Fitbit Flex Review
Wear this Fitbit Flex FB401BK wristband to monitor steps taken, distance, calories burned and active minutes, so you can easily set daily activity.
It can track how many steps you take in a day, the distance you've walked, calories burned, weight, sleep patterns, and even how much water you've consumed (although you have to enter how many glasses you drink manually).
The Flex wirelessly syncs this data to your computer (through a small wireless USB dongle). There are also smartphone apps for Android and iPhone that the device talks to via a low-energy Bluetooth connection.
The band itself lasts five days to a full week on a charge, depending on how often you tap it to sync your progress, and it's easy to charge via USB just by snapping the tiny sensor into a cradle.
The Fitbit hasn't encouraged me to get to the gym more. I imagine if I did, I would know more about how many calories I was burning without having to hold onto a treadmill sensor.
The Flex breaks away from the pack because of its versatility, minimal form factor, and a ton of sensors that contribute to the user becoming healthier.
Overall, the Flex is a testament to the wearable technology market that is quickly becoming mainstream, especially when it comes to tracking personal fitness.
