The Fitbit Flex, Zip and One wireless activity trackers, as well as the Aria WiFi scale, were on display at the 2013 CES, so we dropped by the booth to find out more about them. All four products support the Samsung Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note II Android smartphones, as well as the iPhone 4S and iPhone 5. Fitbit also says more Android 2.0+ devices will be supported soon. Read on for a description of the newly announced Bluetooth 4.0 enabled Flex activity tracking wristband / bracelet. [Direct YouTube Link]
Fitbit Flex Details:
Flex is your perfect companion. Wear it on your wrist day and night and it will track all of your activity. Just check out the lights to see how you stack up against your personal goals. It’s the motivation you need to get out and be more active. Flex tracks: steps taken, distance traveled, calories burned, active minutes, hours slept and quality of sleep. It’s also water resistant and has a silent wake alarm. Flex uses LED lights to show you how your day is stacking up against your goal. Sync your stats real-time directly on select iPhone and Android devices and computers. See your stats anytime. Also with some Android devices, you can tap your device to launch your Fitbit stats. Using online tools, you can set goals, track your activity, sleep trends, log food, workouts, and more. And like with all Fitbit trackers, you can earn badges, connect with friends to share and compete for extra encouragement. Black and Slate colors are available via pre-order now. Teal, Tangerine, and Navy bands will be available this Spring. Price: $99.95 this Spring.
