[QUOTE="Trixy83, post: 900250, member: 162941"] Hi! I have the fitbit hr and absolutely love it! I have an overactive thyroid so my resting heart rate can be very fast at times and this has been fab for tracking it and seeing if my medication is working before having to wait for my 3 month review. Two weeks ago I noticed that it had started creeping up from around 80bbm resting to around 120. Phoned the docs, got some blood tests done, they confirmed levels were increasing and upped my dose! I also use is as a way to motivate me to increase my exercise. It has the default step count set to 10,000 per day and I refuse to go to bed until I get that! You can set the timer on it for when your exercising and it will calculate your calorie burn, average heart rate etc, again fab when you want to monitor your heart rate. It also monitors your sleep, telling you how long you slept, how many times awake or restless. I wear mine pretty much 24 hour a day unless charging, during which time I refuse to move as I don't want to miss the steps haha (about 45 mins-an hour once every 4-5 days for me). It all syncs to a very user friendly app on my phone and tablet so I can see everything at a glance. You can also add friends and do challenges which are also fab for motivation! I'm pretty much addicted to mine, defo the best purchase I've made in a while! [/QUOTE]
