Pretty sure that 90% of the United States is wearing a Fitbit at this given moment. OK, maybe not 90%, but I bet I’m close. In May of 2013 the Fitbit Flex was released. People went ape-shit over these little activity trackers. All my friends were rockin them, talking about them and obsessed with them. I was not. Thought it was lame. Then Christmas 2014 guess what I found in my stocking? A Fitbit Flex. I strapped that thing on as soon as I busted it out of the package. Honestly, I haven’t really taken it off since. I am a Fitbit rockin + talkin + obsessed freak now. If you’re not on the Fitbit bandwagon yet, let me break it down for you.
Fitbit Flex, which is a device that one wears on the wrist. It tracks movement 24 hours a day, including sleep patterns. It has a simple display of 5 LED lights which indicate the number of steps taken in a day, and it vibrates to indicate that your goal has been reached. The lights also indicate battery level. The Fitbit Flex has almost all the same sync functions as the Fitbit One and Zip. The Flex is also the most water-resistant tracker; it can be worn while showering, but not while swimming. The Fitbit Flex includes a specialized USB charger; the battery lasts 5–7 days, and it takes 1–2 hours to charge.
I bet you want one now, huh?
