Not Perfect but Very Helpful Tool May 12, 2010
Allez (New Orleans)
I've had this for about a month and have really enjoyed using it. I do not have Nike+ shoes and use the Marware case attached to the laces of my shoes, which seems to work fine. I use it with a 2nd generation ipod nano and I guess I'd still call myself a beginner runner - I typically run 9-12 miles a week, 3 miles every other day, usually through a park and sometimes on the treadmill.
Pros:
- Having the ability to just press a button to check my current distance, time, and pace is probably my favorite feature, plus it automatically tells you how far you've run at .5 mile intervals and 100 meter intervals in the last 400 meters of the run. This is great for keeping track of your workout and controlling your pace.
- The Nike+ website is great for tracking progress over time, setting goals, mapping runs, and getting training help.
- It's nice to have the ability to just start running without figuring out a route first.
Cons:
- The only reason I wouldn't give this 5 stars overall is the accuracy, which others have mentioned in reviews. For every 1 mile the Nike+ says I've run, I've actually run 1.1 miles. That doesn't sound like a lot, but over 3 miles that's an extra 1/4 mile. Over five, that's an extra 1/2 mile. That's a lot for a beginning runner like me! I've tried calibrating once, and will try it again soon. It's not something that will stop me from using it, but it is a limitation.
- When it is time to complete your workout, you have to go back to the menu and select "End Workout." This is annoying when your ipod is in an armband and you have to take it out and bother with the menus while you're nearing the end of a run and getting tired. If you stop running first, it will record that stopped time as part of the workout and throw off the calculated pace and time of the run, so I prefer to end the workout while I'm still running.
- With the sensor attached to the ipod it will not fit in a regular armband(Nike+ armbands seem to only be available for the latest generation of ipods). I had to rig something up to be able to carry it while I run. It works, but it's not ideal.

It's now April 2010 and for over 6 months now, [...] has yet to get this ish together. The site totally sucks. If you're looking to upload your runs and share with friends and all that greatness that Nike makes is seem to be, then don't waste your time. You're not able to search for your friends, sync your email contacts, you get errors when syncing in with facebook and twitter. It syncs fine from your ipod/iphone to itunes but once it gets sent to [...] is when you get screwed. I've been searching through all the threads and forums and they say they're working on it but over 6 months? For now, I would just skip buying this sensor and just download an app. Don't believe the hype, there is no friendly nike online running community. Seems like everyone is getting these issues.
 Works OK. March 3, 2010

Works fine, easy to use but they could make it so much better. I'd buy it again only cause it's the best on the market right now.
Beware of used sensor!!! February 15, 2010
A. Brown (Redwood City, Ca United States)
The nike plus system is great and easy to use but there is a great weakness in the sensor. The sensor uses a battery which is very difficult to replace. In fact, Apple and Nike suggest you buy a new one instead. Beware when buying used because there is no way of knowing how long it was used before and the battery could die very quickly.
