Fitbit did a lot of things very right when it made the One, its tiny activity-tracking pod. But then the company—caving to peer pressure from the likes of Nike—made the Fitbit Flex wristband. There's nothing wrong with that form-factor, but the Flex lost a lot of the functionality that made the One so great, and it felt like a big step backwards. Today the company is releasing the Fitbit Force, and it's exactly what the Flex should have been.
Like the Flex, the Force is a silicone wristband. The band is just slightly wider, and it's a little bit thicker. It still fits comfortably under the cuff on a long-sleeved shirt, though, and doesn't make it look like you have a horrible arm-fracture. The first difference you'll notice from the Flex is that the Force has a rather lovely and blue OLED screen.
