Fitbit Flex and Jawbone up24

[bullygirl979]

Anyone have either model? I think I'm going to take the plunge and get one, but I'm not sure which one I want.

If you have either model, can you tell me what you like/dislike about it and why? Thanks!!

Jawbones tend to not get good reviews just from my internet wanderings.

I've had the Flex for about a year now, and have been happy with it for the most part. I had an issue after 7 months where it stopped charging and they completely replaced it with no problem. The silent alarm may not work for everyone, but I LOVE it.

I would say the main negative is the design. I don't like the cheap looking band, but I know they have had some special edition designs. And the charging contacts tend to get dirty and stop charging, so I have to make sure that it actually lights up when I put it on the charger. A quick swipe of alcohol usually solves the problem. (Well, except the one time I mentioned above...)

I have the fitbit flex and I like the silent alarms, the sleep tracker and that it motivates me to get more steps in every day. It's not a magic weight loss tool but gives you lots of data. I also bought the Aria scale that syncs with the Fitbit. I'm not sure the body fat is accurate but I like that they sync up.
