I have a jawbone UP band, and have some friends with the fitbit. They're both good, and if you link up with friends they are a great motivator to get you out and moving.
I also have a gps watch for runs. I need real time pace, and overall pace which the UP band doesn't do, at least in an on the fly accessible manner.

In other words, you might need both. If you arent' a hardcore runner, start with one of the fitness bands.

Some people walked a lot less. We got one for my mom. She's been trying to lose weight via diet forever. We thought she could use her extreme competitiveness to her advantage. By being able to compete with us, she's lost 125 pounds in the last year. It's been a real positive for her.

You can get non-bluetooth jawbone UP bands for under $45 on amazon.
