Read the Instructions / WORKS GREAT!

PROS:
1. Roughly Accurate when you enter your personal running and walking stride distance; in the settings dashboard under your profile. I saw a lot of people complaining about inaccuracy but I don't know if they even dove that far into the dashboard of the software, this isn't guesswork people.
2. No issues when using it to monitor my sleep pattern when using the software correctly; make sure you have the latest Bluetooth 4.0 installed on your android/apple device before downloading the Fitbit application.
3. Asks for Blood Pressure, Glucose and Blood Pressure readings to gather information for those who are really serious about their health.
4. I barely know its there when I sleep, throughout the day. Having two separate bands for small and large wrists are a plus. I am 6' 3" at 227lbs and the large fits me just fine.
5. Charging was extremely fast and the device syncs with ease on my iPhone 4S with the 6.2 update; Bluetooth only transfers when I open the app, not when it's running in the background. So this saves on my phone and tracker battery.
6. Water Resistant; I've run with it, grabbed a shower and swam with it in the last 48hrs and I have had absolutely no issues.
7. Vibration in the tracker is a major plus for me and allows me to wake up just fine. I despise the audible way we have been accustomed to using. Your sleep pattern is very important to a productive day and lifestyle. This was a major reason I chose this device.
CONS:
1. There should be a barcode scanner built into the application for ease of adding in foods that are not in their system. Logging in a new food can be a little time consuming.
2. The locking system for the band my not be suitable for contact sports or recreations that you may come in contact with another or the ground. Maybe a band with a locking clasp would be beneficial down the road. I thought I might lose it during laps in the pool or running and I didn't, but still worried I may. So far so good.
3. No Altimeter like previous devices for tracking of elevation, this would be a great feature in such a small form factor, maybe it will be there in the 2nd generation. Fitbit does offer this feature with other devices they manufacture.
Final Thoughts:
If you want an extremely accurate device for calories and distance, go out there and spend the money on a GPS device like; GARMIN, POLAR or MAGELLAN. I own a GARMIN and POLAR product that do exactly that in two separate areas. I've never read anywhere where Fitbit claimed to do just that.
This device is made to keep you moving and push you to follow individuals goals you've set to maintain a healthy lifestyle or put you back on the right track to consuming the foods that are good for you. This is not bulky like the Jawbone up and connects wirelessly. The Fitbit doesn't have a numerical display like the Nike Fuelband, but read the reviews on that and it's a major disappointment to a lot of Nike fans, plus those new to the idea.
I would recommend this product for those looking for a comfortable band that can sync wirelessly with your phone or computer and are looking to watch your running, walking, sleeping and consumption with food/water.
Good Luck and Stay Healthy!
What's great about it: Size
What's not so great: No Altimeter
I would recommend this to a friend!
