The failed connections on the sportsband drove me nuts, and after “losing” a couple runs, it got very frustrating. On the Ipod, it’s not hard to go in and reset it to send to the server if it gets lost. .-= cep telefonu al´s last blog ..İnternette En Fazla Satılan Ürünler Nelerdir ? =-.

I prefer the garmin for its extra bells and whistles, but looks like the Nike works well for the price. GPS Reviewss last blog post..Garmin Colorado 400t Review

I’ve tried both the Ipod version and the sportsband. All said and done, I’m back to the Ipod.

Also, the face isn’t very impact resistant. After about a month and a half of use, I can’t even read it anymore. Trying to decide if it’s worth trying to return it/see if the warranty covers this.

Do note that attaching the sensor to a non-Nike shoe this way might affect the accuracy of the sensor. Using a Nike shoe puts the sensor in its most ideal position.

I found a great, cheap way to attach sensor with pictures and instructions at:

So far, I’ve been fairly impressed with the Nike+, understanding what it’s for — and most of that has to do with the website and the challenges. I’ve gone so far as to have a Garmin on one arm to keep all my stats, and the Nike+ Sportband on the other arm, just to make sure I can keep up with the challenges! That being said, there are some drawbacks:

- Do *not* get it wet! I’ve heard horror stories of people who left them out in the rain or tried to take a shower with them, and they just stopped working. Mine has been working just fine, though, even up against the sweat produced by a Florida summer.
- I wish there were a backlight on the screen. Very hard to read in low light.
- I wish it would work with Linux, but so far, it can only be used with Mac and Windows.

As far as attaching it to the shoe, you want it to be fairly tight, so just being in the shoe pocket may not be enough. I’ve got a little sensor pocket that I got from Amazon for $7 that I use:

Finally, it does work much better when you sync it. Mine was about 10% off until then, and now it may be 1% off — not bad at all.

I’m a longtime user of the Nike+iPod system and love the accuracy, I was looking forward to this product so that I could get accurate distance and pace without having to use my iPod.

It was awesome for the first 59:59, then I discovered that on runs longer than an hour, it doesn’t display seconds.

This is (to me) a huge deal – I like to time walk breaks, and to time splits. Absolutely useless.

I’ve got the Nike+ Ipod kit. IAnd I love it. While I haven’t used it on any meticulously measured courses, I do know that the distance will vary depending on your stride. It doesn’t seem to miss a great deal, but if you’re running anything longer than 10k, I’d recommend resetting the workout at a known distance. Running from my house to the main road has received readings of 0.50 miles, 0.49 miles, and, once, 0.55 miles. Or, calibrate with the procedure in the manual on a track. I’m accepting it for what it is, because I do not have to add another device to my arm before I run. I’m also kind of a ‘close enough’ person. I’ve got a friend who’s Garmin told her she’d run 26.2 at about 25.2 (if they lose their signal, they have no clue how far you’ve gone)….so no solution is perfect.
