Nike+ Fuelband SE review

 

The Nike Fuelband is back. Is it the smartest tracking band of the bunch?

LED display ; Battery life ; Improved accuracy

No heart rate ; No Android app ; Not waterproof

Nike+ FuelBand SE review

 

The new Nike+ FuelBand SE is the company's second version of the wearable wrist device that tracks your activity. The second-gen device promises to deliver a better and more precise experience than the 2012 original by introducing Sessions to cater for...

Helps track your fitness, makes you part of a "club", comfortable to wear, good battery

Need an iPhone to make the most of it, expensive compared to the alternatives

If you're new to the FuelBand concept, then the SE is a strong contender in the fitness category. The end result is great, particularly if you have an iPhone to get the most out of all the data.

Nike+ FuelBand SE review

 

Nike's second-gen FuelBand is now even keener to get you off the sofa. But is it really as sporty as it claims to be?

Rugged and water-resistant ; NikeFuel is motivating ; Good social and rewards features

No Android support ; Not compatible with other fitness apps ; Expensive compared to rivals ; Doesn’t do broader life-tracking

An improvement on the original FuelBand, but now outclassed by cheaper and more versatile competition

Nike+ FuelBand SE review

 

I'm 518 Fuel points ahead of men aged 30-39 at this point in the day, and 678 points ahead of yesterday at this time. But, I still have at least 900 more Fuel points to go to reach my goal.

The Nike+ FuelBand SE adds Bluetooth 4.0 for continuous syncing, more water resistance for wearing in the shower, hourly motivational reminders, and solid social connectivity with other Nike+ users.

No Android support; only works with iPhone 4S and later; Bluetooth syncing can get quirky; no vibration for silent alarms or hourly reminders; app's toolset is a little simplistic; doesn't track sleep.

The Nike+ FuelBand SE is a minor upgrade to last year's FuelBand, adding Bluetooth 4.0 and a few new motivational wrinkles to its software, but the band's design is more successful than its package of features.

Nike+ Fuelband SE review

 

Despite a number of new features and a slick design, Nike's Fuelband SE is still not a serious fitness-tracking device.

Nike’s Fuelband SE is a delightfully fashionable piece of high-tech jewelry. It makes a strong statement that you’re down with technology, hyped on Nike, and interested in staying fit. Yet, as fun and stylish as the Fuelband SE is to wear, we...

Nike+ FuelBand SE Review

 

The Nike+ FuelBand SE fitness-tracking bangle looks sporty and feels comfortable, but it's priced higher than other devices that measure more meaningful data.

Stay fit: Jawbone Up24 and Nike+ FuelBand SE review

 

There was a time in my life when I recorded every piece of food I ate and every step I took. I kept a meal and exercise journal — an actual journal — before I had one on my computer. Once online tools like LoseIt! and MyFitnessPal became popular, I...

Sporty product and UI design ; Fuel points simplify data ; Athletes will love competitive sharing features

Sessions feature doesn't add much ; Sleep tracking rewards you for being restless ; Lack of vibration alerts

Get your ass in gear — and keep it there

Nike+ FuelBand SE review: Smart-looking activity tracker could use more smarts

 

The newest FuelBand has Bluetooth 4.0 and a few new ideas, but it's not ahead of the competition in terms of software.

Review: Nike+ FuelBand SE

 

Nike's second-generation FuelBand makes progress toward a more complete activity monitor, including support for Bluetooth LE, an improved accelerometer, increased durability and a new iOS app.

Intuitive user interface ; Convenience of Bluetooth LE connectivity ; Bright display

Basically same model as last year ; Rigid design may take getting used to ; Mediocre battery life

The Nike+ FuelBand SE is one of the more mature activity monitors on the market and it shows. Accuracy is good and the unique Fuel accruement system is a motivator for those looking to get more active.

Nike+ FuelBand SE

 

The band worked really well and I enjoyed its use for one day.

On the second day of use the main button on the product has broken and I have a message from Nike that says the warranty has expired.
