I never leave home without it. I'm always looking forward to competing with myself in accomplishing more steps then my previous day. I definitely lost a significant amount of weight. I'm a lot more healthier than I was before I purchased the Fitbit. It lowers my blood pressure. It saved my life
It brings joy to my heart to know that I accomplished thousands of steps which in turn led to multiple miles of exercise throughout my daily work environment
I disliked the charging apparatus because it wasn't universal like a micro USB charging cable.

My overall experience has been good when tracking the basic trends like step count, heartbeat etc. but I do not find it very reliable for calories burnt and some other features.
The interface is user friendly and not hard to navigate. The statistics on sleep, irregular heartbeat are more accurate compared to other apps
The step count can be exaggerated and other cardio like stair climbing can be under recorded. It can be a little inaccurate depending on how snug the watch is worn and the angle of the arm when running or doing any kind of cardio.

Very good whilst watches worked. Would definitely recommend screen protectors for your watch. Easy to use. Must remember charger when going on holidays!
Tracking daily activity, encouragement to move, tracking periods and sleep.
I have had 3 watches now and they have just stopped working for no known reason.

Counts steps, reminds me to move, counts my heart rate to keep track of zone minutes, monitors sleep. With a job like mine, which involves a lot of sitting, it helps me be intentional about moving throughout the day. Taking care of my health makes me a better therapist
It was glitchy to initially set up with the phone app. But I called and a person talked me through it

I have had a FitBit for many years and I truly cannot live without one!!!
I love my FitBit App! I have the Premium program and I use a lot of the features daily. I track my sleep, weight, water, food, steps, amount other things.
I do not like that the app is not compatible with the Apple iWatch.

I've been using Fitbit for several years and enjoy it. It helps with accountability of health metrics and I like receiving the weekly progress report in my email inbox so I can compare my metrics to the week before.
Ease of tracking health metrics like: heart rate, type of exercise, step count, miles walked, stairs climbed, number of exercise days, number of active minutes, hourly activity, calories burned, sleep duration, menstrual health, weight, and food consumed. The Fitbit also has a stopwatch and timer feature.
It does not offer a lap feature. Thus, if you want to see how fast you walked in 1 lap and compare it to a second lap, the Fitbit cannot do this.

I have had a very pleasant overall experience, almost three years now I think. I wore out one wrist band, but it was easy to go online to buy replacements. FitBit works, gets consistent data and simply does what it says it will do, which alone is a huge positive in today's world.
The thing I happen to like the most is the wide variety of data available. I particually like the heart beat and sleep info.
Seems counter intuitive to re-boot. So simply turning off and on is not very easy to do until you know how.

overall great watch for the average joe who likes keeping track of steps and calories burned. the added sleep and stress monitoring is a great feature that will help anyone.
love the watch- comfortable and easy to scroll through the various functions. The stress management tool is also a great added feature that will get you through the stressful times (me: taking the busy subway ugh!)love the sleep reports that it gives me the next day- great feature that really opens your eyes (no pun intended) to how deep you're actually sleeping
the heart rate is basic and is rarely accurate when i'm working out. i've watched videos on how to properly wear it, clean it etc but anytime the arms are moving fast it seems like it won't go above 80 bpm. i also use a TICKR tracker at the same time so i definitely know the fitbit sensor is WAY off.

I help my clients with performance goals - fitness, career and family. And while Fitbit has been responsive when a device fails, it has completely ignored my attempts to make them aware of these glaring inaccurate data issues. Because I have two clients with A-Fib, the Sense 2 device has been intriguing but I can't in good conscience recommend the product to these clients without Fitbit addressing and fixing the data error issue. a 5% error rate is tolerable for the type of client I work with - we're not looking at ironman competitors here where every second of training must be accurate and accounted for. In no world where performance improvements measure in fractions of a % is a 40% error acceptable or tolerable.
Heartrate zone tracking - peak, cardio and fat-burn, sleep score.
Inaccurate as hell! I use a gps trail tracker for my distance and pace tracking (MapMyWalk and Strava) It's relatively accurate if I walk at a 20 minute per mile pace or slower, within 5% of other devices. However, if I walk the exact same distance at a 17:30 minute pace, I lose 20% of my steps and distance. And if I walk a 15 minute/mile pace, I lose 35-40% of my steps and distance. I've walked officially...

Fitbit has really modern design, looks nice and is user friendly. I can really quickly go through my stats and it is easy to find what I am looking for.
A lot of functionalities are hidden behind paywall even though you have paid for watches. So you have to pay monthly to be able to use all the functions you want.

Overall I have enjoyed using Fitbit and have purchased new watches as well as given watches to friends/family as gifts. I would like the cheaper models to have a few more features/updates features as I can't use pay by watch or Uber on my Versa2, despite it having the apps available to add onto the screens.
I like the step tracking function as I use this daily to link with my GoVida App. I also like the menstrual tracking as I find it to be very accurate. I use the heart rate fitness tracker as well although I'm not sure how accurate this is as it seems to vary quite a bit during the day but I like that it gives me an indication of my cardiac health based on my age and sex.
My Versa2 does not link with NatWest online banking in order to make use of paying with my watch. I also think the calorie counting part of the app could be improved to make it a bit more user friendly/accessible.

Overall, I’m extremely impressed with the product/service.
I love how it accurately helps me track many steps throughout each day. It motivates me to walk more and/or longer and gives me the added push at the day’s end to take an evening walk if I didn’t hit my daily step goal.
Sometimes the heart rate monitor is off by a lot. I feel like that could be improved.

