Nike FuelBand
A wearable activity tracker
nike.com
In 2012, Nike introduced the Nike FuelBand – a wearable band that
measures and displays people’s daily activity – in a virtual metric called
NikeFuel – to inspire them to stay fit.
Targets ‘everyday athletes’
Nike targets the “everyday athlete” with the FuelBand, acknowledging
that everyday activities contribute to overall well being, inspiring people
to do more and giving people a way to measure the actual contribution.

And self-trackers
The FuelBand also appeals to self-trackers, making it easy for people to
measure their daily behavior and engaging them with visually beautiful
displays and metrics.

Helps make sense of data
itunes.apple.com, businessinsider.com
People can sync their bands with their smart phones and the Nike+
website to analyze their results and compare the universal NikeFuel with
friends and members of the 7 million strong Nike+ community.
Acts as a constant reminder
gizmodo.com, businessinsider.com
Ever present on the wrists of the owner, the FuelBand displays the
amount of NikeFuel earned for the day, and motivates people to meet
their daily goal.
Gamification of fitness
newscientist.com/
The FuelBand makes fitness a game by presenting people with a daily
challenge and rewarding them when they get closer to meeting their
goal, and makes daily activities and chores fun.
Instant feedback - a powerful motivator
facebook.com , businessinsider.com
The constant monitoring of data also acts a powerful motivator. Users
found that the instant feedback, and sense of progress helped bring
about a change in their behavior and make them become more active.
Does it do enough for $150?

While most agree the FuelBand is a great motivator, the FuelBand has
its limitations and, for the price, people feel it should include GPS and a
heart monitor and should be more accurate in measuring activity.
Part of the larger Nike fitness ecosystem
nikeplus.nike.com/plus/products/#compare_section
The Nike FuelBand is the latest addition to Nike’s suite of fitness
products, which includes not only Nike’s apparel and shoe line but also
tracking products such as the Nike+iPod shoe tracker.
Other personal data tracking products
Clockwise: Withings Blood Pressure Monitor, Withings Body Scale, FitBit activity trackers,
MyZeo Sleep Manager, Nike+ iPod
As gadgets get smaller and smarter, self-tracking becomes easier.
Indeed, we are noticing a trend of innovative tracking devices designed
to help people change their behavior for the better.
