Fitbit Review (and Giveaway- CLOSED)

EDITED TO ANNOUNCE WINNER: Congratulations to Emily, with comment 195, for winning the Fitbit! I wish I could give one to everyone who entered, but alas, I'm not Bill Gates 🙂

If you know me in person (or have read this blog for a while), you'll know I'm a technophile. I love electronics, and am often an early adopter of new technology. With fitness equipment, however, I'm a little tight fisted. My bare-bones Polar heart rate monitor has served me well since the beginning my regular workouts last year, and it tells me what I need to know when I'm working on my heart-rate based interval training.

About 1 year ago, I had the opportunity to review the BodyMedia FIT, which I had drooled over forever. The activity tracker system worked great, but had some drawbacks as well. All in all, it is a good tool which can be used to help you get more information you need to be accountable in your journey. An essential? No. A nice-to-have? Absolutely.

Recently, I was asked to review the Fitbit, another activity-monitoring device. It has been on my radar for the past several months as people have asked me how it compares to the BodyMedia FIT. So, I agreed to try it out!

Woah, look how cute it is! Little baby Fitbit on its little baby charger!

Basically, you wear the device – on your waist, a shirt pocket, or in my case, my bra – and it monitors your activity. Steps, calories burned, activity times. You can wear it to sleep on a little wrist strap thingy (which is thankfully super comfortable) and it will track your sleep time. You then log on to fitbit.com (or on the Fitbit mobile site) and enter your food and water consumption, and you can add additional activities or identify those you've done during the day to record the most accurate numbers possible.

The device wirelessly syncs if it's in proximity to your computer with the Fitbit receiver attached. Even during the day if you're not synced, you can see directly on the device what your activity levels are:

The flower grows to show how active you are, and the calories burned and steps taken are also displayed.

Let's look at the online system:

An example of my Fitbit snapshot. Here, you can see my calories burned and calories eaten. If you look at my calories burned chart in the bottom left, you can tell I did my workout in the morning before work. On this particular day, I did arms/shoulders/back weight circuits, jogging on the treadmill, the StairMaster, and huffing it on the ARC Trainer.
More detail about my activity for the day. Oy how sedentary. Thanks, desk job.
My sleep. A common issue with me.
My food log.

Some things I realized while using the Fitbit:

  • Holy cow, I DO NOT take any steps when I'm at work. If I didn't exercise, my average steps per day were UNDER 3000! That's bananas. This means I'm getting up and walking a lot more at work, and trying to walk after work even if it's not a “workout”
  • My calories were actually lower than what I thought I was eating. Imagine my surprise when I entered my food and saw how low (for me) my calories were. Tracking is more important than I thought.
  • My sleep is still an issue, even though I thought I was getting better at it. I'm an insomniac, and even with new medicine and a concerted effort to get to sleep earlier, there is still a lot more that can be improved.
  • Side note: My hubs (a complete technophobe) has been begging me to use it when he goes to work (he's a nurse and is on his feet all day). He has been mildly obsessed. I need to set him a profile up and see about lending it to him for a week.

Pros:

  • Super small, you hook it on and forget it. Wasn't visible under clothes.
  • Battery lasts FOREVER (well, not really – but a really long time!) so you don't have to keep remembering to plug it up
  • Display on the actual device is GENIUS – no separate device or computer needed to check your progress throughout the day
  • Wireless sync means never having to remember to plug it in. As soon as I was in vicinity of my laptop with the charger, it would sync up
  • The website is VERY easy to use to both review activity and sleep information and to enter foods
  • The mobile website is AWESOME and is really easy to enter foods on the go no without a separate app for the phone
  • The sleep tracking was eerily accurate
  • No required monthly membership fee to use the service (there is an additional upgrade option for more reporting, but the actual base monitoring is probably thorough enough for most people – me included)

Cons:

  • Um, it's super small, so once you hooked it on, you might forget it – I can see how these might accidentally end up in the washing machine hooked to a bra
  • Not all the foods I eat are in their food database, however this is something I find with many food tracking sites. Entry of custom foods was very easy. Still, it requires some patience when you're near your nutrition labels to get things entered.
  • If you're forgetful (like me) you might forget to wear it, which pretty much defeats the purpose
  • Like other activity trackers, I think the accelerometer isn't quite so friendly to “smooth” activities such as riding a stationary bike or Bikram yoga- not enough bounce to record all the activity. On the flip side, you can go into the online system and add the activity at any time to have those activities more accurately represented in your activity and calories burned.
  • I really wish it had a heart rate monitor also (wishful thinking as I don't think any activity trackers have a HRM component to them).

The Fitbit retails for $99.95 and is available at Fitbit.com or at Best Buy, 24 Hour Fitness, REI and Finish Line retail locations. All in all, the Fitbit is a great tool if you need extra accountability with being honest about how much you're moving during the day. The wireless sync with the easy-to-use food entry system and sleep monitoring gives a great snapshot for your entire day.

