During my first purchase of a monitoring product, I flashed on the Fitbit Flex which I seemed to have all the qualities: bracelet, waterproof, discreet ... The number 2 was disqualified jawbone due to its lack of reliability and its price. The Pulse even compete when I already had lea balance and blood pressure .... Initially delighted by the Fitbit Flex, I discovered little by little his fault: skin irritation - the strap is too tight, management of zero calories - to enter a coffee takes 10 minutes and ends 1 time of 2 ounces on the iphone, create a can of Red Bull is the leader oeuvre- integration with Withings very limited products, we sleep management off and not obvious ... Two weeks later, I decided to test the Pulse telling me that eventually I may be underestimated this product .... (the Jawbone is still disqualified because its strap is too small for my wrist - even smaller than that of the Flex) test backwards, comments Amazon really is not favorable: bad display, wrong number of steps, bracelet and no tie etc ... No way .... If we lose the facility Flex usage: irritant bracelet and easy synchronization, one gains in integration with the other Withings products (an app for everything) and full integration with my fitness pal on the iphone ... We gain accuracy also ... with Fitbit if it was possible for me to be efficient, the pulse seems more honest to me .... A little test in an elevator ... I turn around time that it makes my two floors - I n 'have not taken the stairs with an urge - Fitbit not record my, the pulse ignores my stamping on site ... So I feel that when I bring 10,000 steps a day with the Pulse I would have done 10,000 steps and thus a special effort. The sleep function seems more efficient me ... Fitbit not recorded 700 overnight which seemed énorme..Le pulse ignores them but specifically studied my sleep. The chest strap works contrary to what is stated in the comments. The strap and the fastening Neoprene show no signs of fatigue after 15 days. Pulse and is small enough that it can be carried in a pocket forgetting completely ... So in the end, a product can be less convenient because not on the wrist and no automatic synchronization but measures that seem more accurate, more powerful software, greater autonomy and more obvious that the Flex interface through a completely readable screen.
