Unlike something you might see in a TV infomercial, however, simply wearing a FuelBand does not make you healthier, build muscle, or automatically cause you to lose weight. So, whatever you do for fun and fitness-whether it's walking, running, aerobics, working out at a gym, or almost any other activity-the FuelBand is designed as a motivational tool that will potentially encourage you to stay focused and realistic when it comes to managing and achieving fitness goals. This makes it easy to compare activity and progress with friends and other Nike+ members.Īlthough the iPhone app helps you define your fitness goals and track your performance over time, the FuelBand monitors your actual daily activity and provides subtle feedback using its colored LED display and audible tones.

Using the movement information that the FuelBand detects, it converts your activity into "NikeFuel," which according to Nike, is calculated the same way for everyone. It's also designed specifically to be worn on your wrist, as opposed to your ankle. It is designed to be worn in the shower or in the rain, for example, but not when you're swimming or soaking in a bathtub. The Nike+ FuelBand SE is water-resistant, not waterproof.
