Reviews for Nike + iPod Sensor

I have the Nike shoes with the sensor at the bottom of them but for some reason on the app it keeps telling me to walk around to activate it I don't know what to do or what I can do to fix the problem

I am surprised to see reviews were people are getting so few uses out of the sensor before the battery is running out. I wonder if it is a shelf life issue because I think the sensors are active when you get them. I just wanted to say I have been using my Nike + iPod for a year and a half. I have logged close to two hundred miles with over 70 runs on the original sensor.

This works great just as promised and I love that it uploads my running data to Nike. The first one I ordered arrived dead, so the good people at Apple customer service sent me a replacement for free.
I don't think it is a big deal to have to replace this yearly. My first one lasted almost a year and a half, and I never took it out and "put it to sleep" as recommended. The benefits of seeing your run times and distances coupled with the FREE Nike Plus website, more than makes up for the 19$ you may have to spend to replace this.

I really enjoy the way this product works. I recently found out that if you are currently listening to a podcast or audio book, another option becomes available when you go to the Nike Workout called: "Now Playing." I had assumed you could only listen to playlists/music when working out, so I was happy to learn about this option.

A great product that works seamlessly and is very user friendly!

I would read the instruction book in detail to learn how to work all the functions. Also, it says it has over 1000 hours of active time, but this is not just when you run. The sensor is on by default, which makes 1000 hours about a month and a half if you never turn the sensor off. You can do this by holding down the button on the sensor for 3 seconds. If you turned it off, and try to do a workout, it will eventually say it cannot find a sensor, and it flashes no sensor in the top left corner. Hope this helps!

I would still buy this and it is totally worth the price!!!

if the sensor all of a sudden stops working, it may not be a dead battery. Just happened to me. I thought the battery died. But actually, it must have been my iphone 3gs as I started having problems with the volume and shutdown buttons while I was jogging and had the Nike app open. So to resolve the phone issues, I went to the apple store. Luckily I was able to get a new iphone (since it was still under warranty). then tried my nike+ again but the sensor wasn't working. I went to the settings on my iphone. scrolled down to the Nike setting. selected Sensor and even though it said "sensor is already linked" I hit the "link new" button. This solved the problem and I'm able to use my sensor again. Havent gone for a run yet so hopefully it isnt a weakening battery after all. Whatever issues I had with my iphone (don't wanna get into it), it must have somehow unlinked my sensor. glad i tried this before getting a new sensor. I got the sensor and started using it in June 2010 so it would have been very disappointing if the battery was already out since I only run about 1-2 times a week for about 40 minutes each time. Just try it!

Got it not to long ago and I've fallen in love with it!
It's the first thing I've ever bought that has actually helped to improve my motivation to go workout! The powersong function is great and I love how my stats are read out to me!

I bought this sensor a few days ago and I just love it. I can listen to my music, while my Ipod and my sensor keeps track of my running.

That means, that I don't have to pay attention to my watch anymore, because I just select the 30 minutes workout and my Ipod tells me, when I have to turn around.

I have been running with the Nike + for over a year and I LOVE it! The most important thing to me is that it motivates me to run faster and longer. There are a lot of goal setting tools online that I have used some and plan to use more in the future. I have found that sometimes it tells me how far I've gone and sometimes it is silent- I have yet to figure out why. Generally I have found that it works the way I expect it to.
