I have used a Fitbit for several years now. My first one I wore until it died (Fitbit Force) and now I use a Fitbit Charge HR. I actually leave the heartrate function turned off most of the time as the green laser I find distracting at night and plus it's a battery hog. But I love the step counter, the sleep tracker and the challenges. I wear mine 24 hours a day only taking it off to shower or to charge it. It has definitely helped me get more active- finding out that I was averaging less than 5K steps per day on a normal day was a huge wake up call. My target steps is 12K a day. I wish I could say I hit it every day, but I don't. But the Fitbit helps. I will see my number and go for a walk around the block, at least. I walk more in summer than winter- sometimes it's really hard to convince myself to go out in the cold and dark.
