I've been using one for a couple weeks now and I can't really tell if it really works or not but I think that it does help "motivate" me in some ways so I guess to me it is an effective tool.

I always do...in any form to keep me motivated even more. I'm also a bit skeptical about whether the FuelBand really works or not. I wore it on a multi-day Porsche drive recently and I noticed that I had accumulated twice as many "Fuel" as usual after a full day of driving.

Fitbit uses an accelerometer just like the fuel band... Only difference is it doesn't update you in real time. It does have more functionality (sleep monitoring) but all I'm trying to do is figure out my calories/distance etc on days I work out. Not trying to wear it 24/7
I have had a fuel band for quite awhile now and like it a lot. I anticipate they will add heart rate monitor functionality at some point since it already has bluetooth.

If you use the fitbit online site and plug in your consumed calories, you get a net calorie surplus/deficit per day. That is the only thing that makes it different from the fuelband I think. It's all just fun and games at the end of the day
