    Loving the fitbit flex 2! It helps to keep me mindful of my day-to-day activities and how I sleep at night. Worked great right out of the box. Love seeing my activities tracked. Band is comfortable to wear all day and sleep with at night. Super lightweight too. Glad I went with the flex instead of a bigger band like the Alta. Very happy!

    Does what it says it'll do, tracks your steps, monitors your sleep, and finally they're waterproof so it can also track swimming laps. I like how it has notifications for phone messages and movement reminders that you can opt in and out of. It's light, comfortable and very easy to wear/use solid little fitness friend. Down side is with certain settings it has a very short battery life, upside is if you set it right the charge last is about 4 days with continued wear. Charging isn't that slow either but it does take around an hour for a full recharge (I tend to charge it at night as tracking my sleep is a secondary use on it for me)

    I bought this device for my wife and she loves it, now she can keep track of all her activities such as; calories burnt, how many steps a day she does and how much sleep she is getting. She gets a digital track of her activities through flex 2. She loves this device and I do too since she can now track everything she does with this device by simply downloading the app on to her phone or computer and by the end of the day she knows what she has done or what she needs to do to keep in track.

    I've been wanting to get a Fitbit for a while, and so glad I did. It actually makes me want to get up and walk, exercise, watch my calorie intake, etc. Although I bought the very basic one, it does everything I need it to do, and at a very good price.

    I am replacing my Fitbit Zip with the Fitbit Flex 2. I like the fact that it is a waterproof bracelet and can handle sweat when exercising. It works so well with my smart phone even though it's not a real expensive phone.

    I originally purchased this activity tracker to participate in a group challenge at work that measured steps for the workweek. I'm glad I did! One of the biggest pluses I can say about this comes with the battery life on each charge. Being able to have this monitor on you for days at a time without worrying about battery is a gigantic positive! If you are looking to get a very consistent reading on your activity - what better way than truly wearing it for extended periods of time? This activity tracker is also water resistant which is another notch in the "I don't have to take it off for certain activities" plus! So far I have had not had any issues with any exposure to water and look forward to trying this in the summer when swimming may come into my fitness routine. The accompanying app and website for iOS has been a pleasure to use and has a lot of different options to see your progress. Although I don't really use the notification ability - it's nice to know that it is there. The goal reaching alert though always gives me a boost when I realize I reached my goal for the day! One feature that I was very interested in checking out was the sleep monitor. Granted this isn't hooked into brain waves or anything like that, but I must say, for me at least this feature was scary accurate. I know people have had mixed results on this, but to my best knowledge, the "restless" moments during the night were spot on and the hours count was eye opening (both in accuracy and the fact I'm not getting as much as I should be)! The fact that this has been accurate also highlights how I can wear the tracker for days without charging. If I had to charge it every day I'd charge it while sleeping! In terms of fit and feel, there's enough on the included band to find the right fit that I forget that it's even there. Long sleeve and even during intense HIIT workouts, it does NOT get in the way during pushups or any other type of activity that has given me trouble on other wearables. Granted there's no screen so it's a lot slimmer - but at the same time the no screen is also a plus with the slim structure! So if you're wondering why I didn't give it a full 5 stars - I would simply say because of the fact it is somewhat limited in readings. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but it doesn't have every feature you might be in the market for - you may want to get a more advanced model for heart rate for example. For it's class though, this product is top notch and if the feature set fits your needs I wouldn't hesitate at all buying this wearable!

    I chose this tracker based on the price tag associated with it. My requirement was to track the number of steps as part of fitness challenge incentive program at work. This tracker fits the role perfectly. Battery life is a huge plus, it can easily sustain 5+ days of usage. The ability to record sleep (tracker does automatically) and nutrition/calorie logging in the app is a bonus.

    I've stayed away from Fitbit (and other fitness trackers) because they were not waterproof. I read about the Flex 2 Fitbit being released and it can be worn while swimming and showering. I wanted one that I would only have to take off to charge once a week or so and this one fits the bill. Good price, very comfortable. The setup with the Fitbit App from the Windows store for Windows 10 was very easy, and my computer bluetooth saw the unit right away. Please note that there are both a small and large band included, but only one of them has the metal clasp for closing the band. If the band you want to use does not have the clasp on it, you have to remove the clasp from the other band and put it on the one you want to use. Very pleased so far. I'm figuring the band will last a year or two but I can always replace the band when needed.

    I looked at many activity tracker bands and finally choose the FitBit Flex 2. The battery lasts about 4 days, the band is waterproof in the shower and swimming, but if you get it wet you have to remove the charging part from the band and dry it out. I had to get use to the colors and what they mean. I like how when someone calls, texts or if I set the alarm the band vibrates. One of my favorite features is the band will vibrate once an hour to remind you to get up and move if you have been sitting to long. The cons of this band is you can't see anything on the screen other than the colors. So if you need a watch or want to see the read out this is not the band for you. I have a watch and wanted a band to track my activity, the band I wanted I did not want to look like I had a watch on both wrists so that is why I choose this band. In addition I love the app for FitBit.

