The Fitbit Flex is a fairly innocuous looking wireless wristband. In the ever-growing fitness wearable market, can it compete against the flashier offerings currently available?
PROS
Accurate pedometer function; Solid smart device application
CONS
LED daily goal indicator inaccurate; Lack of true on-devce interface
VERDICT
As a fitness band, the Fitbit Flex is not ideal, this is partly because its activity capturing capacity is limited to steps taken alone, making it feel a lot a glorified pedometer. Its one saving grace however, is the smart device enabled Fitbit app, which gives users a host of information. This makes the Flex ideal for users looking to make healthier life choices and track their activity in a very simple way.
