    I have the Charge HR but thats now out of date and they've upgraded it to Charge 2. I think its best to get the one with the Heart Rate monitor. I am going to upgrade to the Charge 2 for Christmas hopefully.

    This one?

    Any suggestions one which one to buy? I have no idea, looking at a £120 budget.

    Same here - my son wants one for Christmas and I don't know much about them!

    Just joined this group and of course I'm last in everything :(
    Hopefully this will spur me on a bit though.

    Sorry people, don't have a fitbit but my Garmin Fenix 3 counts my steps...

    Last 4 weeks...

    Last 12 months...

    I was running over 100 miles a month up until April but have been injured pretty much since then sadly.
    Don't think I've done too bad considering.

    That'll be a 'Fatbit', easy mistake

    Just ordered one to collect tomorrow, having had a read about it I'll probably end up keeping myself they look like fun. If I do can I join the club?

    How accurate is the HRM on these? I'm a runner and need to get one.

    If it's zero, I say you're dead.

    It's not. Fine for walking, measuring sleep, resting heart rate etc, but useless for strenuous exercise (running, cycling etc)

    I got the Charge 2 on @Curb_It recommendation. Had no problem, does what it says on the tin. Never had one before so couldn't comment on those.

    What do you want it for? Lots of different models serving different purposes

    Stats for 2016: 362/366 days of at least 12000 steps in a day, approximately 2900 miles average 7 1/2 miles a day. (15,000 steps a day).

    I'm doing sweet FA for the rest of the year.

    I crept up to very respectable 4th in the table for December despite starting a little later in the month. I'm quite surprised how far I walk while training our and other people's dogs. Today over 14k steps while in a paddock about 1 acre in size. If only I ate and drank sensibly. ;)

    That's it in a nutshell. For all I walk, the only time I lose weight is when I use Myfitnesspal app and scan my food.

    Where is the table? I have signed up to some challenges at @kimbo's invites ( usually ending in the relegation zone) but this sounds like a separate CL group?

    Well chuffed at managing half a million steps in December. I wouldn't have managed that if I wasn't privately battling against Leroy (I don't know if he even knew it) who put in a tremendous amount of work over Christmas. Thanks Leroy.

    January is hotting up already. TCE looks like he'll be a very strong challenger.
