Before you buy Nike+ FuelBand SE
Nike+ FuelBand SE is discontinued. Here's what a current alternative looks like.
Nike+ FuelBand SE was an activity band with glanceable LED goal lights and Nike's social NikeFuel score. It has been discontinued and its service retired. Ray is a current band that adds sleep and heart tracking, and it powers itself from light instead of USB charging.
Chargerless Ray
Nike+ FuelBand (original model)
The short answer
FuelBand is only worth researching for its history. If you want a current band that tracks sleep and heart health without charging, Ray is one option.
Nike+ FuelBand SE status: Discontinued / legacy.
