I had the Fitbit One for several years.  I liked it because it was a step 
counter that wasn't on your wrist, you could clip it to your belt or the 
inside of a pocket and was basically out of the way.

When it came time to track sleep you used a soft wrist band and placed the 
Fitbit One into that on your non-dominant wrist.  It had a small OLED screen 
and one button on it to show you your steps, stairs climbed, etc.  I liked 
the sleep tracking feature, though I'm not sure I got much out of it.

I really like the alarm clock feature of it, since you were wearing it on 
your wrist it could vibrate when it was time to wake you up and be less 
likely to disturb your partner.

 KW> I'll be sad when it dies, they haven't made them for a couple of
 KW> years.

That's what happened to mine, the battery no longer held a charge, and it 
wasn't user replaceable.  Now I have the Apple Watch, but it's much too bulky 
to wear to bed.
