How does this compare to the NIKE+ Fuel band
- Asked by Sandra S from Saskatoon
- Dec 9, 2012

Best AnswerI returned my Nike+ Fuel Band to get one of these. Reasons: Didn't like the feel of the Fuel Band on my wrist (but then I should have known that, because I don't like to wear a watch either). The software seems much more capable and useful. I don't have to CHARGE it, because bluetooth 4 is easy on the non-rechargable battery. I disliked the proprietary Nike fuel points. What's wrong with good old calories? I can wear it without advertising the fact to others.
The only plus I can think of for the fuel band, is maybe some people would find the LED progress indicator motivating. Not for me.
