Verdict

The Fitbit Flex 2 is an ultra-slim, minimalist fitness tracker featuring a removable 3-axis accelerometer module that is 30% smaller than its predecessor and water-resistant up to 50 meters. It automatically tracks daily steps, distance, calories burned, and sleep, and it is Fitbit's first device to offer automatic swim tracking for laps and duration. Main pros include its versatile design that can be worn in interchangeable bands, bangles, or pendants, and its discreet LED notification system for calls and texts. However, notable cons include the lack of a digital screen or clock, the absence of a heart rate monitor and altimeter, and a relatively short battery life of up to 5 days considering its limited display.
