OK... My next "tech toy" is going to be either the Fitbit Ultra or the Nike+ FuelBand, since it will fit into all the walking 'n stuff I do...

I'm strongly leaning toward the Fitbit; but, a friend of mine suggested I look into the FuelBand...

Assuming everything else weighs more or less equally to me, which would you suggest... and Why?

I'm just curious mostly... Truth be told, if I get no responses at all, I'm gonna go with the Fitbit... 'n if I get several responses, I will lean toward whichever one has more people that I actually know using the device (since they both have "social" aspects, it would be sorta kewl to have friends to 'challenge' and/or 'encourage', etc...)


So whatcha got to say? Do you have one? If so, do ya like it? Lemme know folks!
Much appreciated! :)

    Hhhmmmmm..... I guess no-one online these hours has a strong opinion one way or another...???

    I have a friend that was telling me that she and her sis 'n others have been using the Fitbit 'n they love it!

    So I'm about 99% sure that's what I'm going to go with... It seems like a better product with more options as it is... Plus it's nice that I have at least one friend that uses it *smiles*

    ive been trying to use my fitbit for months... I just cant get into it... car rides show me going up several flights of stairs, I get a bunch of false steps... plus for a guy, its awkward to wear - clipping it to the belt ... Ive lost two of them and while fitbit sent me replacements almost free, its a pain. I like the fuelband bracelet concept. I like the power of Nike behind it.

    Also one thing I dont like about fitbit, is that when linked to mfp, you have to block out the time you do cardio since fitbit doesnt track it right. Same for weight training burn ect... swimming...

    its not really giving me motivation - its just counting steps... everything else I have in mfp without it.

    I think the nike fuelband that makes it a game with different challenges is a nice concept.

    www.earndit.com allows this with fitbit.

    I want to love my fitbit like everyone else, but I just cant get into it.
