Reviews say it isn't the most accurate. Check out Fitbit Ultra, Bodybugg, or Bodymedia FIT CORE instead.


I bought the Bodymedia Fit (Core wasn't released) along with the display device early last year and in hindsight was easily the best fitness related purchase I've ever made. Took the calorie guess work out and gave me the low down on how many calories I'm really burning during any given activity. The realization that my day-to-day calories can drastically change just made these online calculators even more inaccurate in the grand scheme of things.

I couldn't recommend the device more if you have the $$$.

Bodymedia and Bodybugg are the same devices with different branding, except Bodymedia measures sleep.

Cool I'll check it out. I have a Polar Fitness monitor that has served me well, but I think it's on it's last leg.

It is as accurate as a pedometer.
I mean, what if you are sitting and massaging your arm or something. The fuel band would think you are doing jumping jacks or burpees.

This. Sometimes when I'm playing basketball after lifting weights, I look down at the FuelPoints and being thisclose to a goal makes me work harder. I know in the end that it's "imaginary" but somehow it motivates me all the same.

Plus it makes for a pretty nice looking minimalist watch. Females ask about it. :shaq:

I got one as a gift. I have used Nike+ Running for my running app for years, and hopefully this will integrate with this. I'm bout to try it out now on a run actually.
