Hey everyone! I actually have a really cool activity tracker on the way in about a month - it's from the same people that made the Find Tracking Tag. It's a bit less sexy, but the control software looks really excellent and Sensegiz is a local startup right next to us in San Francisco, so we can actually sit down and talk with them.

I will try and get the Fitbit and the Jawbone, but I don't have very high hopes on either of those. Will post updates here.
I've had a Jawbone Up for 6 months, recently I decided to buy a pair of activity trackers for my parents and I did some research. Initially I wanted Fitbit because I had Jawbone, but later I found the sleep tracking is bit lacking for Fitbit which is important for my mum, I also don't really like the Fitbit app. In the end I bought two Up24s from eBay.
I'm pushing for the Jawbone Up24 that I posted. It very often gets the highest ratings, out of activity trackers. The only thing it doesn't have that the Fitbit does is a screen, but it has many more features the Fitbit doesn't.
