UP24 vs Nike FuelBand After being a Nike FuelBand user for several years I’ve got myself an Up24 and decided to compare the data I am getting with both of the devices. While some of the data, like calorie burn, is subject to interpretation, the other data, such as steps, should have been more or less mechanically calculated. Surprisingly the data between the two devices had as much as 70% difference with Up24 usually counting more steps and Nike FuelBand generally recording more burnt calories. Here are a few data points I’ve got over the past week with both devices worn on the same wrist close to 24hours a day: Nike Steps Nike Calories Up24 Steps Up24 Calories 19-Dec 13,986 1096 16990 946 21-Dec 8,170 1003 11317 586 23-Dec 6,685 673 5553 272 25-Dec 1,929 319 2491 146 26-Dec 5,684 940 9675 54
