Fitbit Flex

Fitbit's alternative to the Nike Fuelband.

Cheaper than some of the competition ; Water resistant

No altimeter ; Not much fun on its own ; Not as accurate as other Fitbits

The Fitbit Flex is the first wrist fitness tracker from the maker of the Fitbit Ultra. It’s reasonably-priced, pretty convenient to slot into your life and is water resistant. However, it lacks some key features compared Fitbit’s other trackers and not...

Fitbit Flex review

No such thing as wrist aversion

Wraps around your wrist ; Lightweight wristband is comfortable ; Track activity and sleep

Display isn't informative ; Strap lacks design ; Few Android devices actually supported

The Fitbit ecosystem is a great way to start using technology to keep on top of your personal health. While the Flex is starting to show its age a bit, like a fine wine it has actually improved with time. The fact it's now more affordable is also a...

Fitbit Flex review: step counting takes a step up

From activity tracking to sleep studying, the Fitbit Flex may be old but it's also effective and cheap

Decent step/sleep tracking ; Super compact form ; Cheap

Under a week's battery life ; No screen as such ; Limited functionality

Fitbit Flex review: Smart but not sexy

Fitbit is no stranger to the activity tracking world with several options under its belt, claiming to have one to suit everyone. The Fitbit Flex is a comfortable, simple-looking activity tracker that might resemble a chunky, colourful rubber band, but...

Fantastic app platform, comfortable and lightweight to wear, works with iOS, Android and Windows Phone, affordable price, accurate sleep tracking, week-long battery life

Design a little chunky, overgenerous with step and distance tracking, sleep tracking fiddly, no altimeter

The Fitbit Flex is a comfortable, simple-looking activity tracker that might resemble a chunky, colourful rubber band, but brings a lot more brains to the party.

Fitbit Flex fitness band takes on Nike Fuelband - Pocket-lint

The Fitbit Flex is Fitbit's take on the Nike Fuel band system and, at $99, it's a cheaper take on it too. The functionality is similar. The band houses

Fitbit Flex review

Keeping fit and using computers didn't used to go together. Sitting in front of a screen for hours doesn't burn calories or do anything for your posture. That was before we could carry our computers around with us, and even exercise with them. There...

The Fitbit Flex is a cool-looking, lightweight wristband that tracks and monitors your daily activity and sleep patterns. It syncs with a desktop dashboard and mobile app to give you up-to-date activity data in gorgeous graphs. You can compete with...

Fitbit Flex review

The $99.95 Fitbit Flex is the newest personal fitness tracker in the company's lineup. While the Flex isn't without some flaws, the gadget is the most complete product of its kind you can buy. It can track steps taken, sleep quality, and it syncs data...

The Fitbit Flex is a simple way to track steps, sleep, and calories. The Flex's strap design makes it light and comfortable to wear. It also offers handy Bluetooth syncing, and Fitbit’s platform gives plenty ways to analyze your stats.

Clasping the Fitbit Flex’s strap shut is tricky. Direct syncing is only available with the iPhone, the Samsung GS3, and the Galaxy Note handsets.

A long list of features and a comfortable fit make Fitbit’s new Flex the best fitness tracker you can buy.
