So I’m one week in on my simultaneous testing of the Bodymedia armband, Nike Fuelband, Jawbone Up, and Fitbit One. I’m learning quite a bit about all the nuances in these 4 devices and can safely say that selecting the one that’s right for you isn’t a simple process. There are many different factors to consider. From the device aesthetics, to the functionality, to the syncing, to the web and mobile reporting, to gamification aspects and much more. Stay tuned for a full review that will cover all of this after I complete my testing in a few weeks. In the meantime below is my activity from yesterday that included 2 hours of playing racquetball to show you the variance in the data tracking.
Stats from each device:
Fitbit One 13,299 steps 3,548 calories burned
Nike Fuelband 5,979 steps 1,573 calories burned
Jawbone Up 11,938 steps 2,672 calories burned
Bodymedia 11,401 steps 3,480 calories burned
