Anyone ever use a fitbit?

I really want to get an accurate read on my daily calorie burn. The machines at the gym are not remotely accurate and I need to get a better read on my sleep patterns too.
Anyone have one or use it?

I'd never heard of it until you posted it here, but it looks very cool.

I use the my fitness pal app. Works great

In my experience with these types of products, the more it does the less accurate it usually is...it seems like a glorified pedometer and you won't be able to trust the calorie burn any more than a piece of gym equipment because it doesn't have an EKG strap to accurately measure your heart rate...I am a big believer in the polar heart rate monitors and some of their new stuff is insane?

which polar product would you recommend? I am looking for some type of accurate calorie burn log

interesting...I'll have to look into this...I realize it is not 100% accurate but if it is within the normal range of error such as +/- 3%...It might be worth taking a stab at.
