I've noticed so many more ppl wearing Fitbits than Jawbones recently. Is the difference really that significant?

  I never liked the bendy square "no clasp required" form factor, just looking at it made me question whether it would cause problems while typing. But they lost before I ever had a chance to put one on to try it. Despite Jawbone having better apps and better firmware features in the UP24, I saw how bad the reliability story is and had no real choice but to get a Fitbit Flex instead (wanted the Force but it was recalled before I even started researching). My flex just isn't noticeable to me while wearing it, even while typing, and the battery still holds for over a week per-charge a year later. Their attitude toward Apple HealthKit made me start looking at other offerings and particularly the Jawbone UP3, but they can't even get it shipped and who knows whether things will be different this time with reliabilty. And it's STILL a bendy square...