    This fit bit was a perfect choice for me because I'm not interested in having another watch or one that does all sorts of fancy things. I just wanted a device that would accurately track my steps and give me a good indication as to my sleep cycle . It is waterproof and I can wear it while swimming or taking a shower . I can choose to wear the band around my arm or my leg.

    Hi, Its been almost 8 months since i started using Fitbit Flex2 and its really awesome! the trackings are accurate and at this price, a waterproof product is really a fantastic deal. the Swim proof and night sleep tracking features really makes it more worthy and i am happy i purchased this. Thank You!

    It tracks your steps, looks nice, and isn't cumbersome. Great battery life also. The ONLY downside is that the device itself can come out if your not super careful (say diving for a catch in a baseball game). Normal daily use and in the gym shouldn't be an issue.

    I have been looking at this for a while. Missed the January sale and waited. When they went on sale in may I jumped at it figuring I had the Best Buy 15 day warranty to try it out. I was tracking steps with my phone but it wasn't accurate because I don't always carry my phone. I choose this one because I already had a garmon forerunner for running and didn't need another watch ( maybe when that dies I"ll upgrade) I really like that I can swim in this one and track laps ( I haven't tried this yet) once it gets warm enough for me to swim. I enjoy using it now to track steps/activity, food, and especially sleep! I didn't realize how many times I was "restless" through the night. I am considering getting the metal bracelet in the future with my rewards certificates:) I obviously kept it past my 15 days and enjoy using it daily.

    Accurately tracks my steps (seems to me its main function is as a pedometer). It alerts me when I've been sitting still for too long... usually 10 minutes before the top of each hour. Tracks my active minutes. For me this is walking or cycling, but it also tracks swimming (waterproof), aerobic exercise, etc. Through the app you can also monitor caloric and water intake, set exercise goals and weight loss goals. I really like the alerting functions that I have tied to my phone. I get an alert whenever I receive a text or phone call. My phone is often on silent mode, so this unexpected benefit was huge to me. It also tracks your sleep (time sleeping, restless and awake). I've found it to be quite accurate though I don't have sleep issues and so really don't use it. Package came with both the large and small adjustable wristbands, so this should fit just about any one. If I had complaints these would be minor. The power charge only seems to last about 2-1/2 days. This isn't an issue for me. Since I don't sleep with it I charge it each night with my phone. Also, I previously had a Fitbit Zip which required a battery. Charging is much better than buying a battery. That said the charge to full seems relatively short (2 or 3 hours). But, I can see if you are someone who would wear the tracker all the time (including sleeping) that this may be a hassle for you. Also, there is no heartbeat monitor or stairs (incline) counter/monitor. I knew this when buying and was not looking for either. If you are then this item is not for you. Otherwise, I think it's great for what it is and recommend it to someone wanting a reliable pedometer with some extra features.

    Awesome Little Device

    I bought this not quite knowing what it's full capabilities were (I'm a bit of a technophobe). I was able to set it up with even my limited capabilities thinking it was essentially just an electronic pedometer. I was pleasantly surprised it was soooo much more. It allows me to put in my food log and tell me how many more calories I have. It increases that when I continue to do my part to burn calories through walknig or various exercises. It also logs my sleep cycle and gives me goals for how much sleep I'd like to get in. Same goes for weight loss goals. It allows me to tell it how much I want to lose and at what pace I can lose it at. It will also help me maitain my weight when I've hit my goal with a new set of suggestions for caloric intake and output. I kind of find myself excited for my weekly weigh in and watch the little graph chart decline. I also force myself to hit my goal steps when I can actually see what I have left to do. It vibrates when you've been succesful at something (a sort of mini applause). My only frustration is that often there is a delay in displaying how many steps I've put in. Frustrating when you're watching it as you work out and want to see the numbers climb in real time. Can't beat the price and I am working harder than I have before as far as losing weight because I have this little partner helping me and oddly encouraging me.

    The Flex 2 is perfect for people who want a simple device for step tracking. The Flex 2 shows me how well I slept and reminds me to get up and move on the schedule I choose. It keeps its charge for about a week. Band is okay.

    the app keeps being improved by developer, and the band shows no sign of damage after more than 6 months of daily use (including swimming in ocean, taking showers with it, sweaty workout sessions, rough play with kids) only gripe is about the battery life. it doesn't make it to a full week (7 days). manufacturer doesn't claim that, but I've had other bands (jawbone, which unfortunately had design issues on the band itself, not the electronics) similar in size which went for a solid 7 days and were also waterproof. other than that, this is as solid as it gets for a semi-serious fitness tracker enthusiast. it seems more accurate in step tracking than my samsung watch, and the sleep tracker is top notch.
