I'm sorry if this is the overly asked question, I went back 4 pages and only saw one thread on the topic. Since I only frequent S&B and MM I figured I would seek the advice of H&F and see what you ladies prefer.

Believe it or not, this question really hasn't come up much on this board. There are a group of us that have fitbits that sometimes talk about it but it's not really a hot topic.
I have the Fitbit One. I've worn it attached to my bra for the past year and like it a lot. I've never tried the Jawbone or the fitbit that goes on your wrist so I can't comment on a comparison. I don't think I'd want to wear a bracelet type monitor all the time and have people see it at work, etc. Fitbit has great customer service (i lost mine and they replaced it for free) and nice software that integrates with MyFitness Pal.
I also have a fitbit one, and when I was researching I realized I didn't want anything on my wrist, so that sealed the deal. After having it for several months, I love it because I can clip it on my waist most days and/or onto the middle of my bra strap if I'm wearing a dress or something. It's been instrumental in my weight loss- I also like that it integrates with My Fitness Pal for diet tracking, but that may be the case for the Jawbone as well.
I have a Fit Bit Flex and I wear it on my wrist. No one has commented on it and I actually forget that it's there. I love the silent alarms that you can program into it - makes me be more aware to get up and move. I also like that it's compatible with My Fitness Pal.
I also have a Fitbit One and I really like for the reasons mentioned above. At work I wear it on the center of my bra and nobody notices. I like that it records my sleep patterns as well. The display stopped working and when I couldn't fix it by resetting it, Fitbit send me a new one immediately.

I have the One, which replaced an Ultra I had before. The wristbands weren't available when I got my first FitBit, but I wear a watch daily and didn't want anything else on my wrist anyway and I was used to the Ultra. I had a really good experience with their customer service early on when I had the Ultra, then a really super crappy one after I had the One. They eventually took care of me, but it soured me and I'm not sure I'll replace this one when it dies.
