Nike Fuel Band

NIKE'S FUEL-BAND

       Hey guys, today i'll be talking about the Nike fuel band.I chose this item because its not an item that hasn't been brought as much and its an item that relates to health and sports. I find this gadget to be very interesting because it isn't like normal bands that you wear. As a long distance runner, the Nike fuel band offers a simple, design that doesn't get in the way during most physical activities. It's pedometer tracks steps taken, calories burned, and a proprietary measurement of activity called Nike Fuel. The accompanying iOS app and Nike+ Web site offers graphs and data of your workout. Also the app and site gives great motivational tips to complete your goals.

Here is a video of the how the band works:

As you can see in the video, you can do all sort of activity to stay in shape

       

        The Fuel-Band is a somewhat thick, rubber-feeling band that wraps around your wrist, secured by a metal clasp. Its simplistic design: a single button for scrolling through the categories, a large row of 100 white LED's that display the readouts, and a smaller line of 20 color LED's that change from red to green as you get closer to your stated goal. You push the button to get the Nike Fuel score, and push it again to rotate through calories, steps, and the time. Also there are 3 types of colors:

There is Black

There is White Ice

And there Black Ice

In my opinion I prefer the Black band.

        Although the Fuel-Band is a great Product, without the appropriate apps the band is worthless. Also the apps can be only be found on apple store. Therefore without an apple product you can't access the info or graph you want to see. Also the Band won't give you an accurate GPS-based reading on how far you've run. The band wont give you a reading how much calories you burn if your not moving your arms.

       In conclusion, I find the Nike Fuel-Band is a very inspiring device which makes you want to take that extra step to complete your goals.Like taking the stair instead of the lift or walking than taking your car. Also altogether the band has an attractive design to it, making athlete like my self want to buy it. But I will admit that the band may not be accurate but the device isn't about the data, its about you setting your goals and trying to beat them to become health person.
