I had exactly the same experience. Owned 1-gen UP - total fail, the product was not ready for the market. Owned 3 1-gen Fuelbands. All of them broke down at some point.

The problem I see with activity trackers is that they collect your data, but in return they do not give you qualitative suggestions how to improve your behaviour. Suggestions that made sense. The data is becoming useless. I hardly ever checked my Fuel stats during 2 years of having Fuelbands.

And I want to know myself:) Atm I have all sorts of apps that tracks activity: Moves, Human, Breeze, Rove, Fitbit and etc. Hardly getting any value from them at the moment. I hope in the long term I will. Long-term investment.