Im so familiar with fitbit that I always love the new products
I actually won an apple watch in a pitch competition and I was excited to use it, but once i did, i reverted to my fitbit watch. Perhaps because I am older, I cant see the icons on the apple watch as well. But I gave the watch to a much younger coworker and she loves it. So, maybe my review is age specific. But I honestly love the fitbit products. I keep going back to them.
I honestly have no issues with my watch. It has more functionality than I use but my 2023 resolution is to learn to get the most from it!

I use Fitbit myself, and with patients. Monitoring heart rate, oxygen level, and activity/sleep with only one small wrist worn device is highly beneficial. Newer Fitbit models are equipped with EDA scan and ECG. It can identify and alert to AFIB.I was not satisfied with the alarm feature. I had intended on using it as my daily alarm as well as a reminder later in the day. The vibration is weak! If I don't have the device synched down as tight as I can, I don't feel the alarm at all. The alarms cannot be named, making them not as useful as they could be.
- Monitor vitals, daily activity level, and sleep habits without corded and bulky machines.- Remotely access data.- Community features, work out together.- Mental wellness features.
- Not as reliable or accurate as hands on monitoring.- Device, subscription, data or wifi, and smart phone needed. Expensive.- Drains phone battery. Patients forget to sync.- Features vary by Fitbit device.

My work does a walking challenge every year and by participating you can get discounts on your health insurance. Using Fitbit is the easiest way to keep track of my steps that I have to turn in weekly. And if there any questions I’ll have to do is open the app and show it to the people in charge. It is easy to use and the tracker was not overly expensive
I have not encountered any issues with this software. But I do find that it works best to sync with your device daily

Ever since using Fitbit, I haven't been as worried about not sleeping, and I have been motivated to exercise more.
I love how Fitbit tells you how well you have slept, what your pulse is like and other things that are good to know about one's own health.
There is more information that I wish the app could provide for free, but one has to pay for a membership with Fitbit Premium to get that info. I wish that was free.

In general I am an avid user of Fitbit and have been for at least 10 years and 3+ trackers.
I use Fitbit at least once a day and it allows me to track my fitness levels. It is a great app.
It does not keep my sleep hours and I periodically have to call them to get my Inspire HR reset.

I think that information well analyzed could tell us a lot about our present a future health. This is the way
There are wereables. There is a lot of info. Here is one way to have everythng recorded, analyzed. It's the future of health adminitration.
It wold be great to get more and more info about us. Blood pressure, glucose, oxygen, etc. Everything in "the blender" could tell us a lot about our health and patterns.

If mine broke tomorrow I'd go get another!
Fitbit wrist watch allows me to read text messages from my employees without having to take out my phone.
The Fitbit model I use only reads me the first sentence of the message and doesn't allow me to text back.

The care package is operated by knowledgeable and experienced staff.
This product helps me stay focused on my health and fitness. It presents clear messages and encouragement to track my goals and complete my tasks.
The battery does not have a great life span and I am required to recharge often. I would like more wrist band options that were not plastics.

My overall experience is positive, I love tracking my activity, it keeps me motivated to stay healthy, which is very important to me. Everyone should have one.
I love using my Fitbit, I carry it with me 24/7 and has incredible features. My favorite is that it tracks my steps. It's so important to see how active you stay all day and I love the goals that are set for you, whether it's reaching 9 hours of activity (Easy!) or 10,000 steps a day (I deserve some claps, I reach this goal in my 1b1b at least 4 times a week) . You can also track your workouts, and...
What I like the least is that it has some apps that are added without even asking me, and honestly, I don't use them and don't care for them, like Strava or Pandora. I'm not sure why they're there, maybe they're partners or sponsors? I don't know. I also don't like that there is a basic and a premium account. I paid over $100 for my Fitbit, therefore I should be entitled to access all the features with no extra charge. If I need to upgrade, I would just buy a new one. This just makes me want to get a much more simple tracker with just a few features.

Its awesome to know that all across the world you can meet people with common goals of trying to stay or get healthy and are there to get you going. It is great to have my routine of opening my app a seeing where I am in my daily challenge with friends I have made through Fitbit and the chance of being this week.
Beside getting statistics of health there is the interaction with others individuals with like mind goals to sleeping, eating, and health. A must for those individuals who have a competitive drive, you friend others and challenge them in daily, weekly, or weekend challenges to get the best of you and them.
The conns with product is lately younger individuals who pop up and with the content of certain jokes that some adults have it may not be appropriate for children. Not enough screening on what should be seen or said on Fitbit items should be removed quickly and certain people should be banned for trying to make this into a dating site.

My health insurance provider has a program that rewards me cash for taking at least 7500 steps a day. They integrate with the FitBit program automatically which makes it very easy for me to transfer the data and claim my reward.
The software is free and integrates with FitBit wrist devices. I get to see a variety of metrics that are created off of the basic information that is synchronized with my wrist device.
On the iPhone App, it seems to take a long time to sync with my device. This indicator sometimes shows it syncing for several minutes even though I sync the data daily. Not sure why.

it was good and since its part of fitbit health solutions, it is very easy to access.
They give you personalised health indicators and keep track my sleep, activities within the day, heart rate and other health metrics.
So far they are very useful for me especially the tracking activity but the health coaching could have been more broad and more user friendly.
