Hi!
So my momma and papa bear gave me a Nike Fuel Band for my 30th Birthday last Thursday! I am having fun with it but also realizing that its not super accurate. I have met my goal everyday, and one day was literally spent at a spa getting my hair and nails done for a few hours. I really just sat there and was pampered and kept racking up the fuel points...so I upped today to 3000 to see if thats a better fit for me. Also, the calories burned are way off...almost double what MFP says for things like walking etc.
Anywho...how does anyone else like it? Have people found it useful, fun, motivating, etc? Any good tips on how to use it??
Thanks!

    I looked at the Fuel band but didn't get it because it didn't fit into my workout scheme. I do some running but other exercises I do it wouldn't work or would be inaccurate. I'm glad you like it and I'm sure it's a good product. Hopefully in the future it will get more functionality then I may look at it again.

    Alrighty...I guess I'll add in hopes of people joining in! Yesterday I broke 5000 fuel points before the day was over, completed over 10,000 steps. Not the most accurate, but it was exciting to see and can see this being a great motivator for me to keep up the activeness!!! Anyone else with thoughts???

    I've been using the fuel band for about 2 weeks. I understood that it would be inaccurate but I wanted it anyway. I still use a heart rate monitor to get a ore accurate count of my calories burned but I do like the fuel ban. Hopefully there will be software upgrades that will allow it to connect to HRM's. But for now it's a fun bracelet.
