" ... An ongoing problem was the short battery life--two days and it's indicating "medium" instead of "full" charge, and by the end of the third day it's showing "low." ... When it shows "low" forget it--might as well charge it right then, because "low" in reality means two or three more hours (if you're lucky) and it's dead. ... "

" ... Have tried a couple of different bands, and was being extra careful not to have it too loose. ... "
" ... The holes for the snaps are very small and it is hard to get the snaps in place. ... "
" ... I'm afraid I'm going to loose it. ... "
" ... Seems almost like it had been used or opened before shipping because the tape seemed removed/torn off, leaving only the shipping label closing the box). ... The large bracelet was in the small bracelet compartment & vise versa with the outter box a bit iffy. ... "
" ... Today it fell out. ... "

" ... I swear the ad said heart rate monitor. ... How can Fitbit have the nerve to charge twice the price of all other brands which do have heart monitors. ... "
" ... I believe its great for people that are focused on their lifestyle goals and tracking their sleep and heart rate. ... "
" ... The Flex 2 records everything the others did except heart rate, which I can count myself. ... "
" ... I don’t need it to tell me the time, my heart rate, or any of the things the fancier activity trackers do. ... "
" ... There's no heart rate feature but then again it can be worn loosely, which is nice. ... "
" ... Would definitely recommend as a starter fitness tracker. ... "

" ... I love that I can set an alarm on it to vibrate to wake me up, because sometimes I accidentally shut off the alarm on my phone instead of hitting snooze. ... "
" ... And I REALLY like that it can vibrate to wake me up, which is more pleasant than an alarm. ... "
" ... The alarm function is really discrete and I use it a lot. ... "