The great news? I'm giving one away!

    omgosh! that thing is seriously the coolest! i would love how it shows how active you are and gives you a realistic view of what you’ve burned vs. what you eat. i don’t find my HRM to be very reliable for that. neat!!!

  2. Kelly says

    June 27, 2011 at 10:38 pm

    Wow, I’d love to have one of these! I currently use the Bodybugg, but I’ve looked at these!

    I love the fact that you don’t have to have a monthly subscription with this one! Oh and that the device itself has a display–unlike my Bugg in which I have to wear a separate display.

    I would love this!! I just started a new workout plan but have been struggling with the concept of trying to count calories consumed and calories burned! What a help this would be!

  6. LyndawithaY says

    June 27, 2011 at 10:42 pm

    I’m been avoiding a heart rate monitor because it’s hot, sticky, expensive, gets in the way, sweaty, etc. This is small and adorable and affordable and a good way to see if I really need/want a device like this. Plus the accountability. I liked on twitter and FB, and I already like and follow you!!

    PS I love your new haircut.

  7. Daniel says

    I love the idea of an all day tracker…something to show me how active (or inactive) through out the day! The reporting looks awesome!

    Oooh! I love this — like you, I’m very bare-bones electronically in terms of fitness equipment. All I have is a Polar for workouts, but lately I’ve been thinking I need a better tracker… but do I get a pedometer, a Garmin? This sounds like a good combo option! Reading your review, I think I would love in triple equal parts: 1) tracking daily activity and seeing what I’m REALLY doing. I’d like to know if I’ve been OVER estimating or UNDER estimating my daily activity. 2) the sleep tracker, which is one of the elements I’ve heard about regarding Body Bug that made me really want one. I know good sleep aids weight loss, so I’m super curious. 3) the interface looks SUPER CUTE. I’m a “good interface” nerd. So. 🙂

    I think I would like fitbit because I am not a “techophile” but more of a technophobe! It seems so easy to use and lord knows I could use a swift kick in the rear when it comes to getting exercise as one of my top priorities!

  15. Jean says

    June 27, 2011 at 10:45 pm

    I like the easy accessibility of it. It’s like a set it and forget it, except it’s just a clip it and forget it. I have been debating getting one and your review almost has me convinced.

  16. Myla says

    June 27, 2011 at 10:45 pm

    I have been on my weight loss journey for about 3 years now, and though I have come farther than I ever thought possible of myself, I have been at a plateau for several months. I’m a scientist by day, so I LOVE data and numbers. A FitBit would be a great tool for me to analyze all of my daily behaviors and see where I need to make some changes and get my health going in the right direction again!

    Fitbit looks awesome. I think I would like to see the sleep accuracy the most. I have a 1 year old who get’s me up at least 2 times a night, it would be interesting to see how much sleep I actualy get. Thanks for the opportunity to win a FitBit. 🙂

  36. Dominique says

    June 27, 2011 at 10:51 pm

    I would love a FitBit – I’ve lost a lot of weight so far, but I’m starting to struggle because the game changes every 50 pounds or so. I have to adjust my eating and exercising to work with my new stats. I’m really interested in something like this with an online profile, but can’t afford one on my own right now.

  46. Kenz @ All The Weigh says

    June 27, 2011 at 11:01 pm

    I think the biggest reason I’d love it is that I don’t have to wear it on my arm the way I wore the BodyBugg. I sold that because I was so self-conscious about having it tightly attached to my arm all the time. Something I could hook to my bra would be amazing. And how cute is its tiny little charger? I adore tiny things…

  59. Rachel says

  61. Christine says

    June 27, 2011 at 11:50 pm

    This sounds like a great tool to use. I may need to check more into the Fitbit… checks my steps, my sleep, and I can log my food intake. I love not having to charge it all the time!

  62. Megan @ Healthy Hoggin' says

    June 27, 2011 at 11:50 pm

    I’d like a fitbit because they just started to interface with the tracking software I use to log calories (LoseIt) and I don’t have the financial capability right now to buy any fun new gadgets to help keep me workout motivated. I have to rely on my friends to help keep my rear in gear for workouts!

    I would be psyched about the sleep (because my sleep patterns are jacked up, I’m sure) and I love that it breaks down your activity level between “very active” “lightly” “sedentary” etc. I think I might overestimate my activity level.

    I’ve had on eye on this for a while as I too am an insomniac and think that just the sleep feature would be revealing. I too have a Polar but am looking for a better overall picture of my days. I would be ecstatic to be picked and be able to use such a wonderful too in conjunction with my weight loss and exercise goals.

    Hi Emmie!

