    I really like the Fuel band! It really depends what you want to use it for. I like it because it motivates me to reach a certain goal or fuel points. Looks good and is pretty durable. It does not do heart rate, but I also like that it syncs to my phone!.

    How do fuel points compare to exercise calories? That was the one thing that confused me about the fuel band. Although if it keeps you motivated that's really what it's all about!

    I have not calculated the comparison completely. I run with run keeper and I have a HRM that I used in the past and can tell my intensity levels. I use the fuel band at this time as a motivator to keep moving and just get out there. Yesterday my fuel points were low so I decided to walk to the store which is something I would not have done in the past if I had to get my watch and then get the HRM with the strap. So it boils down to how you want to use the equipment. I still have my HRM and another training watch I may use from time to time just to make sure I am still pushing as much as I need to.
