Nike FuelBand Event on October 15

Nike has send out invitations for there press event on October 15. On the invite it simply says “NikeFuel Forum” so this means that the next FuelBand will be announced at this event. FuelBand is a fitness product from Nike.

What can we expect from the next FuelBand is still not known. According to the source it should have some of these features

•  The design will be similar overall and still wrap around the wrist (current model shown above).
•  The new FuelBand will be constructed with new materials that will result in a much more durable design that could sustain stronger environmental conditions.
•  The new FuelBand will include much better battery life allowing customers to not worry about charging their FuelBand up every couple of nights.
•  While versions with Heart Rate monitoring capabilities have been rumored, we’re hearing that said functionality may not make the cut for this model.
•  The new FuelBand will be built with Bluetooth 4.0 low-energy to connect to new smartphones and work more efficiently. This plays into the improved battery life factor.
•  The display and general software operation of the device will be nearly identical to the current model.

With all the smartwatches being released recently and even more of them are announced or rumored. It's going to be interesting to see if Nike can bring something new and unique.
