I'm buying a flex today and planned on going for hot pink. I mentioned it to a friend who side-eyed the color choice as not professional. We both work in a conservative, male-dominated industry. She has a black one for this reason.
So, what color Fitbit do you have (if you have a bracelet style) and do you think a "fun" color is appropriate for work?
Whether a fun color is appropriate for work depends on what you do. I chose a boring, neutral color because I wanted it to be something I didn't have to take off for certain meetings.
Pink would have been fine even in the conservative office I used to work in, but it wouldn't have worked for court, client meetings, etc.

I have hot pink and black. I also have navy, but the clasp won't close in it - it's like the holes weren't cut big enough.
I work in a fairly laid back government agency so I think hot pink is fine as long as it coordinates with my outfit. When I wear a purple dress with a pink scarf, I wear pink. When I wear my burgundy dress with gold scarf, I switch to black. When I wear all black and white with bright red lipstick, I wear black.
But hot pink is my default color because pink is my signature color.

DH ordered a 10 pack of wristbands when I got him a Fitbit at Christmas. I bought another tracker off eBay, and I've commandeered the aqua and hot pink ones.
But then again, I work in a very casual office where I could wear yoga pants every day if I really wanted to.
I have the One in red. It's not visible, I just needed a color other than black so I don't lose it amongst my mostly black clothes. I would follow the same protocol if I were going to get a model that always visible, but in a conservative profession, it might be best to either go with black, or one that doesn't show at all.
I work in a conservative industry that is male-dominated as well. I wear a pink one. I can only think of a handful of instances where'd I'd consider it too much for a client meeting but I also wear pink shoes to client meetings or a pink scarf.
My only problem is pink is my favorite color so if I'm not careful I can start to look Barbied out with accessories.

I have lots of different ones. Black, slate grey, purple, lavender, turquoise, aqua, hot pink, pale pink, lime green. I get bored with the color and switch it up.
