Well a walk to and from Dick Smith later and I now have one.
So it says it tracks sleep automatically? So I don't have to use the app to begin or add sleep log?
That is something I am very interesting in seeing.

which did you get?
Charge HR
Ahh ok cool, yeah it does it automatically, I know with the flex you have to double tap it when you get into bed, it will still do it, but better results if you do that

I'm a bit lost so far. I expected some kind of instruction manual, but I've had to google everything. Managed to get it onto my wrist and synced to my phone though so I should be on the right track now.
It says I've taken 1449 steps so far, which is possibly right as it's going up by one every time I wave my arm around.
The calorie counter is way out of whack though, it says 2302 burned and I've done nothing (apart from waving my arm around).

Yeah I am disregarding everything for today on mine. start fresh tomorrow and see.
Mine had walking distance and calories from the second I turned it on.
It keeps track of how many times I've gone up and down stairs though.

Never again
I'm sure the fitbit can do a lot of things. But can it tell you what to do when you find a crime on the sea?

Apparently the Charge HR isn't actually waterproof. It's resistant but not advised to wear in shower or swimming. The flex is though.
Your body burns a certain amount of calories per day even with no activity - so that's why it already had some for the day. I think it's calculated based on height / weight.
Aaaand I've got the Charge HR too @up_all_night - in the morning you can correct the sleep time of it isn't correct.

I've only had mine for a few days. I've only hit 10k steps one day. Every other day around 5000
Lol! yeah.
What type did you get?
Here is the manual for the charge HR:

And here for the flex:

Also @up_all_night I suggest turning off the HR overnight to save battery. It doesn't seem to add to the sleep results anyway unfortunately.

Thanks @bleachy_dude
I got the flex, I'll have a read of that manual.

Get a Fitbit, babe. I found it to be the ultimate motivator. It will improve your movement 10 fold. You are currently doing half the recommended steps needed to maintain basic fitness.
I usually average 15 000, but since the arthroscopy last Thursday week, I dropped to 7000 - 7500, because I seem to have a mental breakdown if I go under 7000. I woke up Friday and could barely walk, which suggests I am over doing it post surgery, so I have taken off my Fitbit and I won't be putting it back on to track movement until I am 100% cleared to move freely.
I put it on to track my sleep last night. I expected an awful night given I have been laid up on the couch doing NOTHING since Friday.
I was surprised with the result.
Did you work out the toggle?
I swear to God, I had never heard that word in my life!!!!
I wear mine on my non dominate arm, it gives you the choice in settings.
I find the stepper quite accurate.

lol @Trala , I love that it comes with toggles and dongles.
I haven't worked out the sleep bit yet, it still says no sleep logged.
I put mine on my non dominant arm too, it felt less intrusive.
I agree with you about motivation - the step counting is the main reason I got one, I reckon it will push me if I have a number to aim for. I don't want it to become an obsession (but it probably will).
