Nike+ vs. FitBit

ESapone

Hi all, I am on the look out for a new HRM. I was just wondering which one you use and why? My boyfriend is leaning toward the Nike+ because of the "bracelet" design. I on the other hand am on Team fitbit! I really need to make an educated decision before I spend over $100. I would appreciate all of your opinions Thanks a bundle!

Do you mean the Nike Fuel? I put a pat up and got a few replies. If you see the two recent Fitbit posts, you'll see LOADS of positive comments about that!

I have both a Polar F11 (replaced now by the FT40) and the Nike+ sportband with the HR monitor. It all depends on your activity. If I'm running and want to track my distance, I'll use the Nike+ since it combines both. However, if you're looking for a more comprehensive one, go for something like a Polar. As far as the Fitbit goes, I can't find on the website where it actually tracks heart rate but it does seems like a neat little gadget.

No, it does not track heart rate.

I am in the same boat, my husband wants me to go with the Nike fuel band, but I think I want the fitbit so I can track my sleep as well.
Try searching Nike fuel band or fitbit on here. There have been a ton of posts about them.

I just got the Fitbit and my husband has the Nike Fuel band. I like the Fitbit because I wouldn't want to wear that Nike bracelet thingie.

May be wrong but I think the fuelband monitors sleep. I think both fitbit and fuelband really are best at monitoring general activity. For exercise then. HRM is best. Lots of people seem to have both.

Not sure what Nike product the OP was talking about as they have a number if systems.
