I eventually discovered that it stands for 'Fuel points per minute'. The SE also tracks your 'FPM' during a session, but does not explain what this abbreviation means. You press a single button to toggle through your stats.Ī row of colored lights underneath the main screen provides a quick way to see your daily progress they light up from red to green as you get closer to your Fuel point goal.Ī new feature of the SE, compared to the original, is the ability to create 'sessions,' which let you track the Fuel points you earn during a specific activity, like an afternoon run, as well as the duration of the activity. There's also an option to view your step count and calories burned on the screen. A screen on the SE displays your Fuel points, 'hours won' (the number of hours in which you were active for at least five minutes) and the time. You can view some information about your activity on the device itself. Nike measures your activity levels in 'Fuel points', which are based on your movement and calculated the same way for everyone, the company says. Once the band is connected to your computer, you can set a daily activity goal. You'll need to install the Nike+ Connect software on your computer, and create a Nike+ account before you can start using the device. I found it to be a helpful way to familiarize myself with the device. I also hurt myself a few times when I accidentally pinched my skin in the clasps, so you'll have to be careful not to do this.Ī short video on the Nike setup website explains how to get started using the SE.

Still, the lack of a truly adjustable strap meant that the band wobbled around a bit on my wrist. The SE comes with two extensions (called links) that can be added or removed to make the band a smidgen (8 or 16 millimeters) bigger or smaller, if you need a better fit. It was a good move to make the SE mostly black, rather than white or clear, as this makes the screen (which has white lights) easier to read.
