fitbit one, zip, flex, force, or something else?

Just curious, what does everyone prefer?  Right now I use a zip but have been thinking that maybe I need to move up to something else.  I would like something that I could wear in the pool, flex or force?  I don't know too much about them.  I like to run back and forth in the pool, and with the zip I can't do that.  I'm losing a lot of step count.  Help please.

I think the Flex is the only one you can wear in the pool.  It would count steps but not recognize the resistance you're under from the water, so it'd count calories like slow walking on land, I'd guess.  

I like the One and the torso clip ones.  I find the bracelets ugly.

I agree with Mary: what you are "losing" in the pool by not using your Fitbit are mostly calories. You're probably taking more steps in five minutes walking around in your house than in one hour in the pool, so the step "loss" is minimal. The main advantage of the Flex is that it would automatically register you as being active during the time you spend in the pool, whereas other trackers would be left in the changing-room and would deem you sedentary, unless you'd manually log your activity.

The flex is not water proof, only splash proof. don't wear it in the pool.  I would log it as an activity instead
