Nike + Fuelband, supposed to provide an accurate tracking of the steps of its users would not live up to what was promised to them. In the United States, a collective complaint is directed against Nike and Apple. If the former decided to settle the problem amicably, no compensation has been expected from Apple.

False advertising for the Nike + Fuelband? This is in any case the opinion of the Americans in possession of the smart health connected bracelet of the sports giant. Remember, the reinforced concrete argument presented for the product so that it stands out from the competition: the bracelet associated with the iPhone for precise tracking of steps and calories burned. A precision, which obviously was not there when using the device in the views of approximate results provided. What ruin a sports session for fans of quantified self.

Compensation from Nike

A class action complaint was therefore filed by clients, considering it to be false advertising. In addition to this complaint, the two giants were also prosecuted for the non-compliance with certain conditions of the warranty on Nike + Fuelband, which is no longer manufactured by Nike.

Faced with this wave of discontent, the sports equipment manufacturer decided to settle the problem amicably. American customers who bought the bracelet between January 2012 and June 2020 will receive compensation from Nike for $ 15 in cash, or $ 25 in voucher. On the side ofApple, radio silence, there are currently no plans for users.
