This review is from: Nike + iPod Sport Kit - USA (OLD VERSION)[Retail Packaging] (Electronics) I just got back into running after a five year break. This was hands-down the best investment I made (after new sneaks of course.) My favorite aspect of it is the competitive nature of the website that is linked when you upload your runs to iTunes. (It's a Nike site.) On the site runners can track their progress, become "friends" with other runners to offer encouragement, and even challenge other runners to online "races." There are also customizable "goals" that can be set up such as, "Run 30 miles in the next four weeks," or "Go on 8 runs in the next two weeks" to keep runners personally motivated. (I used to do this with a paper/pen on my fridge!) Challenges (races) are broken down by levels so a newbie runner like myself, is not competing against someone who logs 30miles a week. It took me a few runs to get the hang of the controls (I was constantly having to take my nano off my arm to check the screen), but now it's easy. Why five stars:...Read more 46 of 46 people found the following review helpful: I think some people are expecting too much from this, By This review is from: Nike + iPod Sport Kit - USA (OLD VERSION)[Retail Packaging] (Electronics) I don't work out, or I should say I didn't before getting this, the truth is I've been wanting this but refusing to buy it since it was announced. It works with the Touch 2nd gen + all the Nanos, but they can't make one that works with my 1st Gen Touch ARRGH! With that said, I broke down and bought a Nano 5g and the Nike + Sports Kit on Easter Sunday. I see some reviews where the people are complaining about how it's not very accurate. It's very possible some of them didn't put the sensor in right (I'll bring this up in next paragraph) I paid $29 for it, and honestly it does a pretty damn good job tracking my jogging. It's not spot on, but for $29 I don't expect something that will be accurate to the hundredth of a mile. I don't own the Nike + shoes (yet) I have some Reeboks and bought the Nathan pouch for the sensor. Supposively the sensor is even more accurate when used with a Nike + shoe, but I get within 3-4% which is good enough for me. I think it should get down to 2-3%...Read more 13 of 13 people found the following review helpful:  Great once you calibrate it, Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Nike + iPod Sport Kit - USA (OLD VERSION)[Retail Packaging] (Electronics) I got my Nike+ sensor 2 weeks ago and am using it with an iPod Nano (1st generation, the squarish one). It was very easy to get started, I just skimmed over the instruction booklet, popped the sensor in my shoe and the receiver in my iPod. The menus were pretty easy to follow to start a workout session. I noticed pretty quickly that the run distance was off by about .1 miles (it was recording a 1 mile as 1.1 miles). They are supposed to come preset to fit most people, but I recommend calibrating it if you are picky about the mileage like I am. I calibrated it and now it is accurate over the course of an entire run. One problem I did have was that while I could upload my runs to NikePlus.com through iTunes, the runs were not showing up on my iPod except right after I finished the workout. After I had turned it off, I could only see my workout totals, but the details of any of them. It was annoying but since I could still upload them to the site, I...Read more |
