You can also share your activity with friends, compare your stats and set up competitions between fellow FuelBand owners. Nike states that the poor state of Bluetooth 4. Google recently rectified that state of affairs with Android 4. You can forget about a Windows phone or BlackBerry app too, unfortunately.
The iPhone FuelBand app is fairly intuitive and will periodically sync in the background with your FuelBand SE as long as you have Bluetooth switched on. You can also force a sync for instant updates, and then view your activity on small interactive graphs to see how you're doing.
Once one person hits their goal, whatever that might be, the rest of the group can be notified to pile on the praise. The FuelBand SE ticks a lot of boxes for an activity tracker. With the Fuel metric Nike allows players of different sports or activities to directly compare their performance offering competition and challenge between friends. The band itself is a solid fitness tracker, and is certainly well geared up for monitoring more energetic activities.
The Nike FuelBand SE is an incremental improvement over the first generation FuelBand, fixing various bugs and small issues, as well as increasing tracking accuracy and durability. Pros: Water resistant, easy to use, robust, good for sports, great social elements.
The device comes in several styles, including a more fashionable, transparent variant. A simple interface makes it very easy to set goals and achieve them. Setting up the bracelet and syncing it with the NikePlus account is relatively easy, despite it coming with no instructions whatsoever.
The FuelBand SE is essentially a pedometer , and even if it can track other activity too, most people still use it for this basic function alone. Surprisingly accurate, it records all your steps and transforms them into Fuel Points. To boost your motivation, the tracker also displays a colourful line that changes its colour from red to green as you progress throughout the day. For easier reading of this vital information, the FuelBand adjusts its brightness automatically, based on the ambient light.
It may never become clear what determined Nike to stop producing the FuelBand. Perhaps it was the arrival of the Apple Watch — it is notorious that the two companies collaborated in the manufacturing of the band. Or maybe the technical glitches and mishaps the users complained about.
Nevertheless, it truly knows how to motivate. Seeing that cute guy dancing at the end of the day may easily become a goal. After all, who cares about some drawbacks and lack of super-tech features if the band manages to get you moving? A degree-qualified professional writer with extensive experience in copy writing.

Hi, interesting read. I do wear an activity tracker and have done so for nearly a year. The Nike FuelBand has a colorful display that gives you data with just the press of a button. You never need to sync your FuelBand with your computer. You can see your FuelBand data on the app and adjust your settings. You can also enable the app to remind you via your smartphone. If you have a Pebble watch you can get reminders from your FuelBand there as well.
You have until midnight to make your goal so you may have to take an unplanned evening constitution to get more Fuel points. When I reach my goal my wrist lights up with fireworks congratulating me! Colored lights at the bottom of the display show me how close I am to reaching my goal so I can know quickly how close I am to reaching them and whether I need to up my activity.
Unlike other activity trackers, the Nike FuelBand tracks your activity using Fuel points. Others who many want to be competitive with more steps, calories, etc, are befuddled when I tell them that I track my activity with Fuel points. You earn trophies for being active, which is a very cool thing. The trophies vary for how active you are, giving you extra incentive to push yourself harder. Some trophis include video and music. The trophies are virtual, mostly. You can track your Fuel by the day, month and year to see trends and progress.
The battery life for the FuelBand is phenomenal. I only charge it weekly and only once have I seen a reminder that the battery was low. The FuelBand feels solid on my wrist. The design makes the Band comfortable to wear. The edges are curved and the surface is a rubberize smooth plastic that is comfortable to the skin. The USB charger is hidden in the clasp of the Band. No parts to lose, the Band is totally self-contained.
You can switch the display between your right and left hand, depending on where you want to wear it. I have found my dominant hand records more activity so I wear it there. Setting up the FuelBand is easy. Double-tap the button and the time is displayed. You can connect with others on Facebook or in your Contacts to set group goals and compete with your friends. I was so accustomed to wearing my Band that I forgot I had it on. When I jumped off the boat and hit the water my FuelBand snapped off of my wrist and is now lying somewhere at the bottom of the Caribbean Sea.
The FuelBox is filled with cool stuff and the only payment allowed is NikeFuel. See, SlashGear , Nike Fuelband points could end up getting you free stuff.
