Alright folks. Looking for a watch, heart rate monitor, and calories burned monitor. Just trying to get an idea of what I'm burning a day really and keep the time haha. I looked at the Nike Fuel band and really liked it but they don't ship to me so I don't really know what I want or what to get.... any thoughts?

    Nike doesn't ship to West Virginia?

    I've been holding off on the Nike and Jawbone monitors because the FitBit Flex looks incredible. I would've preordered one but I didn't have money at the time the preorders were still an option! So I have to wait until they finally launch :(

    If you are looking for complete day calorie monitors, you are not looking for a HRM. HRMs are only for aerobic exercise activity, not full day wear as the calculations they use will way over estimate calories for times of normal activity. You need something that is designed for all day calorie estimation like the Bodymedia Fit, BodyBugg, Fitbit, Fuelband or the like.

    Wooo boy. I thought it might be neat to get something that can give me more accurate and detailed information, but no way can I afford 100$+ on a gadget. Bummer.
