somebody please talk to me about the models/benefits of each.
the REI 20% off coupon is scheduled to be released "sometime in october", so i'll be getting mine soon. i didn't realize there would be more options to choose from!
It does everything the fitbit that's currently on the market does (stairs, calories, distance, steps, sleep), but it syncs with a smart phone via bluetooth. Right now it's only syncing with apple, but it says coming soon for Android.
REI should be getting the new fitbits in too, when they come out.
but does the new one not do flights of stairs? cause that's kinda what i wanted...i do lots and lots of stairs at work. but the synching with a smartphone is kinda cool......except i have a blackberry and h has windows phone.
The little one (I think it's called the zip?) does not do stairs. Only the Ultra (the current one out) and the One (new one that syncs via bluetooth) does stairs.
Your H has a windows phone?! I've never met anyone who didn't work at MSFT that had a windows phone. H has been trying to convince me to get one, but I won't leave Android for this reason. Oh and isn't in a heap of financial trouble? I imagine they'll go belly up sooner or later anyway.
i told h that there's a new fitbit coming out, and i should probably get the new one...might not be timed right with the REI coupon...etc etc etc....he sends me an email "so i should cancel this order then?" he already ordered it for me. he got a 20% off coupon bc REI messed up his order a while ago, and he didn't tell me so he could buy fitbit for me.
it hasn't shipped yet. should i tell him to cancel?
Weeeeeeellllllllllllll, I'm an arsehole, so I would say yes. I'd rather wait to get the One instead of getting the one that's out now. I think it's released in a month or so.
Oh oh or you could just let it ship, think on it and then take it back to the store if you decide you do want the new one. REI has that great return policy.

this is what i was thinking, but i love REI and don't want to take advantage of them. and i was wrong, it did ship. but i know they'll take it back and we can probably exchange it...
hmmm....i think our consensus is to keep it, unopened, and exchange it for the new one. i don't want to risk them not taking it back...but omg. staring at a pretty box and not being able to use it?
we're going to portland next weekend for a 5k (the color run, yay!). he ordered it and had it shipped to the REI in portland (save on tax!). he was going to have a friend pick it up for us, then set it up for me, and have it ready for me saturday morning and give it to me right before the 5k. how sweet is that?
