I have one too - bought in August when they became available in the UK.  I wear it every day.  If I am golfing I wear in on my right wrist - mostly because I wear a Garmin S1 on the other wrist.  I have occasionally found the connector to come loose, but that is maybe once or twice in 4-5 months wearing it all day.  I wear it in the shower with no issues.  I too wish it was 100% waterproof, though so I could swim in it too.  I use it for fuel points in order to become more active.  It has definitely helped.

Does anyone have the white clear one? How does it hold up dirty wise? Noticeable?

Also the sizing. Is the Xl huge?

They've got a sizing PDF on the Nike site - it has a cutout that you can use to size yourself properly.  I was dead in the middle of the Medium size.

Got mine as a Xmas present from the wife and I love it so far (wanted one for a long time). Wear it all the time, except at night every few days to charge it. Haven't showered with it yet, dont think I will.

It really makes you think about being more active...and trying to beat your score and others. A buddy of mine has had his FB for a while, so now im asking him during or after the round how many Fuel Points does he have...

I wear it on my non-dominant hand, but from the responses from Nike, they want you to wear it on your dominant hand. Maybe next week I'll change it up to see if it makes a difference.

I'm wearing a Medium with  the small link, fits great.

I've had Nike+ FuelBand since April 2012.  They work great for daily activity monitoring and while golfing.  While golfing, I have had it unlock on the rare occasion, but it has never fallen off, since I wear it on the more snug side intentionally.  The bad part is that I have had to replace (under warranty) it twice, so I'm on my 3rd FuelBand.  Talking to others, they have replaced theirs once or twice as well.  Most issues were with bad battery life and not being able to sync data.  Knock on wood, this latest one has work for about 5 months now.

I have had mine for a year now, I like it, it makes a nice watch aside from all the other stuff it does. Its not heavy and it does whats advertised.
I cant wear it golfing though it just seems awkward and bothers me, I usually fasten it around my belt loop for the round.
