certainly get one with a Heart Rare monitor inbuilt..
with the Fitbits it works out how many calories you burn through exercise based on your height and weight..
clever bit of kit |

"K has a mi fit which she loves. The official app is rubbish though
Is there any unofficial apps for it? Or can you link to any app? Been thinking of getting one... Is it accurate? "
Seems accurate. She has paid £2.40 for unofficial app which works fine. Had pairing problem with the official app |

Does it help bulk up? I need to eat a lot to hold onto weight. |

It doesnt give you a fitness program or dietry advice.. it really is just a fitness tracker..
counts steps, measures sleep, does your heart rate, works out calorie burn and for how long youve been in each exercise zone...
gives you a little buzz on the wrist when you reach your own step targets..

"I have a HRM somewhere, used in those days when the gym seemed like fun!
Has a sensor strapped around the chest. A modern fitbit type device still needs one I guess?? "
The most accurate devices do use a chest strap e.g. Polar
But most wrist based devices use an optical sensor 
Interesting article here, though:

"Any recommendations and why.
It will be fully appreciated  "
Depend on the type of sports.. I've got the Tomtom sports watch. It's got heart rate & GPS built in and is water proof so suitable for swimming too. Seem robust as well as it survived Tough Mudder fine at the weekend.
What it's not as good for is sleep tracking and needs charging regularly if you're using the GPS features.

Depends on what you want it to do, which I know sounds daft. If you want it to get you moving, motivated & generally have fun with then I have the Fitbit Charge HR2.
It syncs with MyFitnessPal & if you add friends you can set mini challenges for motivation, which is great if you're competitive like me.
If you want 100% accurate heart readings, steps that kind of thing it might not be for you. |

Blaze all the way. You can get loads of different straps on amazon so you can have a metal/rose gold etc strap for smart and then use the rubber strap that comes with it for exercise. I love it.... very useful.. ive masturbated 4 miles today  |
