If you're already active
Tracking steps and steps alone just isn't enough
Its battery only lasts five days

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

Abstract: We've become quite fond of Fitbit's range of wireless activity trackers, which serve as a good motivational tool to become more active. The Fitbit Ultra , Zip and One devices have all utilised a similar form factor but the company has now decided to offer...

Fantastic app platform, comfortable and lightweight to wear, works with iOS, Android and Windows Phone, affordable price, accurate sleep tracking, week-long battery life
Design a little chunky, overgenerous with step and distance tracking, sleep tracking fiddly, no altimeter
The Fitbit Flex is a comfortable, simple-looking activity tracker that might resemble a chunky, colourful rubber band, but brings a lot more brains to the party. Yes, we would have liked the design to be a little slimmer and more rounded, but on th...

The Fitbit Flex strikes a good balance between affordability, convenience and user-friendliness, but the old you-get-what-you-pay-for adage applies here. Shelling out extra on the Nike Fuelband will snag you a more stylish and accurate fitness tracker, w...
Handy light notifications, Good price, Accurate tracking, Water resistent
App lacking, Fiddly charging process, Bland looking, No dedicated display,
If you're on the prowl for a fitness band, the Fitbit Flex is a well-balanced choice; a slick design and some solid activity tracking features - not to mention an affordable price - make this a strong, if not overly incredible, fitness contender...
