Nike Fuel Wristband--Anyone have any feedback?

Hi

I have the band and have been using it for a few months. I am not sure about the accuracy of the calories/fuel, but it does give me a gauge on my activity for the day and and sense of my need for movement. I don't really need specifics that many runners or elite athletes would like. One of the most motivating features is the fuel gauge. I check this often and make sure I move to make my goal each day - so this feature is a real motivator for me. I also like the fact that I can sync with my computer and get an analysis of my data not only with calories burned, but most active times of day, most calories burned, goals achieved etc.

Is it worth it? I would say for me yes, but do the research on other brands such as Fitbit, jawbone and others. They may have additional features you like

PS my husband has a band too and now we can have a bit of a competition with our goals;)

This topic has come up a few times, so you may want to try searching and see what you get. I have one and find it very motivational. I think it really pushes me to move. I've had it for 6 months and it has worked flawlessly. (Now I've probably jinxed myself!) There is a community of MFP'ers linked together on the Nike site who share stats. Some of these people must be running marathons daily they get so much activity in, but it's fun to see when I get close!
