Thoughts on the Nike+ Fuel band and the like...

[mayweather12]

Hi,

Just wondered what everyones take and thoughts were on the Nike+ Fuel Band and the many more available, e.g. the BitFit. On the pricey side of things, but in terms of being able to improve motivation, what you guys think? Anyone own one?

Nike's advert/exploring how they went about it which is quite Apple like:

Personally I can't see the point. I use myfitnesspal app on IPhone to track calories in meals & calories used running . I call it 100 calories per 10 mins run, which seems about right for me. It's free too!

Jeez a tool for morons that cant work out how active they are - its not hard. I know I am not usually active ebcause I dont exercise most days and I do very little walking.

That said, the fact that it can function as a watch is a plus point and you will also get historical data which I daresay will be better than your own memory about how active you are. That said, it does depend heavily on what it can actually record. It seems to measure movement and is a bit crude

£129 though? fk off
