Reviews for Nike + iPod Sport Kit

i don't regret purchasing an i pod with this product,its the best

its really worth the money i think to its potential of 1000 hours of life and make custum workouts id think that anyone who enjoys a good jog or walk would really like this. although there is one problem, it some times goes blank on me because if you do not have the special nike+ shoes you need to buy a clip on to atach to your shoes and even though it doesnt move at all i have to put it on my left shoes and keep my ipod touch in my right pants pocket and i think im supposed to get an accesory to put the ipod touch on my are but its still over all pretty good.

So this thing rocks... I never thought I could get motivated by my nano. I went onto amazon and bought a silicone shoe adaptor that hooks into your laces. An additional $5 and I was all set. It literally counts your steps, your miles and your pace down to the foot. I LOVE THIS, at anytime during your work out you can check your progress by hitting the center button and it will tell you your pace, mileage and how long you have been working out. I recommend this to anyone who likes to see how much you have done. The online catalog that holds all your workout information lets you customize your work out to say that you felt good, it was raining, etc... Totally recommend this to anyone who asks.

I started out with just an ipod nano and would run on my treadmill for a little while but then decided once i got some shoes at the NIke outlet..that i would fork over $30 to give this a try..i haven't stopped running since...

I did just run in a race and the accuracy is off by about a half a mile so I have been researching how to get that more accurate..and have found a couple things to try..but overall..this has been SUCH a great tool. My first sensor last well over a year and i logged about 550 miles last year..I am well on my way to doubling that this year so I don't know if my sensor will last that long but so far so good...

I love it...i woudl reccomend it and have to several friends

I just started running last year and found when I finally purchased the Nike+ sensor I had renewed motivation to run and try to beat personal bests and set goals and challanges to continually do so. Easy to setup, easy to use while jogging (as long as you have the right armband for your ipod/iphone/itouch).

My only issue is the sensor would not wake up from 'sleep' on occasion and required aggressive shaking and tossing from hand to hand to get it to respond (troubleshoot according to Nike webiste) which is the last thing you need to struggle with when you are warmed up and ready to run, but once i figured out the trick it's worked flawlessly.

I recommend!

Definitely a good buy in my opinion.

I've had some Nike+ shoes for a while now and recently bought this product not too long ago (about two weeks ago), and I've been using it since then. The entire thing is easy to use and a nice experience. I've used it while running on the treadmill and it records everything accurately (not sure if your experience may differ though, I've read that some people don't get accurate runs). The way it syncs to your nikeplus account is definitely something else, it's a great way to keep track of your progress and see how you're doing.

Overall the product is great but has some minor problems, which may or may not include:
- Hard time finding your sensor
- Starting without your sensor
- And the sensor should be cheaper...
But you just have to make sure you're using it correctly and know how to save battery, the instructions it brings are a must to read if you don't know much about how it works. So I give it a 4/5.

I bought this to help me keep track of my running regimen. I started training for a marathon and had very strict guidelines on how long my runs had to be. 90% of the time, the Nike+ gear is very reliable and very accurate, but be careful that you don't change your stride and sprint too much, because it does not adjust well to changes in strides.

Overall, it saved me about 1000 headaches in trying to map out routes, especially when I got up to 18 mile runs, where to map out it would be a real pain. Highly recommended for the beginner, pro, or anywhere in between.

well I used it for a while this s is amazing only one bad thing the batteries are not recargable

I've been trying to increase the distance and time that I can run for, and I'm a former track athlete but I was a sprinter. Running long distance is very different for me, and so I bought this to help me keep track of what I was doing and how fast I was going.

It's a great idea and it works well if your strides are very consistent. Mine aren't, and I think the sensor either gets confused or straight up doesn't work (I've tried calibrating it, and it makes no difference).

I run on the treadmill at a steady 7.5 mph pace, which is an 8 minute mile. More often than not, the readout on my phone says I'm going at 23'11" per mile and then it jumps wildly to slower mile times, especially when I speed up to 10 mph on the treadmill (6 min./mile).

I'd be really careful buying this. It might be that it isn't very accurate on the treadmill, but it never seems to be right. I thought it would be exact but it's definitely far from it.

Also, as some other people noted- it's a huge hassle to have to turn the shoe sensor off. Nike should redesign their shoes so that you don't have to remove the insole, or make the battery replaceable and cheap. Buying a new sensor is ridiculous and I understand why that would irritate a lot of people.

Overall, the product is really cool, and it works great with the iPhone 3GS. The NikePlus website is PHENOMENAL for setting workout goals, tracking calories and distances, and mapping out your performance.

My recommendation is this: If you have the money and you want to add more objectivity to your distance workouts, then it's worth a shot. Just know that there's a possibility that if you're capable of running anywhere between a 4:30 mile and a 10 minute mile that it might act up and give inconsistent paces when you check during your workout.

K it appearantly can run out of batterys cuz since i love to run it ran out pretty quickly..... but fixed it though but they really need to fix it to last longer....and this an idea can we hold it in our hands while we run it can still track us right?... try it ppl cuz im trying it....
