Fitbit Flex
A wireless wristband activity and sleep tracker, the Fitbit Flex tracks steps taken, distance travelled, calories burned and sleep patterns,
The Flex incorporates a new stat, ‘active minutes’, which monitors how many moderate-intensity cardio minutes a user has completed throughout the day, adding another dimension to measuring activity and achieving goals. The slim and stylish wristband has a LED display that subtly vibrates each time a new goal is achieved, aiding motivation and providing users with progress on the day’s activity. A gamification element means users can earn badges, compete with friends and family.
Fitbit’s online dashboard can easily be modified to provide users with a snapshot of their day according to their priorities. Users can add, remove and edit activity tiles on their homepage so they can see at a glance how close they are to their goals. The new dashboard also features one-click access to history and trends.
The Flex uses Bluetooth 4.0 and NFC, so performance stats can be synced in real time to select smartphones or afterwards with a single tap.
It also integrates with other health and fitness apps on both iOS and Android devices, including Endomondo, LoseIt, MapMyFitness, MyFitnessPal and Sparkpeople.
