 I love running with Nike February 27, 2010

I really love this item. I run with it every time. It plays my music for me, including setting a power song to get you through your run. It tells you your pace, distance, time, & how many calories you've burned. You can set it for a certain distance, time, or just an open workout. Also on the webpage you can join different clubs that measure your distance to achieve a set goal. It's pretty motivating. I've noticed I run more often and better because of it. While running 5k & 10k races it's great because you can see where your at & how far you have to go. I love it!
Be sure to calibrate it with a pre-measured distance.
Love this! February 3, 2010

What a great way to keep track of how much running I have done. I am using it with my iPhone and found once I calibrated it after 2 runs - it's been right on the mark each time. Along with the online service I find this to be motivational and I feel guilty when I miss a run. Well worth $20 in my opinion.
a good product February 15, 2010

Nice to run with. Nice to log in my miles with. I lost my previous sensor moving, and was glad to see they could be purchased separately.
Love Sensor, Wish Battery Was Easily Replaceable July 22, 2010

I've been using the Nike+ system for several years now. The only slight complaint I have is that the battery is not easily replaceable. I tried using the instructions at this website [...] but it didn't really work out for me. Maybe I didn't reconnect the battery correctly? One note if you do plan to attempt to replace the battery yourself, you should get one of those pouches instead of using the built-in Nike+ slot in the bottom of the shoe. I've gone through several sensors and they all get sort of beat up towards the end of their lift. I took a look at several of my old sensors and saw that the plastic was cracking in some areas. So I imagine if you use one of those pouches above the shoe, it won't undergo so much beating.
Even if you can't replace the battery, I guess it's not TOO big of a deal. At 19 bucks a pop, you just really want this thing to last a good amount of time before you have to replace it. What I've found is that it helps a lot to put the sensor to sleep after every use. I did a little experiment. For one sensor, I never put it to sleep, but I also never used my running shoes except for running. So theoretically it would save battery because it wasn't moving. However, for the next sensor, I made sure to remove the sensor from the shoe and hold the toggle switch for 3-4 sec to put it to sleep. On the next run, I woke it up by pressing the toggle switch a few times until my ipod recognized its presence. I repeated the sleep/wake procedure for each run. I found that the sensor lasted several months longer this way.
I should note that I run pretty regularly 3-4 times a week with distances varying from 4-10 miles.

Not a 100% accurate but very close when calibrated. Is an excellent training and motivational tool. Easy to use on iPhone and on the Nike website.
