![]() So for instance, if the Fitbit Flex lights up with 3 lights that means you are at 60% of your daily goal. The unit has 5 LED lights that show you current daily goals and progress. The device is sort of hybrid between the Nike Fuel Band and the Jawbone Up in that it does have a small amount of on device feedback. There is no wiring or anything inside the band, save for the brains of the operation, which is the center tracker that stays snug in its holster. The wrist strap feels like a very thick rubber band and gives the impression that it would be pretty tough to break it. It feels very lightweight and secure – there’s no way this thing will fall out, that’s for sure. The actual unit sits inside a rubber wrist cradle on the back of the wristband. It is definitely not my favorite Fitbit, at least not in terms of durability. Out of all the Fitbits, this one is easily the most fragile.

If you're in the market for a fitness tracker for yourself: The Flex is a great device. There's also some scales you can buy, which is something I think will motivate me much more into getting out and being more active, and watching what I eat. The Fitbit Flex provides two wristbands in the package, the wireless sync dongle, the feature-packed Dashboard, the mobile app, and much more. There are plenty of others out there, but Fitbit has a treasure trove of goodness here. This is my first, and certainly not my last fitness tracker. The Fitbit Flex has converted me into a fitness tracking lover. It's not really even a negative, or a "What's Not," but more of a: "Remember, before you buy the Flex, the Force is out now, people." Final Thoughts I don't mind, as I was able to dip my toes into the world of fitness wearables with the Flex, and it is not something I regret doing. The Fitbit Force is Now Here - Damn it! But, this is the way it is in the tech world things move incredibly fast. This is why the company has provided a well thought out mobile app. Mobile Fitnessīecause you're wearing a device that doesn't have a full-blown mobile OS, or a proper touchscreen, the things you can do directly with your Flex are limited. The social aspects of Fitbit are endless thanks to the mobile app, and the amazing Dashboard. You can cheer each other on, or push each other to catch up. If you're someone who is competitive, the social nature of using a Fitbit fitness tracker will definitely come into play. ![]() You can add friends within the Dashboard of Fitbit (both on the desktop, and mobile app), which lets the competitive nature of us all come out. You can manually sync the Flex (if you want up-to-date numbers) by simply refreshing the Flex Dashboard on your browser -just in case you want some serious minute-by-minute tracking. This is incredibly freeing, as I don't need to do anything to sync my Flex -great! So, every time I sit back down in my chair, my Flex syncs to the dongle and to my Fitbit account. I have mine plugged into my Intel NUC desktop PC, which is the machine that I work on for most of the day. Once this is in, there's no reason to remove it unless you're physically moving it to another machine or laptop. When you're setting up the Flex, you'll plug the wireless sync dongle into your PC, or Mac.
