The editors didn't like

  • If you're already active
  • Tracking steps and steps alone just isn't enough
  • Its battery only lasts five days
  • Which is less than many other trackers
  • Band is cheap feeling and difficult to close on your wrist by yourself. You will rely on the app or dashboard heavily for how you are doing throughout the day. Also
  • The indicators on the Fitbit Flex offer minimal information of your progress
  • Proprietary charging port
  • Misinterprets hand movements as steps sometimes
  • Calorie count is exaggerated in my experience
  • As is step count in some instances
  • Clasp on the band can easily get snagged and come undone
  • Basic LED display
  • Doesn't track stairs climbed
  • Proprietary Charger
  • Lack of OLED display
  • Doesn't monitor heartbeat
  • Takes time to get used to sleeping with it
  • Difficult to put on your own wrist
  • Does not count stairs
  • Requires a USB dongle for syncing
  • Does not track flights of stairs (like the FitBit One)
  • Always visible if worn with short sleeves
  • No screen on device to show you detailed information on goal progress
  • Does not tell time
  • Wristband notches gets gross
  • Very hard to attach to wrist and ca
  • Clasping the Fitbit Flex's strap shut is tricky. Direct syncing is only available with the iPhone
  • The Samsung GS3
  • And the Galaxy Note handsets
  • Difficult to put o
  • Display supplies minimal inf
  • Lacks heart rate tracking
  • Limited display of information on device. No altimeter
  • Five day battery life unimpressive
  • Clasp a bit fussy to use
  • No numeric ondevice display
  • Android app a bit buggy
  • Display isn't informative
  • Few Android devices actually supported
  • We had some issues finding the app in local Arabian Play Stores (expect an update on this matter)
  • General lack of data precision
  • No detailed feedback without using the app
  • Only metric tracked is motion
  • Boring design
  • Doesn't tell you what to do with your data
  • Hard to put on and take off
  • Inputting sleep
  • Food
  • And activity is a lot of work
  • Thanks for telling me what I've done
  • But please tell me more about what I should do. Would be nice if device itself showed number of steps taken at a glance
  • Sleep tracking is inconsistent at best
  • Database of nutritional data is disappointing

  • zwischen einem normalen Schrittzähler, wie ich ihn bisher genutzt habe, und den Armbändern fällt für mich mittlerweile eindeutig aus. Ich bevorzuge ganz klar Armbänder. Diese habe ich einfach immer dabei und es besteht keine Gefahr, dass ich den Tracker...

  • In puncto Preis ist der Sieger schnell ermittelt. Denn Flex ist bereits für 30 Euro weniger als Up zu haben. 99,95 Euro kostet das Armband bei Fitbit. Allerdings macht sich die Einsparung an den Materialien und der Verarbeitung des Armbands bemerkbar...

  • Nach einer Woche mit dem Fitbit Flex habe ich es schon lieben gelernt. Es ist einfach klasse zu sehen wie im Laufe des Tages die Schritte mehr werden und wann man sich am Tag mal gar nicht bewegt hat. Es hat sogar dazu motiviert mich mehr zu bewegen und a...

  • Präziser Schrittzähler, Austauschbares Armband, LEDs zeigen Fortschritt zum Ziel an,
  • Bedienung bisweilen fummelig, Synchronisation nur mit neueren Smartphones/Tablets (bei Android nur sehr wenige)
  • Das Fitbit Flex ist ein gut verarbeitetes, praktisches Fitness-Armband, das tut, was es soll. Unweigerlich ziehe ich den Vergleich zum Jawbone Up — und da fällt das eine oder andere auf, was fehlt. Da wäre zunächst der dynamische Wecker, den ich beim UP s...

  • Der Flex ist für mich der beste Allrounder unter den Activity Trackern. Er ist praktisch, durch das Armband, robust, da der Tracker nur ins Armband eingeschoben wird, bietet solide Akkulaufzeit und eine perfekt funktionierende App sowie ausreichende Integ...

  • Betrouwbare data, Goede integratie met apps en diensten, Voldoende mogelijkheden en sensoren,
  • Problemen met opladen, Geen hartslagmeter, Bandjes van matige kwaliteit
  • Dan de conclusie. De Fitbit Flex is een fijne eerste wearable die ik iedereen aan kan raden. De data is betrouwbaar, op de afgelegde afstand na. Zodra je de Fitbit Flex hebt opgeladen kun je er een week mee vooruit...

  • Comfortabel, dankzij ontbreken schermpje kijk je niet constant, slaaptracker toont kwaliteit slaap
  • Geen vergelijking met data profiel-genoten (denk ING's Tim huishoudboekje)
  • De Fitbit Flex is een prima smatwatch voor de prijs. Het stelt de gebruiker in staat meer over zijn gezondheid te weten te komen en de levensstijl daar op aan te passen...
