Nike FuelBand SE review: more social features, much longer battery life

Nike's new FuelBand is now out, and following a few weeks of running in parks, walking around exhibition halls and the occasional all-out exercise sessio

Decent battery life ; Sleek design ; Connects to your Facebook friends list

Still no Android app ; Not geared toward fitness buffs ; Pointless sleep monitoring feature

The FuelBand SE doesn't offer any earth-shattering changes from its predecessor, but its design, longer battery life and enhanced social features ensure it continues to be a solid choice among fitness trackers.

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

Nike's stylish second generation fitness tracker lasts longer but still has accuracy issues

Same, comfortable design ; Bluetooth 4.0 means automatic syncing ; Battery lasts longer

No altimeter or heart rate sensor ; Only works with iPhone and iPod Touch ; Still not waterproof

It’s activated just the same way as any other Session activity is, the trick though is to remember when to turn it off when you wake up. On more than a few occasions we left it running. It's questionable how useful the data generated is and it almost...

Nike FuelBand SE

Nike is hoping to set the pace for fitness trackers in 2014 with its new Nike FuelBand SE, an updated version of the bracelet computer that arguably started the trend. This one may look no different, but make no mistake, it's packing new smarts - are...

The Nike FuelBand SE won't help you train for a marathon or run an Iron Man. What it will do is help you improve your overall fitness level gradually: live with one for a few weeks in place of your watch and you'll find it will gradually coax you into...

Nike FuelBand SE Review: More Style Than Smarts

The FuelBand was Nike's first foray in fitness trackers, a sleek, stylish piece of wristwear that served as a constant reminder to be less lazy. The FuelBand SE is its wearable tech successor. But aside from a new splash of colour on the band, it...

I won’t be buying a FuelBand until it has a heart rate monitor and an altimeter. For now, after a few days, the novelty of the gadget wears off when you realise the data doesn’t really tell you much more than how much you moved, in the broadest of...

Nike FuelBand SE review: Can it keep you fit?

Nike's FuelBand tech has become as much a fashion accessory as it has a fitness gadget.

Nike's FuelBand SE is an interesting development over the original, but not the one-stop-shop that we so hoped it would be.

Nice but Pricey

It's ok, but not great! I will be looking at others unless Nike does some major upgrades.

Stylish and modern

Short battery life! You have to charge it every night or it will die on you!

Consumer review (cnet.com)

"Not bad, until it breaks."

I got this my FuelBand SE just after Christmas and I loved it for a couple weeks. In my fourth week using this, the outer casting tore (playing basketball) causing the display to be blurry, and it is no longer waterproof. I contacted Nike with this...

The display is attractive. It links well to iPhone. It looks and feels good on your wrist.

Breaks very easily. 1 year warranty covers nothing. Brushing your teeth gets you the same fuel points as running 2 miles.
