i got nike sportband. also have fuelband but fu...no really needed.
when it come to running, sportband is way better. plus it was only like 49 or 59 bucks. you do need to have the senor on the shoe either nikeplus shoes or other brand with a pouch.if you want to spend a bit more and don't do running inside a gym, like on a treadmill. then i would recommend nike sportwatch w/GPS.
- and if you want heart rate, i think FIT bit is the one to go with.akrok

does Nike FuelBand or anything else have a programmable timer for interval training and tracking heartrate? I've been looking for something more than just a pedometer (hehe, pedo-meter) you wear on your wrist.

I almost got one too. Samsung's band actually looks interesting, but I'll wait for more refinement. Apple's rumors sound pretty interesting too, though I am not going to pay $1000 for an iWatch.
Next gen devices should be pretty interesting. Give me heart rate, a little more data and I am sold. Maybe a little more logic on what activity you are doing (I dont' think they can tell if you are walking vs. on an elliptical, but dont really know)
- why would you do workouts wirth it. FIT BITS gives you heath rate etc.akrok

I almost purchased the fitbit one - but i didn't. I really liked all of its capabilities, but something came up and I didn't want to purchase it. I've heard a lot of good things about the fitbit products.

I'm thinking about getting one of these things, and read some reviews online, but still not sure a) if it's worth the cost and b) which one to get. After some initial research I'm leaning towards the Jawbone UP, but not 100% sold.
If you're using one of these (any band) it would be grand if you could share yout thoughts on the usefulness/insights it gives and what you like/don't like about it.
Thanks buddies!
