Despite Nike claiming explicitly in 2015 that it would continue to support FuelBands with the app after discontinuing their production, Nike gave its customers only two weeks' notice in 2018 before effectively making their FuelBands permanently inoperable (due to inability to clear their memory). As part of those efforts, on April 30, 2018, we’re retiring services for legacy Nike wearable devices, such as the Nike+ FuelBand and the Nike+ SportWatch GPS, and previous versions of apps, including Nike Run Club and Nike Training Club version 4.X and lower. Likewise, Nike no longer supported the Nike+ Connect software that transfers data to a user's NikePlus Profile or the Nike+ Fuel/FuelBand and Nike+ Move apps. Nike+ relies on the gamification of fitness activities turning all tracked movement into NikeFuel points, which can unlock achievements, can be shared with friends, or can be used to engage others in competition.Īs of April 30, 2018, Nike unilaterally stopped providing the previously promised services for legacy Nike wearable devices, such as the Nike+ FuelBand and the Nike+ SportWatch GPS, and previous versions of apps, including Nike Run Club and Nike Training Club version 4.X and lower. The information from the wristband is integrated into the Nike+ online community and phone application, allowing wearers to set their own fitness goals, monitor their progression, and compare themselves to others part of the community. As part of the Quantified Self movement, the FuelBand allows its wearers to track their physical activity, steps taken daily, and amount of energy burned.
