Reviews for Nike+ FuelBand - Small

I purchased the band about 45 days ago. I was shocked at how inactive I was. I am glad I brought the device but I think the calorie counting function is incorrect.

I was very surprised by the Nike FuelBand. The leds are bright and it is very light. You'll see it's pretty beautiful and useful.
First you gonna have to connect it first via usb to your computer, install the program, insert you own parameters, weight, height and more... when you will be done, sync it via bluetooth with your iphone or any other bluetooth phone. You can use the apps FuelBand which is pretty cool... you will be able to transfer all your date on it, directly to your phone. Very happy with it seriously! My note 96/100

The Nike fuelband looks good, and is comfortable to wear. It does not track steps or calories with accuracy. I called customer support and the reps replied their accepted standard is to be 80% accurate. "it is not a pedometer" was another direct quote. Mine under corrected by 30-40% making it worthless as a fitness and health tracker. My first fuel band had a fatal hardware error, Nike sent a second that fell apart (literally) after one month of wear. The second was also only accurate to 65%. A rep told me I couldn't expect something worn on the wrist to be as accurate as a pedometer on a hip. The box states " it also tracks each step taken and calorie burned"

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT if you are looking for an accurate calorie, step, and activity tracker.

I got my band for Christmas and loved it. Sure, it't not as accurate as my Bodymedia armband but it's a lot less conspicuous and does motivate me to get up and move. After about 40 days the band started telling me I had met my goal when I unplugged it from the charger in the morning. Called for support and ended up resetting to factory settings. Have had to do this eight times now and Nike will not exchange the band saying it's a firmware problem but my husband has a band and this has never happened to him. Tried to exchange it at Apple (since it was purchased through Apple online) and they referred me to Nike who says it's a firmware issue - so fix it already! Save your money and DO NOT buy this product until they get the bugs worked out.

Do not buy the white ice, it turns yellow in a month and looks so ugly.

The device had other issues, too; the Nike IT department isn't able to keep up with their own software. The FuelBand quit synching correctly, so, in order to have a daily total on the FuelBand I will have to perform a factory reset by connecting it to the computer every day. If I don't perform a daily factory reset, the FuelBand will just keep totaling up from one day to the next. That is, until the Nike IT department comes up with a solution for the "glitch", I think it is complete JIVE that I should have to perform a hard reset on a device daily just to have function properly.

It did not register my stationary bike workout at all, ( because you don't really move your hands when you bike especially on a stationary bike. It did a little better with my rowing, but I don't think anyone can burn 60 calories while rowing 4 miles in 17 minutes.Don't get me started on weights, push ups etc. If you want to motivate yourself to go out and walk more fine. If you are a little bit more serious... I guess you can still use this as an indicator. At worst case scenario it keeps time pretty accurately.
