Does the Nike Fuelband measure steps or activity? Meaning, does it measure if you do other types of activity besides steps...like yoga or housework?

Best AnswerIf you move your arms - or specially the arm with the band on - then yes, your effort is measured. It's not magical, it uses movement sensors. So walking will earn you points, but cycling won't - unless you wave your arms wildly when cycling :-)

does it tell time or date?
does Nike FuelBands tell time or date?

Best AnswerThe device will keep track of time and displays the time on the LED. Internally it does keep track of the date (if you don't sync it up for a few days, it does know which day you did what fuel points), however it does not display the date for you.
Also in the newer firmware updates, you can now change your time using your iPhone -- without plugging into a computer (for example if travelling or with daylight savings time).- Answered by Randy W from West Chicago

Can the Nike+ Fuelband be used around an ankle to better monitor activity?
I've been reading good reviews on the current model, however I have been curious as to why Nike chose the wrist over the leg/ankle. As a competitor bodybuilding, I'm beginning my cardio stage and would enjoy improved tracking of my workouts. This doesn't seem helpful when arm movement is measured, especially on leg workouts, etc. I was considering the extra large model, but it does not state the diameter size. Does anyone know if this can be used on an ankle? Thanks!

fuelband ipad
Does the Nike Fuleband work with the latest iPads? I have purchased the Wirthing scales and they do not even though advertised to. Would like someone's opinion who has actually connected the two. Also, would you have to take your ipad running like the iPod when using this device or can the information be downloaded after your run via blue tooth from the fuleband? Thanks for any assistance.\
