But the company has far more competition this time around, including a strong contender in the FitBit Force, which CNET editor Brian Bennett considers the best option currently in the market.

Aside from new colors, the FuelBand hasn’t gotten a proper refresh in more than a year and a half. Nike is overdue for an update.