    I’d love all of the features! I’d really like to know how many calories I am burning throughout the day. Even when I work out at the gym I don’t know how many cals I’m burning because the machines there can’t be programmed to give someone my weight accurate feedback. 🙁

    I think I’d like the small size in regards to the FitBit. I’m a BodyMedia user and my biggest (and probably only) gripe about it is that it is so conspicuous.

    I’ve been wanting to try the Fitbit for a LONG time but couldn’t justify the expense. I, too, am an office worker who doesn’t take nearly enough steps throughout the day and this fancy little device might just help me keep track & get back on track! Please pick me!!
    Thanx!

    Anyway, I’m interested in two things. One, I’d love to better track my activity. My days are fairly active, but I fear I may be over-estimating how active I really am. Two, I need to track my sleep better. I’d love to know what it has to say about my sleep cycle. How does it do that anyway?

  145. Michelle says

    June 28, 2011 at 7:28 am

    I think the fitbit would be great to measure my sleeping habits. I’ve been having serious issues getting a good nights sleep and it would be great to understand how my body behaves at night.

    What a cool gadget! I think I’m most interested to see the sleep numbers. I think a lot of my problems during the day (fatigue, lack of concentration, etc) come from either dehydration or simply lack of (good) sleep. It would be interesting to see just how much rest I’m actually getting. Seeing my calories burned would also be helpful. Thanks for offering such a great giveaway!

    I would love to know how much I am actually sleeping.

    I’ve been using my FitBit for over a year now and absolutely love it. I don’t use it to its full potential because I can’t seem to track my food.

    I rencently had to reset it because it stopped tracking but other than that I haven’t had any problems. I almost lost it a couple of times because it fell off but luckily I heard it or saw it lying on the ground.

    I would love to know how you copied your FitBit page stats to post on your blog. I’ve been trying to figure out how to do that but haven’t had any success. What’s the trick?

    Drool! I would love to win this. I love that it tells you your sleep efficiency and how long it takes you to get to sleep – I have a lot of trouble with waking in the night and falling asleep too slowly, so I would love to know just how much rest I actually get in any given night. The instant calorie check is also a neat feature!

  194. Lynn Nappari says

    June 28, 2011 at 9:30 am

    This little dynamo looks like an awesome tool to help me know for sure if I’m getting as much activity as I think I am. Since I work from home, I’m never quite sure how much physical activity there is in my artwork, or when I’m working on a DIY project.

    It seems like it could be a real asset as an additional level of monitoring for my sleep apnea, too.

  195. Theresa says

    I’m thinking that it would give me motivation, proof that I have some sleep issues, and it would force me to be more truthful about how much I move around (or not) and how much I eat. I would like to know more about my sleep cycles, and it would help me figure out how to sleep a bit more efficiently (am I sleeping in 3 hour cycles?–then plan to sleep in multiples of 3…)

  199. Tisi says

    I would love to have an accurate way to track my calories burned. I currently use My Fitness Pal, which is beyond awesome, but sometimes I’m unsure if the calories burned is accurate (900 calories for an hour on the elliptical- I’ll take it, but it seems like A LOT). It’s hard to be truly accurate when you are estimating your calories in and out, and I’d love to have a way to do this more accurately. Maybe then I could bust out of this plateau!

I think the best part, for me, is that I don’t have a good sense of how many calories I’m burning in a day (workout day or not), so this would really help me get a better sense of my activity levels outside of my own perceived rate of exertion. Plus, SO CUTE! Thanks for the review/giveaway.

    I would most like the sleep tracking on the fitbit. Well, maybe the more accurate activity tracking too. Can’t decide. Need/want both!

    I would LOVE a Fitbit – I tried the BodyMedia FIT and didn’t like wearing the device on my arm – and also that I had to plug it in to see any results. I think the real-time results on the Fitbit would be AWESOME!

  253. Lilly says

    June 28, 2011 at 11:12 am

    I’d been doing pretty well last year, but a bad injury in January sidelined me from my proud 50-pound loss. I’ve gained a little back and I’m having SO much trouble getting back into it. My health is suffering, my mojo is gone, my motivation gone, and so I need a kick in the pants. I’d like to think this would do it.

  254. Madonna says

    June 28, 2011 at 11:13 am

    I think this would be super handy esp in the beginning to find out just how active a person really is. Sometimes I think I am trying harder to move more but not sure if its working or not.

    I like how the FitBit tracks food and sleep and activity. All three are so relevant to weight loss. You may think you’re eating right and exercising only to find that you aren’t getting enough sleep. It’s a great use of technology to get and stay healthy!

    I think I would love love love to try the FitBit! I am currently expecting (21.5 weeks) and I am finding it SO hard to manage my pregnancy weight gain. I’m trying to stay active, but I also don’t want to be one of these women that gains 100 pounds during her pregnancy. I think the FitBit would give me a better idea of the calories I’m actually burning so that I could manage my food better. I also think it would be SUPER helpful when I start working off these pregnancy pounds come November!

