Digital camera reviews of NIKE + IPOD SENSOR-USA

Digital camera Review: Fickle Device
Summary: 3 Stars

The Nike+ Sensor, like many inventions/ideas, looks great on paper and is great in theory, but really needs some tinkering to get the bugs worked out. I have had three of these little guys over the past two years. The first one was the best. It came as part of the Nike+ Sports Kit for iPod. I never had any problems with the first sensor. In fact, when I purchased the SportsBand that came with the second sensor about a year ago, I had to use the first sensor with the Band. The second sensor never once worked.

I lost my first sensor in the shuffle of a move and purchased the third sensor for my shoes. I was able to link it and use it once before it, too, bit the dust. I could kick myself for losing that first sensor.

In my opinion, Apple/Nike's decision to make the sensor automatically on is its major downfall. The movement of the sensor uses up battery life and you cannot replace/recharge the sensor's battery. In shipping, the sensors are obviously jostled and therefore must be using up battery life to explain why so many of these little guys are constantly Dead On Arrival or live such a short life. I will be trying one more sensor and this time purchasing from an actual store (hopefully to lessen some of the shipping pains) so returning, if need be, will be easier.

Overall, if this next sensor is too a dud, I will be waiting for a revamp of the Nike+ system before purchasing again. I say buyer beware. The product is a great concept, but has many flaws. Be sure to keep your paperwork for future problems/returns because you will more than likely experience some issue requiring it.
