I also have a little issue with the FuelBand’s calorie counter (or for any calorie calculations from simple devices). Since the accelerometers measure all of the movement in your arm, I would think you may be getting credit for steps you do not actually take. As a pedometer (and with my limited understanding and use of pedometers), I would be interested to see how accurate the step count would be against other pedometers that are worn on the belt. So if you are a swimmer, you may not get the benefits of using the FuelBand. The second issue is that the FuelBand is not waterproof it is water-resistant, so you can get it wet and shower with it on, but you can’t go dunking it in the water for long periods of time. (The FuelBand uses accelerometers as a means of gathering the data it uses). The first issue is that the FuelBand is made to be worn on the wrist like a watch, so if you are an avid cyclist you wont get enough motion from your arms to get the full benefits of the FuelBand. Now before I go too far in this review, let me hit on a few things that may be considered shortcomings of the FuelBand, with the first two possibly being non-starters for some folks looking at the FuelBand as a workout device.
