About ten days ago, I received my Nike Fuelband. I’ve been wearing it consistently during each day, other than when I’m showering or sometimes sleeping. It’s been measuring my movement during each minute of the day when I’m moving. The only time it hasn’t been measuring movement is when I’ve taken it off to sleep or to charge it.

So far, I’ve been quite impressed with the measured activity. Running on the treadmill has been measured, walking around the house has been measured, and, today, walking around the office has been measured.

With only two exceptions, I’ve made my daily goal of “fuel points.” the first was on the very first day, when I got the unit and had a mere three hours to test it out. The second exception was on New Year’s Day, when sitting around was called for after a late night and a closed gym.

My daily goal was initially 2,000 points. After the first day, I quickly saw that the number was way too low so bounced it up to 2,500 where it sits today. After today, I have one true data point for an office workday. Since we are moving offices as of late tomorrow afternoon, I should have a much better idea of a valid daily activity goal in the next few weeks.
