Best AnswerIt's safe to wear the Nike+ FuelBand in the shower or when dancing in the rain. You should be able to rinse off without a worry. Please be sure the USB leads are dry before docking the FuelBand to your USB port.
Since it's not waterproof, it's not recommended for use while swimming (or other activities on the water- wakeboarding, surfing, etc.).
Your FuelBand should be rinsed thoroughly in fresh water after being exposed to salt water or chlorine.- Answered by Oiram P from Guymon

AnswerIf you go to an Apple store, you can try on the different sizes there. Unless you have really little or really large wrists, most people go with the Medium/Large.

Is fuel the same as calories burned?
Just wondering what exactly the "Fuel" means. My fuel number is higher than calories burned. My husband and I each got a Fuel band for Christmas. He thinks the Fuel means how many calories you need to eat. I think he's wrong. Does anyone know what the difference is between calories burned and the fuel number?

Best AnswerNike Fuel is whole integer number that represents your daily activity by calculating your calories burned along with your steps taken, while simultaneously factoring in your age, gender, weight and height. In short order, Nike Fuel is a calculation that allows everyone and anyone to compete regardless of their sex, age and any physical predispositions.

Answer
What a novel question! I just tried it out myself and found that my ankle is rather larger than my wrist, so it wouldn't close. Although I could add the spare links on and it probably would fit. That said, I don't think it was designed for use that way. The accelerometer is designed to track arm movements accurately, not leg movements. It would still capture data, but I don't think it would be accurate.

Can it be used in the water ( SWIMMING POOL) ??
- Asked by Danilava A from Paris
- Dec 17, 2012
- Flag as inappropriate
AnswerIt is 'water resistant', not 'waterproof'. Small splashes, washing your hands, etc, and you are covered, but swimming is not a 'small splash' and the FuelBand will flood and likely be damaged beyond what a bag if rice can possibly fix. I never wear mine in the shower because of the possibility of it being flooded with the hot soapy water.
So the answer is no.
I think Nike missed a large specialized market if the FuelBand was waterproof. Who knows, possibly the next version will be...- Answered by Robert C from Saginaw
