Fitbit or other products; are they worth it?

Anyone use the fitbit? How do you like it and is it worth the cost? What about some of the other items out there like the NIke bracelet?

I like fitbit, although right now the sync to mfp is messed up.

I also have a motoactv that I really like, but only use it as an HRM. It can also function similarly to the fitbit, but I think the fitbit is much easier for everyday use.

If you have a smartphone, the fitbit one that just came out can update your burn through your phone - nice feature.

I have the fitbit and really like it. I have hinted I would like the new fitbit one for Christmas as it would really be nice to keep everything up to date through my phone.

For me it is a great motivation to move more. I will check it regularly thoughout the day and see how I am doing, I make my walks last longer to get in more steps, I take the stairs more so that they add up as well.

Thanks. I'm really thinking of the fit it zip (I think it's the newer one). I can see that making me want to move and do more too

I have the Body Media fit and I like it. It has been very helpful to me. However, you do have to pay a subscription fee every month, which is starting to annoy me so I just purchased the Fitbit Zip today. I'm going to use both just to get a comparison. If I decide that I like the Zip, then I will cancel my Body Media subscription.
