nah...small bumps on the clasp will open it and its a pain to keep closing it
really just good for cardio estimates
It should be fine to use. It shouldn't open unless the clasp is pushed down all the way (which wouldn't happen with small bumps).

I'm sure you could probably somehow attach the fuelband securely to your shoe if you're riding a bike and it would still calculate movement. I guess the same would would work if you were just walking on the treadmill. Any bike riders attach it to there shoes to see if it works

I'm hoping they could incorporate more accurate fuel with exercises that use little wrist movement like pushups. Sometimes I forget to wear my fuelband after I charge it and realize I forgot to put it on when I'm driving

that cost me my 16 day streak.

Thanks for that.  I ordered mine last week  cause I kept hearing about it supposedly selling out every time and bought it just to see what they hype was about.  I should get it Wednesday but I've been having doubts about it cause I'm thinking what else I could've spent $150 on lol.  But hopefully it's worth it for me. 
 
Just got mine in, and the Large is far too big I think. I used the print-out paper measure thingy that they had on their site too. Gonna try it for a day, we'll see, otherwise have to exchange for a Medium whenever they're back in...... Poop.
 
Just got mine yesterday and already finding it beneficial. I've definitely been trying to be more active to make sure I hit my goal.
 
Got mine today.everything works well but won't sync to my iPhone for nothing. Called Nike, went through troubleshooting, finally they told me they would ship me a new one. Got a 20% off coupon out of it though...

yeah, that day was intense !

ran 9 miles, did a two a day training session, and boxing, annnnnnd work
laugh.gif
 
Yo can you explain what u did exactly to average 6K?? I had it for a couple of days and i was happy when i hit 4k. I don't work out every day and i got an office job so i don't know... Maybe i gotta step it up.
 
i workout and run everyday.

sometimes ill run, and fuel points barely add up.

but my workouts are intense - and thats were i get alot of points.

i do ALOT of quick movments, cleat training, oly lifts.

lots of stuff that incorporate wrist movements at fast twitch.

also my job is active.
 
got my fuel band today and my usb cable isn't properly working because it wouldn't recognize my band when i tried to connect it to set it up
mad.gif


called nike and the guy told me to directly connect my band to the usb port on my laptop. the nike connect finally picked up my band and i was able to set it up. Rep said i should be getting a new usb cable in about a week
ohwell.gif


any one else experiencing the same problem?
 
Pulled the trigger on one today on NDC... it was an impluse buy, sort of.. but excited nonetheless.

I JUST pulled the trigger on a Medium right now on NDC. Been on the fence, but decided...why not.

Can't wait for mine.

My wrist measured 7 inches even.. Went with medium. Perfect out the box without the additional piece.. Not loose not tight, perfect.
