I have a Fitbit Charge HR. Had the Force before it exploded while diving. Forgot that little bit of non-waterproof news.
Fitbit seems to top most of the ratings. Having said that, it can't do altitude very well. I mean, it can count the flights of stairs you climb really well but if you drive up the same stairs (cuz that sounds like fun) then it still counts towards your total. You'd think they'd check altitude with steps to make that calculation... but whatever.
When my first Force popped off my arm, a week after buying it, they admitted to the design flaw and sent me a new one free of charge. They get a vote from me for being cool like that.

Agreed. I had one for a few days. Twice it registered me taking steps while I was asleep and it was laying on my nightstand. There were also problems with synching.
I sent it back.

I know it's more expensive compared to fitbit and it doesn't actually track your steps (why would you want to do that anyways?), but it does everything you want from a sports watch.

Step tracking is what I use the most--after heart beat, anyway. I do a bunch of walking/running. It's a good measure of overall activity. It's what I use to compete with friends.
And a better read for why steps are a decent stat to track, here's FitBits take. My daily average is 14k for this week... cuz I know you're interested :P

I was wanting it to track steps, and distance walked/run and track heart rate etc for Basketball/Ice&Roller hockey.
But I liked the fact I can compete with friends for steps for the day. I can see my self at midnight walking around the block to make sure I hit 10k for the day.
