Fitness tracker bands

[Rice]

Does anyone have one of these bands - Nike Fuel band, FitBit, JawboneUp?

I'm thinking of getting one, but have no idea which is better.

I know the Nike one is way over priced for what it is, so probably wouldn't get that one.

Any tips?

I purchased my wife the Nike Fuel Band for her birthday in December. She loves it. The Nike one may seem overpriced, but it is very durable and interfaces with your computer and iphone seamlessly. I cannot speak for the others.

I think it depends on why you are getting one. If you want some motivation to see where your movement is throughout the day, any might work. If you are hoping to count calories burned, you are not going to get an accurate reading from any arm band. The Fuel motivates like a game. You get points for movement, you can compete with friends, you can see where you stand with the average person of your age and gender. Once you start beating your fuel goal, you up it and try to maintain or beat it. It is pretty good for motivation if you are motivated by a goal that you can track throughout the day. If my wife is close at the end of the day she will do a quick workout before bed, just to reach it.

I would read the reviews on each, Good luck!
