  • Abstract:  We've never seen so much tech crammed into such a small form. The Flex is a 
pill-sized sensor that slips into a comfy, rubberised wrist strap. It packs in – take a deep breath – Bluetooth 4.0 to feed your phone live tracking info, NFC to start the mobile...

  • Abstract:  The Fitbit Flex is a cool-looking, lightweight wristband that tracks and monitors your daily activity and sleep patterns. It syncs with a desktop dashboard and mobile app to give you up-to-date activity data in gorgeous graphs. You can compete with Fitbit-using friends and even upgrade to a premium Daily Trainer service. I found the Fitbit Flex gave me added motivation to walk or run that bit further, and keep an eye on my weight and fitness activities. It’s addictive and fun, and if that gets you moving more and generally fitter and leaner it’s better for you than most other computing or mobile devices.....

  • For those with serious health issues or figure-focused fitness fanatics, for £40 a year, the Fitbit premium service delivers some tidily presented stats based on your exercise and diet regimes, along with suggestions and training plans. However, if you w...

  • Fitbit prides itself on making the out of box experience painless, and the Flex succeeds in this: the simple walkthrough had us up and running in minutes. In the box, you get two different straps for large and small wrists, as well as a charger and a dongle to sync data from the Flex’s tiny core unit to your laptop (it’ll also play nice with recent iOS devices and Android smartphones with Bluetoo
  • Nike’s Fuelband may not play nice with Google phones, but the sports giant has got one thing right: it keeps things simple. While its Fuel points for movement are a bit arbitrary, they’re all you get, and they’re a simple way to keep urging you on - do a bit more of what you’re doing, whether that’s walking, rowing, or even running for the bus. There’s a lot to take in with the Fitbit Flex, and a
  • The Fitbit Flex is a solid entry into the nascent fitness band category, and if you’re on Android, or already hooked into online services that integrate with Fitbit’s software, it’s an excellent choice. But it has plenty of competition: for everyone el...

  • Limited display of information on device, No altimeter
  • If you specifically want a wristband activity tracker, the Fitbit Flex is the best you'll find. It's extremely comfortable, very competitively priced, stylish, simple, and most important of all, comes with all the benefits of a Fitbit.com web account. Be...

  • Cheaper than some of the competition, Water resistant
  • No altimeter, Not much fun on its own, Not as accurate as other Fitbits
  • The Fitbit Flex is the first wrist fitness tracker from the maker of the Fitbit Ultra. It's reasonably-priced, pretty convenient to slot into your life and is water resistant. However, it lacks some key features compared Fitbit's other trackers and not a...

  • Abstract:  Sarahsfit(bit)ayeI was lucky enough to receive a Fitbit earlier this year for my birthday, and I pretty much didn't take it off for about 6 months. I'm a little obsessed with fitness, as I'm sure most people who such a product is aimed at are. I had been...

  • With less accuracy and fewer features than similarly priced hardware, the FitBit Flex feels more like a novelty when measured against other popular wearable fitness trackers. And newer, more capable devices on the horizon will be capable of providing even...
