Hey all, Im thinking about getting a fitness tracker and the one I'm landing on seems to be the charge hr or charge hr 2. I like that it has a watch and a heart rate monitor in addition to other stuff and I think it's cute enough to wear to work as an accessory (not a big clunky plasticky thing I'd want to hide). Still, they're expensive, and I'd like to hear some thoughts before I invest $79-130 in something. Do you have an activity/fitness tracker? A Fitbit or a different brand? How do like it? Does it seem worth the money? Thanks for the help. I tend to be pretty frugal, so spending money on something I can't try first makes me a little nervous.

Well, after 1 year, 1,002 miles, 2.4 million steps, and 17.8 pounds lost, my beloved Fitbit Charge HR has finally bitten the dust. *moment of silence* The Fitbit company has graciously offered either a free identical replacement or 30% off a new tracker; and since they have made some significant updates to the trackers since I bought mine, I am going to choose one of the new models. My problem is that I'm not sure which one I should choose - I'm looking at the Charge 2, the Alta, and the Flex 2. Does anyone have a second-generation Fitbit model, and what do you think of it? Would you recommend it? If it helps, I use my current Fitbit to count steps, miles, calories burned, and heart rate - and, of course, as a watch. :-) I think I'd miss some of these features if I didn't have them, but the most important features are the steps, miles, and calories burned. Thanks guys!!
