As soon as Nike gets off its butt and gets the Android app, I’ll be a mite happier. Lots of promises, no action. NOT happy.

i have been using the fuelband for a few weeks now along with my wife and handful of friends and family. While the fuelband is certainlynot an “athlete” grade tracker of your exercise minutae it does not inspire to be this so I dont fault it for that.

What it is however are two things:

1. Effective in getting you to move more. Do more. Be more active in whatever way you like to do and yes it even captures weight workouts although for not as much fuel as more dynamic movements.

2. FUN! its a blas to try to get more than your buds and family and you would be surprised at how motivating a string of coloured dots can be at the end of a long workday when you are 500 fuel away from your goal and if you dont get out you will breaj a 15 day streak while your firends are killing it.

I love it and no I dont work for Nike but following this discussion I wanted to give my perspective.

Wow, lots of negativity. I suggest you try it before you trash it…was lucky enough to get one and have been using it for a month now…LOVE IT! It’s simple, easy to use and understand for us non-techy peeps and looks like you’re wearing one of those rubber bracelets (not one person has said…what’s that). Wont comment on the other devices because i haven’t actually used them. $150 well spent…would pay twice that much if I had to!!!

Because I’ll be damned if I’m going out running with my $700 smartphone in my pocket. Or even in one of those arm bands.

The Moto is alot more. But why would we need that if you allready have an app to track your routes. Speeds. Play music. Etc. On your phone which you can take with you on yourworkout and have it synced via bluetooth?

Poor Nike supporting SOPA… lost my business.

Ya i’m with you on this — though I just bring my Gnex with me when cycling, however I’ve been wanting something better for running that has a “my tracks” app in it. $250 for the motoactv is a lot for some very simple tasks. I do like the Nike wristband idea but it’s feature list is too small to really benefit an active person, seems more like a mass consumer gimmick to me.

I realized that I think when they announced the motoactiv and everyone was comparing it to the ipod nano. When I have been waiting for a nano + garmin forerunner combo for a very long time and the website tracking like Nike+ was just icing on the cake, not to mention I can export all of the data and plot it onto google earth to track all the hiking I do.

Just cracks me up hearing it get a bad rap as an Android device when it is an athletic device that simply happens to be built on the Android platform.

Ok athletic nerd rant over

It is a lot like motoactv because it is something 95% of the readers of droid_life will never use since it is an athletic product.
