QuestionWhat is the difference between the $99.99 fitbit and the $129.99 fitbit?
Asked 11 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer The fitbit charge ($129) has a clock (military time also if you prefer) and incoming calls display on its face. There are numerous silent alarms which can be set to vibrate. The fitbit flex ($99) only has a row of lights to display your progress. Although, the flex, has the option of interchangeable colored wrist bands. I've had both and prefer the charge.

QuestionSteps vs. Arm raisingA co worker has one and said it registers as a step even if you just raise your arm for basic tasks like brushing your hair or taking a drink of something. Is this true? If so, the "steps" number will be highly skewed.
Asked 10 years ago by Debating.

QuestionDo you have to tell the Fitbit charge when to go to sleep mode.Wondering if it needs to be programmed when to measure sleep patterns.
Asked 10 years ago by lizzy.
- Answer No. Simply wearing it on my wrist, it automatically picks up everything: my sleep hours & minutes, my awake # and minutes during "sleep", and my 'restless' times/minutes during "sleep". If I take the Fitbit off at bedtime, it does not measure sleep!. It sleeps :-).

QuestionFitbit charge hr battery will not hold charge for longer then one day?Is this normal?
Asked 10 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer My battery would initially last about 3-4 days before needing to be charged. With my 1st FitBit Charge HR I noticed it stopped holding a charge as long after about a year. I'm guessing its like the issue with overcharging a cell phone battery. It can create a memory and only charge to that point...However, I can say the Jawbone really does have a much better battery life.
  I would recommend:
