Location: the end of the rainbow | Thinking about trying to buy myself some motivation. Would like one that is also a sleep tracker. What do you have & what are your likes & dislikes? |

Location: Spokompton, Wa | I have a fitbit Blaze. I wore it all last year during my prep for a fitness competition last spring and it helped keep me accountable and make sure I stayed in my calorie deficit. I finally took it off last fall because I was getting obsessed if I didn't take enough steps or burn enough calories. lol But I really do like the Blaze. And you can switch the bands out if you want something a little nicer to go out, ect...

Location: Nebraska | I had a fitbit that measured my heart rate, not sure which one it was. It measured my sleep, too. I went through 4 of them in a year because they would just fall apart. I'm hard on things because I'm always outside or doing stuff with my hands. It didn't measure my steps whenever I was pushing something with my left hand, which was a lot. I'm a nurse so I push my computer that I scan meds and stuff with my left hand. I would leave work and it would say I only took 2000 steps all night in 12 hours, yeah right lol. I know a lot of nurses love the apple watches, but they're so darn expensive! |

I also have the Blaze and really like it.
I bought a nice leather band for it to wear to work, and also because the rubber band that it came with irritated my wrist.
For work, I like that I can have my phone in my desk drawer on silent, but still see my incoming calls and texts. That's as much "tech" as I really need, I think I would waste the functions on an Apple Watch.
It tracks my heart rate which I like...mine gets up more than I ever would have thought when riding horses LOL.
It also tracks my sleep, but typically I remove it at night - I'm a good sleeper so that function isn't why I purchased it. But it is a neat function, and I'm sure very useful for some people!

Location: Hiding from Reality | If you have an iPhone I would spend the money on an Apple Watch. I had the Blaze when it first came out. I hated getting message alerts on my watch but not being able to respond back to anything. It was useless to me. Bought an Apple watch and I absolutely love it. Looking into getting one with Cellular eventually but not yet since I haven't had this one but a year and a half. |
