What is the difference between the Fitbit Ultra Wireless Activity/Sleep Tracker and the Fitbit Wireless Personal Trainer and the Fitbit One Wireless?

The fitbit one is water resistant whereas the fitbit ultra, apparently, is not. Additionally the fitbit one syncs automatically with some phones whereas the fitbit ultra only syncs when you are close to a base station thing you have to plug into our computer. Finally, the fitbit one has a silent alarm (it vibrates to wake you up), it's a little bit smaller than the ultra, and you can't clip it directly to your clothes like you can with the ultra so you have to use the holster that it comes with. It seems like a lot of people have had trouble with the one falling out of the holster, though, so be really careful to wear it somewhere you won't lose it.

I've had both. Essentially they both operate in the same way, but the One is smaller and syncs better for me. And I like the silent alarm. The holder is a bit clumsy, but it doesn't fall off as easily as the ultra did (I lost my first one, it managed to edge its way of my belt loop at some point of the day). I like that I can now sync to my droid phone or ipad too (wirelessly). Love my fitbit, can't live without it, it keeps me on track.

Garmin takes on Nike , 1/Vivofit first advantage is the battery life. where most other fitness trackers pack the typical rechargeable lithium battery, the Vivofit uses two standard watch batteries. This gives the device a battery life of up to a year, A fitness band that lasts for a year on a single charge !!! 2/ It's pretty comfortable, an essential requirement . 3/ The device offers a large display , Sport Always-on display !!! 4/ Garmin's Connect app is the only one that tracks heart rate !!! they've included a chest strap that monitors your heart rate. 5/ The fact the Vivofit is 50m water resistant is also big advantage while others haven't any swimming features. 6/ The wristband in which it clips into. wristband is interchangeable- you'll get two different sizes small and large in the box, and Garmin is also offering a range of colours for you to choose from. It might not be the most stylish fitness tracker on the market and lack of back lighting .but has unique advantages that bats Nike or others.

Sorry, I don't know..but we really like using it as it aligns with both the Fitbit and My Fitness Pal Apps.

Nope, this is what I got from FitBit rep: "You only need 2 different fitbit.com accounts (created for free using unique Email addresses). Everything else can be the same (1 computer with 1 account for the computer, 1 base station, etc)." http://www.fitbit.com/forums/topic/GN77LDH3P34WYThe base station and FitBit software has to be installed on your laptop. That part sucks, I have hooked our base station to HTPC, that way we don't have to plug & replug it all the time.

As far as we know, it just goes thru the regular router, (we have wifi in the house), and it syncs itself to the fitbit thru the computer and thru my android phone. It just syncs the same way as your fitbit does, as well as to "myfitnesspal" on all devices. It also measures your BMI, and gives that to you right after it gives you your weight ( you have to barefoot on it to do this). It recognizes who is on it, as myself, my wife, and my daughter all have our own fitbits.

Ultimate is older technology with less features. It also has a strange charger, or at least in my opinion.The one, tracks sleep as well. Much easier to work with.

I don't know there to be a difference however if you are planning on using the mobile app for it beware. I purchased mine only to find out the app for iPhones is unavailable for an unspecified time. It's quite a hassle to track every meal on the computer for me rather than on phone on the go. Also see no need for the blue tooth aspect if can't use on the go. I have to plug mine into computer several times to see where I'm at. A lot of effort without the app. Also suppose to link with other apps like my fitness pal however that is down too for unspecified time. Disappointed to say the least.

In what way, R. Kyle? I don't see any more features on the BB than on the GoWear fit. In fact, the GoWear fit monitors sleep, and I don't think the BB does that. I just don't see the benefit of spending more money on what is actually the same product made by the same company, only less expensive.

Fitbit measures your rate of steps as "lightly active, fairly active and very active." It counts the amount of steps in a period of time and rates those minutes accordingly. So it definitely knows the difference between strolling and running.

I cannot answer the question because the band (along with my Fitbit) fell off my wrist the first day I had it in this replacement band. I lost both the band and the Fitbit. I would not recommend buying these replacement bands. When you buy your fitbit, you will get both size bands (at least that's what came with mine) and then you can determine which size band works best for you. I used the small band.

It does not track or calculate metabolism. It does how evever track. Steps take, calories burned, distance walked. I use it in conjunction with an app caller argus this gives me the best results over the stands life track fit. I do however recommend you spend the extra $20.00 or $30.00 fort the 410 model which tracks your sleep and does a better job at tracking movement.

I am not 100% sure because I had vivofit less than 24 hours. I was going to use it for cross training workout but had a bit hard time to create event. Unlike other tracker that is a lot easier. sorry could not help you much here.

It measures just the same as a tracker on your waist- however you must wear in a shoe if you want it to differentiate between walking and biking and elliptical when using in conjunction with the site or spark people app. I also will tell you this tracker is NOT worth the money. Easy to lose, not accurate, and while cheaper spend the extra $30 and go with a better tracker. If you at using the SP site, you can link ANY tracker to their site that can link to a phone.

It pairs with your WiFi network, and send information to the fitbit cloud servers. The fitbit app/cloud consolidates information from each of your device, e.g. I have the fitbit flex and aria, and I see both results in the fitbit app.

Being a former fitbit owner, I love, love, love this over the fitbit. It has sensors on the back and will track movement better (not sure about cycling) but I walked/ran a 5k a few weeks ago and it broke down the minutes I walked versus ran and gave stats on the sync. It is very accurate on the heart rate as I just had an cardio stress test and compared this at the doctor's office and it was right on (within 1 digit). I highly recommend this device and the features online to create "habits" to keep you motivated are fun too. I only wish it had an alarm to buzz you to remind you to do your habit....but overall for the $ it beats the fitbit hands down. Being a former fitbit owner, I love, love, love this over the fitbit.

The Fitbit has an app and it is so simple. If you have a somewhat recent smart phone or a computer it will sync all your info. You will love it!
