and motivate each other. Since then my aunt and cousin bought one so now we have our own little fitbit race.

I think it's better for walkers or newly active people. You can track nearly anything, but stairs, distance, steps and sleep are tracked automatically. For an extra fee ($50 for a year), you can activate the fitbit trainer, who will help you with your goals through more difficult of challenges. When I level out I plan on adding the trainer. In the last month, I've lost six pounds.


Wow fit bit seems to have a lot more than striiv. I definitely want my food intake to be a part of the device do it sounds like fit bit is the way to go. I like the game part of striiv but not enough to pick that one. And doesn't the fit bit make you feel motivated as well without having an an actual "game"?

Based on reviews here, I was on the verge of replacing my waterlogged Fitbit with a Striiv. But then Fitbit replaced my device for free, after I had washed it twice. The charitable aspect and game part of the Striiv really appealed to me but I love that I can attach my Fitbit to my bra, it's do discreet.

Fitbit recently launched a couple new products? Check out the new devices on their site, no recharging, Bluetooth sync, etc.

I have to say, I love that it lets you use your steps to donate to charities.

Which is better? I would like something that I can use to also track my nutrition as well but not a deal breaker. Pros and cons of each? Overall?
