    I love mine & really feel it's worth the price. I set my goal at 3000 daily and it doesn't let me fool myself into thinking I'm more active than I really am. At the end of the day, if I'm at 1700 or 2300 or whatever, I get on my treadmill or out for a walk or run just to make sure I hit 3000 or more. I am competitive with myself and like my streak of reaching 3000+/day to go on and on.

    I don't know what to make of the calories it calculates. I assume the calories it calculates are based only on the activity formula that calculates the fuel (based on movement). So I don't rely on that or the steps calculator.

    One important thing for people who have expressed concern about wrist movement vs. body movement - I have put the band on my shoelaces when I've gone for a bike ride and the fuel points it tallies are the same as when I have worn it on my wrist for the same biking distance, so somehow it knows you're moving.

    If you need extra motivation to move at the end of the day and/or if you're at risk for giving yourself credit for being active when you really haven't been, then the FuelBand is a great reality check.

    Love mine! I have a 10,000 step/day goal plus a 3000 fuel point goal.... this keeps my goals at the front of my thoughts and I find myself doing little extra things just to push the numbers higher. I wish I could sync it somehow with MFP.... but all-in-all, I think it's a great investment.

    i absolutely love mine. I set it to 4000 Nike Fuel per day and try my hardest to reach my goal. On days i don't reach the goal i'm disappointed. In no way is the calories burned or steps accurate b/c it's only using your arm movement to calculate points. I used in a spin class and it said i earned hardly anything b/c of the lack of arm movement. I also love it b/c i can compete with my friends. I think that's my biggest motivator!!!! I would recommend.. however if you are more interested in accurate calories burned then get heart rate monitor with strap.
