Ich habe lange nach einem geeigneten Tracker für mich gesucht. Dieser hier hat alle Funktionen, die ich mir gewünscht habe: Schrittzähler (ist klar), Kalorienzähler, Pulsmesser, Distanzmesser, verschiedene Armbänder zum Auswechseln (sportlich oder schick).Die Installation des Trackers und der App war super einfach. Haltbarkeit des Akkus bei mir ca. 4 - 5 Tage, Ladezeit ca. 2 Stunden.Die App dazu ist wirklich toll, gut aufgebaut, übersichtlich und optisch schön gestaltet sowie intuitiv bedienbar. Man kann alles eintragen, was ich wollte. Vor allem war mir wichtig, dass ich die Kalorien meiner Lebensmittel erfassen kann. Man kann eigene Speisen eintragen, in der sehr umfangreichen Liste suchen oder den Barcode der Verpackungen einscannen (funktioniert nicht immer, aber man kann es ja nachtragen). Man kann ein Trainingsziel (Wunschgewicht) angeben und wie schnell man es erreichen will. Dann werden die Kalorien ausgerechnet, die man zu sich nehmen darf, um das Ziel in der gewünschten Zeit zu erreichen. Das finde ich klasse. Jeder Schritt, jedes Training führt zum Kalorienverbrauch, der ebenso angezeigt wird. Verbrauchte und zugeführte Kalorien werden aufgerechnet und man hat immer sofort im Blick, wie viel man noch futtern kann. Das ist super für die Motivation und eine gewisse Disziplin.Sehr informativ finde ich auch die Schlafüberwachung. Da sieht man mal, wie wenig ich eigentlich schlafe. Tief- und Leichtschlaf werden aufgezeichnet, sowie Wach- und REM-Phasen.Der Tracker erkennt automatisch verschiedene Trainings wie Radfahren, Crosstrainer, Laufen, Gehen, Aerobic und "Sportart" (wahrscheinlich Ballsport o.Ä.).Man kann außerdem tägliche Ziele festlegen, wie viele aktive Minuten man absolvieren möchte, wie viel man trinken möchte, welche Strecke man mit den Schritten zurücklegen möchte, wie viele Schritte etc.Für die Damen ganz interessant ist der Zykluskalender, in dem man die Periode eintragen kann. Hier allerdings gibt es bessere Apps mit mehr Funktionen.Was mich allerdings ein wenig stört, ist die "Dicke" des Trackers von ca. 1,2 cm, was aber sicher der Technik drinnen geschuldet ist.

I brought this as a more reliable method of step counting so i didn't have to carry my phone around with me constantly. The added bonus is that this also tracks my sleep and heart rate to calculate my cals burnt. Its not too bulky so i hardly notice that i'm wearing it. I should have done more research before buying as i didnt realise this does not accurately track distance walked (it calculates it based on average stride length and steps walked). It also doesn't count the amount of flights of stairs i have walked. This is my own fault for not checking first, however given another choice i would go for a charge2/3 even if those are more bulky.

I bought it because I needed insight on my sleep and wanted to track my workouts. Without doing any research I bought a cheap tracker. I had it for 3 days, I returned because that tracker recorded 700 steps while I was sleeping, it gave me a reading of 40 heart rate after intense workout and it did not record my workout or the calories I burned.Moving on to the fitbit. I chose this one instead of the charge 2 mainly because I have small wrists and even this looks bulky on my arm. But it's comfortable to wear, the band is stiff at first but it has loosen up after a month of use. I will review each feature next:App and syncing: I have a honor 8 phone which is not compatible with fitbit app. I have not had major issues yet. I have had problems syncing a couple of times. Turning off and on the Bluetooth helped fix this. However, I have a backup device wich is my laptop running on windows 10. If I can't sync on the phone I will sync on the computer and the app on the phone will get all the data through the cloud. Make sure you have a compatible device first. Specially those using honor and Huawei phones.Steps: as any devise worn on your wrist fitbit will pick up wrist movements, however, compared to the cheap version it does a pretty good job at not over counting too many steps. For example when rowing 200 meters with the cheap tracker gave 150 steps extra the fitbit gave me 20, when doing 10 pull ups the cheap one picked 40 steps, the fitbit didn't. I wake up every morning with 20 steps compared to the 700 picked by the other tracker. (that's because I move a lot during sleep). Don't expect the step count to be flawless, but at the end of the day a couple hundred extra steps makes no difference. For example if you walked 5200 vs 5000 it's still a good number and if you only did less than 2000 steps is a low number regardless if there were added steps due to wrist movements.Sleep: this is very accurate feature and unfortunately it only confirms that my sleep is very bad.Heart rate: many users have a problem with this feature specifically during workouts. I have had a couple of miss readings, I had once a 198 and a 170 value. I believe I was moving my wrist up and down both times. I saw a big improvement in the readings after 3 days of wearing it. During workout my heart rate doesn't go higher than 130, which at first I thought was inaccurate but I put it to proof. I did 10 squat jumps, 5 burpees and 45 second of jumping the rope. I waited 10 seconds and saw the reading on the watch, then I took my phone out put the timer on and counted myself the beats for one minute. Checked the tracker again and I was 2 or 3 beats off which is understandable. This however may not be the same for everyone so always make sure you are getting accurate readings when working out.Automatic workout selection: this feature is great depending on what you do, unfortunately in my case it only picks up walks. I have to log in manually every workout and sadly what I do is not on the list, so I pick the closest workout. It will then calculate your burned calories according to your heart rateOther feature such as calories in and out, female cycle and water consumption are great and very helpful.Overall is worth it, however always do research on different trackers depending your needs and budget.Make sure to have at least one approved device

The products is of good quality and it helps you in your daily life. But after 6 months of using it both bands have snapped from the inside, the bands were never changed but they were cleaned regularly. When I contacted Fitbit via amazon I didn't receive any response regarding my problem, poor customer service from their part.

This gadget is good for measuring steps etc. but turns out to have suffered, within 7 months, what I now know from various forum postings, is a typical and frequent failure of the clip that holds the wristband, rendering the Fitbit unusable as it keeps falling off. Evidently a design fault that has never been addressed.A request for help to Fitbit customer services has been ignored. What a pity, as it was quite useful before. Don't buy a Fitbit, there are plenty of other similar fitness gadgets on the market.