    This is a great giveaway! Hope I win!!

I’ve been looking at Fitbit for over a year now, but just didn’t have the dollars to get me one. I really think it would motivate me to move more once I see how much I don’t in black and white! hahaha. Thanks for doing the giveaway…that’s really sweet!

    I would LOVE to be able to track how everyday bits of activity (parking far away, skipping around with my puppy, dancing alone in my kitchen) in addition to running help me on my healthiness journey. When the journey gets really tough, knowing small choices really matter will be super motivation (I’ve lost 90lbs and want to lose 30 more)

    The Fitbit sounds awesome! I have been working out consistently for nearly 2 years now and have managed to loose 20+ pounds, but I have been at a plateau for the last year or so. I know I need to change up my workout routine (which I have just started doing), possibly add some light activity (such as evening walks) and track my eating, so it sounds like the Fitbit would be a valuable tool in helping me acheive my fitness goals.

    P.S. I absolutely love your blog. You tell funny stories, you are honest, and you are a great writer.

    This sounds like just the thing I’ve been looking into getting. I’m beyond curious what my daily calorie burn/activity is, and what a great way to become more accountable with my movements. I too sit at a desk every day, and can’t help but wonder if I would purposely move more throughout the day just to up my steps. Thanks for the review! I would love to enter your give-away.

    Thank you for your thorough review of the fitbit, I have been thinking of getting one. I really like the fact that it would be small enough to put on my bra, I often wear dresses to work and I have yet to find a pedometer that works for me when I don’t have a waistband.

    I’m pretty curious about the sleep tracking aspect of it. I already use a Nike+ sportband to record how much I walk, but it’d be neat to have a little gizmo that tracks all the non-fitness-oriented activities I do during the day.

  454. Kathy says

    June 28, 2011 at 11:10 pm

    I am interested in how much exercise I really do when I’m doing the mundane things like pulling weeds or getting up from the TV to get another glass of water. I’m afraid of how inactive it will say I am, but that is a good thing – right? I mean, I will see how much more exercise I should be doing!

  464. Chas says

    June 29, 2011 at 9:28 am

    You have done a nice job summarizing the capabilities of FitBit. I’m also interested in the tool. I’ve been using the Bodybugg for 6 months. This is very similar to the Bodymedia tool you are comparing to the FitBit. I think I’d most like the FitBit due
    1. to it’s size being easier to conceal compared to the Bodybugg
    2. No subscription fee
    3. Tracks sleep
    Thanks for sharing your review!

  465. Rebecca says

    I’d like a Fitbit in order to see how much energy I REALLY expend throughout the day, and when that energy is used. It’d probably motivate me to try to move around more!

    I’ve been wondering about these since it integrated with Loseit! This was a great review and I love the screenshots.

    With a 2-month old baby, I think the most interesting thing would be to measure my sleep efficiency these days, and how it (hopefully!) improves over time…

    WOW–over 500 comments…well I will give it a try anyway. I would like a FitBit because I am 61 years old and trying to become more accountable. I think this would help me because it looks like it is full service. Activity and food intake in one easy to use location. Thanks for the opportunity!!

    I’ve been tempted by the Fitbit for a while too. I like that it will track your various activity levels through the day plus your sleep patterns.

    I would love to have a Fitbit to help me get on track. I am still struggling with my weight. I just cannot seem to lose any in spite of all the exercising I am doing. So, I must be doing something wrong and maybe Fitbit can help me. Also, I love tech gadgets!

    I’ve been really contemplating buying the fitbit and I think that the thing that I would like most about it is the ability to see a longterm record of my activity. Plus, I’d like to see if I’m getting enough sleep.

    I’ve never heard of FitBit before and it sounds like a useful and entertaining way to track my progress! And like many others, I am intrigued by the sleep feature – especially because I work nights.

  539. Kate Dotson says

    June 30, 2011 at 6:40 am

    I would LOVE this to monitor my sleeping! I work shift work, so sleeping enough/well enough is a major issue. and obviously, would love it for all of the other cool things it does. 🙂

  540. Donca says

    I would love to use the fitbit to see how much I am burning throughout the day. I am on my feet at work but on my days off sometimes I feel like I am too sedentary. Tracking sleep would also be interesting. Fingers crosses !!!!!

  541. CrystalH says

    June 30, 2011 at 9:47 am

    I would use fitbit to truly track my activity. I think I often overestimate. It would be cool to have an accurate number.

    I think I’d like the no-thought syncing.  That way I don’t lose my data because it was a long day and I just didn’t have time to sync the device.

    I’ve wondered about this tool, and I like your take on it.  I’m glad it worked for you on your bra strap (my reg pedometer doesn’t do that – the day I tried it recorded 43 steps.  Not even close).
