Can anyone recommend a fitbit?

I have a very basic MaxPro, was £25 from Avon catalogue, counts steps, calories burned and monitors sleep.

For a fitbit that counts calories in food also, does heart rate etc, can anyone tell me what they have and is it any good? I think I would actually count my calories if I could put it on the fitbit.

Thanks Smile

I've got a fitbit charge hr. I love it, measures steps, heart rate, distance and stairs. You can manually enter other exercises e.g. swimming, yoga...; food eaten, water drunk. As I'm on weight watchers I just link it so don't actually use this feature.
Hope this waffle helped! Smile

I second the Charge HR. I'm on my second and I've synced it with Myfitnesspal. It's awesome!

The garmin vivo bit 2 is brilliant and completely waterproof and cheaper than fitbit.

I second the Garmin Vivofit 2. Better strap, battery operated so no charging, waterproof, syncs with MFP, counts steps, logs sleep. Brilliant!

I couldn't see the point in knowing my HR throughout the day. Vivofit can be ordered with a HR strap. I put this on before a workout and it logs activity and calories.

I have the Fitbit "one". I love it!!! I still count calories occasionally on an app I had before so I don't use the Fitbit app for that.
