My Fitbit flex has seen its last days. It won't keep a charge, and keeps resetting back to 0 during the day.
 
I was looking at a Garmin Vivosmart and was wondering if any of you have one that you might recommend. 4951

@Zokomo: I think the Garmim Vivosmart is the one I have. It was on sale at Verizon last year.  Not sure what I'm going to do when the battery dies because I don't think you can change it.  I just use it for how many steps I took and the time.
The only bad thing is that sometimes I notice it changes even if I'm not walking just driving the car.  You also don't get the steps if you are grocery shopping and pushing the cart.  It only registers if you move your arm. 4951

Got an Epson watch fitness tracker as a Christmas gift. Never use it. I run 2 miles a day M-F as hard as a I can and lift free weight and other exercises. I think if you are really fit you don't need a fitness tracker. You are already on track.  4951

@beastmode: I have to disagree. Fitness trackers and the like can be very useful tools for people who are fit. I use a heart rate monitor for training purposes when running and biking. Running and cycling as hard as I can doesn't cut it when you are doing an endurance event. My HR monitor helps me to keep in my "zone". It's not a good thing when you are tapped out 30 miles into a 70 mile ride.
I also loved having my Jawbone in Germany last year- I loved seeing my daily mileage ( one day it was close to 18 miles!!) and I didn't have to waste phone battery on my GPS app. I also love using the sleep portion to monitor my deep sleep.
I do agree that it's not absolutely necessary that everyone have one - they can be very motivating and provide helpful info to those of us who feel the need for info about what we're doing.
 
I'm hoping to get a FitBit Charge for my BD- that way I don't have to wear my HRstrap for Times when training isn't critical like walking or using my hybrid bike.

@Jpgurl: I agree with this - nobody NEEDS a fitness tracker, but they do have a place, even for people who are already exercising.I run 3 miles about 4 times a week, but do you know what I learned from my fitbit?  I was actually walking FEWER steps on my "run" days than I was on "rest" days.  Because I seemed to believe that since I ran, I was therefore entitled to sit around and do nothing for the next 24 hours.  LOL!  My fitbit gives me a good picture of how active I am overall and it's motivated me to be much more active, even when I'm not "exercising".  I love it.
