Fitbit Flex 2, Black (US Version)

Product Information

Rob has written about gadgets for a while now, so his party trick is the ability to name every phone being used in any given train carriage.

Each device was never more than two to three hundred steps apart, which is an acceptable level of deviation. To reduce the risk of fire, never leave vintage electrical or electronic products plugged in unattended. The main benefit of this style is that you can replace the band, and get versions that look a lot jazzier than the black rubbery one Fitbit sent us.I’ve been wanting to try and wake up earlier but Alex hates being woken up to the sound of an alarm. We take intellectual property concerns very seriously, but many of these problems can be resolved directly by the parties involved. I’m always in the pool, but I’m still after a fitness tracker that works just as well when I’m out of the water, even if I don’t fare so well on land. Having a silent alarm (where the Fitbit vibrates on my wrist to wake me instead of my phone making a noise) means that I can wake up earlier on days where Alex wants a lie in, or I can help Alex wake up less rudely on days where he needs to be up earlier.

Wireless Syncing: Fitbit Flex can wirelessly sync data to your smartphone or computer, making it convenient to monitor your fitness progress and set goals. This has been a bit of a sore point for some Flex owners in the past, as it can be hard to seal, making you push with all your might against your wrist: not comfy.Like the original, the Flex 2 uses five small LEDs that act as indicators to show how close you are to achieving your desired goal (such as walking 10,000 steps, the default setting).
