Fitbit or simular any good

[BLDY&McGoo]

I have a fitbit one as i cant wear anything on my wrist at work so it attaches to my bra. (Comfier & a bit more secure than on my hip)

I really like it but dont have many people to challenge with so would happily have some dibber friends add me - themcgowanfamily@hotmail.co.uk or send me theirs so i can add them!

I normally walk about 6k a day but some days when im being lazy its about 200! x

Ive sent it, I walk quite a bit in week , Monday to Friday I did just over 100,000 steps ... I don't usually do that any lol but weekends I often work so don't clock up as many steps this weekend it's about 28,000 so far over the two days

I have the charge2 and love it! I find my favourite part is the challenges as it really motivates me

Is it the charge HR you have? I wasn't sure if the bands can be replaced on them but if they can it'd be helpful to know as dd's has come away. The info i found said it couldn't be changed but maybe that was the charge. I know it's a common problem (didn't till I Googled it) and they have offered a replacement or 50% off a different model but not sure what to do and thought i could maybe get a new band for the old one and upgrade for dd.

Really love it but there is a but!
The strap started to bulge where it joins the unit and this gradually got worse. It was basically coming away. Took it back and Argos swopped it this weekend no problems. The lady said she had seen others come back for the same reason. quick google and you will see this is a common issue. However, I love mine so much I would still recommend it but also say just buy it somewhere local that you can easily return to if needs be rather than online. Mine is 6 months old and my daughters both got one at the same time and their's are fine but they haven't used it as much for excercise so maybe sweat is the factor? It is designed for that though so no excuse.

Ooh this worries me as we've been told dd's charge hr can be replaced or we can upgrade at 50% off. We were considering the charge2 but sounds like a similar problem to what we've had!
