I'm a fitbit wanker! Bloody love it!

[DonLewis]

I've wanted one for a while, but I wanted the versa so I could wear it swimming. I've saved up, bit the bullet and bought it (even though I won't be wearing it swimming for a while just yet!).

Gosh, it's good. I'm adding my water, logging my food, I've set my goals. I logged last nights sleep, it's fascinating. And motivating.

Anyone else enamoured with theirs?

I used to love my Fitbit! I have an Apple Watch now tho 🙂

Oh god me too, it’s really embarrassing cos I think they’re totally unstylish and pretty naff but it is excellent to see how hard your workout is

Can’t be arsed with logging water and stuff

And I have a 4 month old so the sleep analysis is constantly poor or fair

But otherwise, it’s excellent!

I like mine because it keeps me accountable.
Without it I'd exercise 5 times a month rather than a week !
I love Fitbit pay too.

My mate loves her apple watch. We're total bores!

Haven't set up fitbit pay, maybe I should if it's as good as everything else.

The sleep is fascinating, although I don't think I could have coped with a visual representation of how bad it was when I had a 4 month old!

The sleep analysis is beyond depressing with a baby. Mine often said I was sleeping when I most definitely wasn’t, I was just in bed breastfeeding for hours on end! The only thing more annoying than not sleeping is your Fitbit thinking you’re sleeping.

I love when it auto logs exercise when I haven’t been exercising at all. My favourite is drying hair gets logged as swimming.

I’m obsessed with getting my 250 steps in every hour. And logging activity minutes.

Apple Pay is amazing. So definitely set up Fitbit pay. Can’t remember the last time I used cash or card!

The only thing I will say is if the shops WiFi is down Fitbit pay and Apple Pay won't work so stash an emergency card too !

I had a love hate relationship with my fitbit hr, mostly because I kept having skin reactions to the rubber strap after a couple days meaning I couldn't wear it again until it cleared up. Changed the strap to a fabric one and haven't taking off since except for showers,charging etc. Love watching my bpm improve over time, I spend a lot of time in fat burning mode with little effort or result.

The only thing more annoying than not sleeping is your Fitbit thinking you’re sleeping.

Oh yes! You think, "Wow, that was a bad night - let's see just how bad" and your Fitbit goes, "Nah, it was fine - you got 6 hours." No I didn't!

Despite that, I'm also a recent convert and I do generally love my Fitbit

I loved my Fitbit! I really liked the community bit too- I never posted but I loved how supportive everyone was. I bought an Apple Watch last year and spent a fortune on it and it wasn’t worth it, I found the Fitbit to be much better.

I've just got a Fitbit too and am becoming slightly obsessed. So much so I've just come in from pacing the garden so I could reach my 10k steps today

Love my fitbit.... Anyone fancy a challenge?

This thread is encouraging, I've spent ages looking at what Fitbit to get and think I'll get the charge 4.

I bought the three because the reviews for the 4 all criticised the battery life.

I bought a Charge 4 last night.Hoping it will arrive by tomorrow. Can't wait to start using it.

Just started logging my food on my charge 2. I've only had it 3 yrs!

I have a huwaei phone and can never get my fitbit to sync, I have contacted customer service but no luck. Does anyone else have this problem?

I’ve used Apple Pay on my watch for 3 years now and I live in the sticks. Never had a problem with paying.

Plus if the card reader relies on WiFi it won’t be able to take any card payment if it is down...

I ordered the 3 instead of the 4 last night. I don't think I need gprs.

@Rosesarere my fitbit refused to sync to my samsung for 3 months. Had to uninstall it and download the new version. No problems since.

I have a huwawei.

The only trouble I had was getting the wifi sorted for set up. I turned my phone off and back in and it was fine.

Sorry I don't know how to reply to row... I followed your instructions and so far so good, thank you

I love mine. I'm slightly obsessed with getting all my steps in! In often found wandering around the house late at night

I love mine too.

I had a Flex a few years ago, which was quite good, but I now have the Inspire HR and it is so much better. I am also a bit obsessed by the sleep aspect, and I have it linked with My Fitness Pal which works brilliantly. I even took it on holiday with me this year!

I have always found customer service to be very good.

Being a bit of an Apple nut I did look at the Apple Watch but it was so expensive and, as I'm so old and my eyes don't work properly, I can't see the screen. The Fitbit app on the iPad works much better for me

I love mine, it's helped me lose 3 1/2 stone in lockdown! I do the challenges to keep me motivated.
