I'm sure this has been asked before but

I'm getting back on the fitness train.  I used to have a fitbit (the little one that clips to your bra or whatever) but I washed it by mistake and it's kaput.  But since buying it, I know there have been a ton of new fitness trackers out there.  Anyone have a rec for one or should I just stick with the regular fitbit?

How long ago did you buy your fitbit? Sometimes if you email them, they are willing to replace it for free. (They just replaced my water-damaged one recently.)

Just FYI (and because I'm a whore for Costco), Costco has the Fitbit Flex plus extra wristbands for the same price as just the tracker and black bad from Fitbit.

Here are a couple articles comparing several kinds:

Ah, thanks! I love Costco!

It was a while ago when I bought my fitbit. 2 years maybe? The first clip broke and they replaced it for free but I doubt they'd replace the whole thing since I stupidly washed & dried it.

You'd be surprised...I lost mine and they replaced it.  But I think it has to be under a year from purchase.

I still use my FitBit One and prefer it to the bracelet style Fitbit flex.

My H has the bracelet style and it drives me nuts. Lol.

Oh, that's what the Flex is, and that's what's at Costco.

The One had both clip and bracelet portions, I believe.

The Zip is just the clip.

I've washed my Zip twice. I cannot be trusted with things that clip to my bra. Thanks to lots of soaking in rice and a new battery, though, it still works. I am giving it to a friend because I am in love with my Flex. I try to get up early to workout and my alarm always ways H up. I am really digging the silent vibrating alarm on the Flex.

Ugh, it's not so silent when your H's wrist is lying right next to your ear.  Lol.  I have to get up before him so it's NBD but it's not as silent as it could be.
