Fitbit Flex 2 Swim Proof Activity Tracker

Worry free tracker. The Fitbit Flex 2 is the ideal choice for people who love water sports and don’t need to worry about removing it for the shower. It comes with a small band and large band to insert the Fitbit Flex 2 into so anyone can wear it. Each band has about 10 notches and is more of a flexible rubber band that isn’t elastic so it is very comfortable. You can even hide the Fitbit Flex 2 in a pendant or slip it into a clip to fully match your mood or fashion style at the time. It is so slim and sleek that I forgot I was wearing it. I really like how this just becomes a part of my life.

You can choose one of three ways to setup and communicate with the Fitbit based on your network. The first option to connect is to download the Fitbit app to your mobile device and synch up the Fitbit by registering online. The next is to download the app to your computer and communicate via Bluetooth. If you want to just connect via Wi-Fi then you need to purchase a Fitbit Dongle but it has to be a link without requiring a password.

I really love that the Fitbit app gives you all the feedback you need to be healthier. You can set goals based on your movement to help make easy choices to burn more calories. It has some nice features to motivate you with challenges. The Fitbit app will even tell you how much you slept each night and wake you with a strong vibration so you won’t need to hear that alarm clock. Your phone can even alert you thru the Fitbit with a vibration and LED lights so you know when you really need to pick it up. This feature works great when you are required to turn your phone off.

very versatile. FITBIT FLEX SWIM PROOF ACTIVITY TRACKER TRACKS CALORIES BURNED AND ACTIVE MINUTES. IT IS SWIM PROOF SO YOU CAN USE IT IN THE POOL, OCEAN OR SHOWER. TRACKS HOW WELL AND HOW LONG YOU SLEEP. YOU CAN ALSO SET AN ALARM WHICH WILL WAKE YOU UP BY VIBRATING. DIDN’T WORK FOR ME. MORE OF A DEEP SLEEPER I GUESS.

YOU CAN ALSO GET CALL AND TEXT NOTIFICATIONS ON YOUR WRIST. IT WILL VIBRATE A CODE PATTERN AND COLOR LED LIGHTS. BLUE FOR CALLS AND PURPLE FOR TEXTS. YOUR PHONE HAS TO BE NEARBY THOUGH. HAVEN’T CHECKED OUT HOW CLOSE YOUR PHONE HAS TO BE FOR THIS FEATURE TO WORK.

YOU ALSO RECEIVE REMINDERS TO MOVE BY A SMALL VIBRATION AND ORANGE LED LIGHT.

IT HAS A SMART TRACK THAT RECOGNIZES CERTAIN WORK OUTS AND RECORDS THEM TO YOUR FITBIT APP. THESE INCLUDE RUNS, SPORTS ACTIVITY AND AEROBICS.

THERE ARE DIFFERENT ACCESSORIES THAT YOU CAN WEAR THE FITBIT IN. YOU HAVE WRISTBANDS, BANGLES AND PENDANTS. MY FAVORITE IS EITHER THE BANGLE (BRACELET) OR PENDANT. I HAVE NOT BOUGHT EITHER ONE. MAYBE SANTA WILL! UNTIL THEN THE WRIST BAND WILL HAVE TO DO. I LIKE THE GOLD BRACELET THE BEST BUT IT IS EXPENSIVE. IT LOOKS VERY NICE AND COULD BE A DRESS UP, OR DRESS DOWN ITEM. THE STAINLESS STEEL ONE IS A BETTER, MORE PRACTICAL OPTION. THE PRICE IS VERY ACCEPTABLE AS WELL. HAVEN’T SEEN THE PENDANT COLORS IN PERSON BUT A NICE OPTION TO BE ABLE TO HAVE. ALSO AT A VERY REASONABLE PRICE. THE OPTIONS MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A DIFFERENT PIECE OF JEWELLERY EVERY TIME YOU WEAR IT.

