    If you have any sort of fitness tracker connected to Fitbit / Garmin / my fitness pal or the health app on an iphone you could be earning high street vouchers for doing nothing more other than syncing your fitbit or whatever account with Bounts.

    You get points for total steps a day, check ins at gyms / exercise venues / parks and for specific exercises.

    The app is called Bounts. I’m earning points when I exercise and getting great rewards from the high street and brands. Well I save it up to help with the xmas shop.

    Its free to join. Go to http://bounts.it

    I have a Charge HR, which I love. I previously relied on a mixture of MyFitnessPal, the native step counter in iOS and RunKeeper, which is useful to a point. However, I think the Charge HR is better.

    I find that the HRM helps calculate a more accurate burn, the sleep tracker is useful in helping me better understand my poor sleeping patterns, and the constantly changing calorie allowance (mine is set at my burn plus a deficit, so it moves each day depending on, well, how much I move) works for me.

    I wish it was a bit thinner/prettier - I know with the Flex you can jazz them up with bracelet covers etc - but it could look worse.

    The native food app is rubbish, but apparently you can link your Fitbit to MFP, which has a great catalogue. I personally gave up and just use the native app now, but if you could use MFP instead, it would be much more accurate and/or you wouldn't have to keep adding new foods all the time.

    I like the incoming call notifications - it's a shame that the Charge HR doesn't do similar for SMS.

    The silent alarms are also effective. I still don't trust them so I set a silent alarm followed up by a traditional noisy alarm on my phone, but I've never needed to rely on my phone. The little jolt to my wrist does wake me up.

    I'd recommend the Charge HR.

    I have the Charge HR too and love the features you mention. I also love the challenges you can compete in too.
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!
