Though Fitbit One is a popular product, as we introduce new products, we occasionally make changes to our product line to keep you on track with the most up-to-date health and fitness tracking tools.
As a result, we no longer sell the One. We recommend considering the other discreet options we offer- Fitbit Zip, if you prefer a clip-based tracker or Fitbit Flex 2 if you prefer a slim, wrist-based tracker. Or, take our quiz on http://www.fitbit.com/compare to see which device meets your needs best.
We apologize for any inconvenience and hope we can continue to provide you with Fitbit trackers you love and help you reach your goals.

I do every so often, but you've reminded me to do so again--with a link to these forums!

Vivofit 3 vs Fitbit OnePicture is after 5.64 mile run, .36 mile cool down. After 6 miles, 19 steps difference.
As always, good luck to all of us that love our One!

@SPL-BR I have found the Garmin to be quite accurate for runs (in steps, calorie count and active minutes), but mixed results for other exercises (walking, elliptical, zumba) and counting the general steps in the day, especially with calorie burn estimates. Have you compared any other types of workouts? What are the totals at the end of the day? Not just steps, but calorie estimate and active minute count? I like to look at all of it! 😉

I was disappointed to hear the one was discontinued. Like many users, I started with the zip and upgraded to the one. My one has been having intermittent issues and I think when it dies I will just quit fitbit. Why? I already tried and didn't like the zip and upgraded to a better model and I would rather wear a pretty watch or bracelet that I own over a rubber bracelet or watch. At at first I couldn't imagine going without fitbit but it was having problems during a recent vacation, as seems to be the case lately and I went without it. The world didn't end. I'd happily buy another one. But since that's not an option I'm likely to just quit when my one quits again.

My One has been working well again, thank goodness, and a charges lasts about a week. I get notifications when the battery is getting low. But my clip is coming apart again, I've generally had to get a new clip once a year. Well, no longer sold on Amazon except at silly high prices (far from the original $14 price), and I called Fitbit to see if they could sell me one, but no, they don't have them any more. I felt so irritated and told them so, that they sell a product that they don't even support any more two years down the road from my purchase. My parting comment was "And you expect me to buy another Fitbit product? Their comments about changing and expanding their product line doesn't interest me. I sure wish some other company would pick up the loss of the One and reate a similar sized product with the same functions. In any case, I got to seemingly similar clips on Amazon, two for $10, so hopefully they will be OK. Ratings were good for them. Meanwhile, I plan to keep an eye out for other products as I have less than zero interest in anything Fitbit makes now.

Which specific ones have you tried that are good? I saw a lot of different ones on amazon and just ordered a pair for $10, but don't know how good they are as they haven't arrived yet. What I ordered had over 200 positive reviews, so I'm hopeful.

I'm another FitBit customer who loves my One, wants to continue tracking my sleep, and is not interested in a wristband tracker. When my current device stops working, if the One hasn't been brought back or sleep tracking hasn't been added to the Zip, FitBit will lose my business.

Hi CMCM,

Works well and I can see it!

Not sure yet. Friends are encouraging me to get an Apple Watch, but I don't like wearing a wristwatch, and wearing it as a pocketwatch or pendant would make it harder to use for other purposes.

I'm already wearing a watch so that would be redundant. Also seeing the wrist band devices they have, with the flick of a wrist, illumination that draws attention. Also one device had a colored glow below the device at the wrist. It was a distraction to me.
Isn't Fitbit making life great for us?

Yes, yes, yes!! FitBit One was supreme. The Zip doesn't have any of the functionality and also doesn't work well. I had it before the One. And if you can't wear something on your wrist at all times or even most of the time, then you have no other options. I have been a loyal customer for 6+ years and I am very disappointed.

Please let us know if you find an alternative. I purchased the alta for way more than it's worth, and have already lost it due to the fact that I am also unable to wear things on my wrist for much of the day and for the majority of my exercise (ever sparred in martial arts with something on your wrist? Officially, we aren't allowed to wear jewelry of any kind, but the One was still great and allowed where the Alta is not). I was just putting it into my pocket, but then it got lost being moved between pockets and backs and different activities.
