    activity trackers

    I'm trying to stay active and have been intrested in getting an activity tracker (wrist versions) for awhile. Finally decided I'm going to get one I think and curious of anyone here had one and could share their experiences. I was going to go for the jawbone up but amazon has a lot of reviews of them dieing in 2-4 months, so now I'm leaning towards the fitbit flex. Any suggestions on others or for/against the flex? I don't care about fancy Ness just comfort, accuracy, and sleep monitoring (I feel like I never get a good night's sleep), I'd also like heart rate monitoring but doesn't seem like many if any come with that, and I can live without it. I like the looks and feel of the up a lot more than the flex and people have developed allergies to the flexes battery but can't drop 130 on something that will die 3 months from now

    U was looking for something a lot less bulky. I feel like it would be an annoyance when sleeping. Do you have any issues with the size? I'm not dead set against it, espically since it has so many features I would love to have so definitely an option. Something with those features but the size of the up would be amazing. Also i was reading one i forget which but it had a silent alarm clock that would wake you up during a lighter stage of sleep so you would feel more refreshed. That seems really cool, has a one tried one and used that feature?
