FITBIT **Updated with another question :) Garmin Vivofit

[Muddled]

You haven't gotten your H's present yet, have you?

What will you be using it for?  For exercising I use a Polar watch heart rate monitor. You can find them for under a $100 and I really love it.

I was going to recommend the Jawbone Up 24 because I like the sleep tracking component but it's not one of the more inexpensive ones. So, uh. Yeah. Maybe there's a good holiday deal out there?

I like my Fitbit. It's basic but it does the job :-)

I just got a Jawbone (not the 24, the previous model) this week and like it so far. I paid $30 on a great Best Buy sale. For my purposes it's great. I want to track active time, steps and sleep. I need to dig into the sleep tracking, I'm not sure exactly how much it tracks. I do LOVE the silent alarm feature.

I had a fitbit zip (lowest end model) and now have the one. I love having it. I do wish I had something that had a heart rate monitor, but I'm not willing to shell out the cash.

Fitbit is offering free overnight delivery right now! Just sayin'...

I don't know anything about the Vivofit, but I have different Garmin (forerunner 110) and I love it.

The clasp looks similar to the fit bit, so I can't imagine there'd be an issue with it, though of course I can't say for sure.

Is the band also the style where the little plastic nodes press into the spacing on the band to keep it in place?

That my main concern is it maybe falling off/getting caught on a sleeve and detaching.

I had to go look and see what the Vivo looked like. No, mine is more like a normal watch clasp. 

So I'm no help, sorry!

I had a Fitbit and really hated the clasp. I have a Jawbone now and I love it. It's very secure and the smart alarm is awesome

I could get the Jawbone 24 for the same price right now ($74 after my discount) and and strongly debating going to switch it out.

How long have you had yours? The battery life is longest with the Garmin (guaranteed a year) but I think the Jawbone is less right?  

I've had mine for about 6 months. The battery lasts about 10 days and it charges really quickly. Honestly, for the same price I'd go for the Jawbone over Garmin because I really like the sleep tracking. I really love mine!

Supposedly there is the next generation of Fitbit coming out in January-ish. DH's birthday is then and that's why I'm prob getting it for his birthday instead of Christmas.
