Jawbone Wristband

Anyone own a Jawbone Wristband? Is it something worth investing in? What are the good things/drawbacks with using one? Is there another device you like better?

I have had mine for a while now. It's a good tool for tracking my activity and knowing where I am during the day so I can plan my food accordingly. It has some neat features. I have mine vibrate if I have been sitting for longer than an hour so I know I should get up and walk for a few minutes. I also use it as my alarm when I wake up since my husband and I wake up at different times sometimes.

I don't use the food part of it. The sleep tracker is spot on and a great feature. It also has a cool power nap feature that will wake you up once you have been in a deep sleep for a certain amount of time. All in all, I enjoy it. The calorie counter seems to be consistent too. It's nice to know if I was extra active that day so I can have an extra snack or something without feeling bad about it. I haven't used a fitbit before. The main drawback for the fitbit was having to clip it on to something at night. It's easier to have it on my wrist and the Nike Fuel doesn't have the sleep feature.

Bump.

Also interested in Up v. FitBit v. Nike v. others. Jawbone Up seems like a good all around. And Nike doesn't sync with MFP....?