Lightweight and Flexible. Fitbit flex 2

The fitbit flex 2 has a slim and lightweight design. The packaging is nice and organized, and comes with 2 size bands so 1 is sure to fit. It does not have all the bells and whistles but not everyone needs or wants them. This is a nice basic tracker. You set this up through the fitbit app, if you go to the website as in the setup instructions it tells you to download the app. Setting it up was very easy. It has many functions, counts your steps, tracks your exercise, reminds you to move, tracks your sleep, and allows you to track/log your food and beverages. It also vibrates when you have a call or new text message. It states that the battery will last 5 days and so far, it has lived up to that. Although it claims that it is swim proof I have not tested that however I have showered with mine on and it still works fine.
Here is the fun part, it is interchangeable. You can purchase additional accessories like color wristbands, pendants and fashionable bracelet. So, if you do not want people to see you are wearing a fitness tracker they don’t need to know.
Although I cannot order my lunch or check my Facebook with this tracker it does what I need it to do. The lightweight and slim design is perfect, I forget I am wearing it.

GREAT BASIC WATERPROOF activity tracker. Having previously owned a Fitbit Charge HR, I can’t help but write my review from a comparative stance. Let me start with the best part of the Flex 2, which happens to be how I ended up needed a new Fitbit in the first place… IT’S WATERPROOF! I accidentally jumped in a pool wearing my Charge HR, and despite noticing quickly and throwing it in rice, it didn’t make it. So I absolutely love not having to worry about that with my new Flex 2.
Second best feature: the tracker itself is tiny! I love that you can swap out wristbands, or get an ankle band, or even a necklace. The small and large adjustable (lavender) bands included are lightweight and comfortable and should fit wrists of MANY sizes – they also stay tightly secured on the wrist.

It functions well as a tracker overall, though I went for a run and it didn’t seem to pick that up automatically as it’s supposed to. The five lights on the tracker progressively fill in as you reach your step goal; the final light turns green and the tracker vibrates when you’ve reached it.

When your battery is very low, one light will turn red. This is one thing I’ve been a little frustrated with – I find the Flex 2 isn’t good at all about sending me “Your battery is low” emails like the Charge HR did, and I’ve already found my tracker dead a couple times without warning. It’s also not as obvious because the Flex 2 does not have an LCD screen to check the battery level like the Charge HR. I’m a bit disappointed that the silent alarm feature hasn’t been fleshed out any further either – still no options to set number of snoozes or length between snoozes.

Overall which Fitbit you should get comes down to your preferences. For me, giving up some of the higher-end features of the Charge HR were a perfectly good trade-off to get the slimmer, lighter, and waterproof Flex 2.

Fitbit. I love this fitbit. It came with a purple band that is flexible and has many holes for fitting. It came with a charger plug and plugs into an android phone plug. It charges quickly and stays charged for approximately 3 days. It tracks your steps and your sleep patterns. It is comfortable, so much so that I often forget I have it on. You can enter your exercise for the day and how many glasses of water you had to drink and it keeps track of everything. It also syncs with my android phone and when I get a text or call it vibrates to let me know. I highly recommend this. It is also waterproof which is fabulous because several times I forgot I had it on and got in the shower, no damage done. It has a lot of features for such a small thing. It has ways that you can add friends and compete as well to keep you motivated. I also downloaded the fitbit coach app which has exercise programs n there you can access.

I loved the fitbit 2 when I first got it and used it in tandem with the fitbit app on my smart phone. It was convenient and fun to watch my progress on the app. I did not want to use the rubber type band it came with, so I bought a cute silver bracelet for it and used it for a week until I realized that I had lost it and was so upset. My girlfriend happen to tell me she’s on her 3rd one! I I replaced it with a flex 3 which is perfect for me. Weeks later, I found the lost fitbit 2/bracelet underneath the seat of my car so I gave the fitbit 2 to my friend with the original rubber type band it came with and he seems to like it and uses it daily. If your gonna use this, make sure you use the original rubber type band or use a durable accessory.
