Reviews for Nike+ FuelBand - Medium/Large

The band is a good product, but not built to withstand everyday working peoples stress. The clasp broke within days, and its a HUGE HASSLE to send away to Nike. Apple washes their hands of it once they sell it, and you have to deal with Nike. This band is great for office types who's workout is a jog or cushy gym, but for real working people its just not durable enough.

I actually own the small Fuelband, and can honestly say it is a great motivator to keep moving.

The only reason I took it off was to try the new UP band by Jawbone. I missed being able to use the band as a watch or monitor my progress via blue tooth with my iPhone.

The other great thing about the jawbone is you can just plug it into the USB port on your macbook or notebook comupter and recharge it. no need for the USB Cable if you need to recharge.

I found the NIke fuel band to be much more accurate and easier to wear. no moving parts to lose like the connector on the jawbone UP.

Found it very easy to use n was quite helpful on my first marathon in Hawaii. For those who just need the basics to track your daily and weekly activity, the BEST! Great support

I'm very goal oriented. It is like getting paid for the activity. I do things I wouldn't do because I don't want to fall short of my goal. The longer you use it the greater the desire to keep up with the streaks and measuring week vs. week or month, all the way to the year.

My overall activity has increased due to the 6 months of habit development of striving to exceed the daily goal. I don't sit still like I was doing, thus the LIFE CHANGER title of the review.

For the second time today while working on my desktop computer, the FuelBand button or the band itself has caught on the edge of my keyboard tray and activated a rotating menu asking me to sync. The only way to stop it is to pull out my phone and sync the thing.

Why is the button activated? Because, since the metal clasp scratches my laptop when I type on that, I had to invert the FuelBand on my arm. So now the button gets pressed by the metal edge of my keyboard tray.

Very disappointing. Having to invert it or take it off defeats the purpose of wearing it continually.

The thick form factor works more like a prototype than a finished product.

In one sentence: make everyday life more fun.
