Digital camera reviews of NIKE + IPOD SENSOR-USA
Digital camera Review: Great for a while
Summary: 3 Stars
Do not buy a used sensor!!! 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.Digital camera Review: Great item, just a few caveats.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great item especially for new or casual runners.
A few caveats:
1. There's an option to calibrate or not to. Calibrating will work for some, while others will receive a more accurate mileage read if you don't. Best way to check is by measuring your distance on a treadmill. That being said, give it a little wiggle room for error.
2. Try not to use it (by keeping in/on your shoe) if you aren't using it for a run you want to measure, because the battery keeps going as long as it senses movement.
3. Don't buy a used sensor - you have no idea for how long it was previously used. The battery might just die on you on your first run. A brand new, unused sensor will last a couple to several months. Mine lasted 3 months, being used 6 times a week at 2-3 mile intervals.
4. Input information! Your weight, time and date are important to review your progress and give you a better idea of calories burned. I was deliriously happy to learn that I had burned 500+ calories on a 3-mile run, only to realize later that it was because my weight had been inputted at 250lbs. :P
The great thing about this little gadget is how easy and user-friendly it is. It tracks mileage, pace, calories burned and your progress. It's simple, great for motivation and doesn't interrupt your music abruptly. And hearing someone congratulate you for your longest/fastest run is pretty fun.
All in all, definitely worth what you're paying for.
Digital camera Review: Great product
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used this for a couple weeks now. I LOVE IT!!!! It works great with my iTouch, just get a pouch to put it in, attach it to your laces, and start running. It seems to be very accurate right out of the box. I love the feedback from the nike+ web site. Seeing how your run was, how your miles add up, it just is great for a non-competitive runner.Digital camera Review: Great to track your runs
Summary: 5 Stars
Works great with my iPhone 4. It's nice to know your pace and distance traveled with the push of a button. I don't wear Nike running shoes but it works fine with an aftermarket shoelace holder in my Brooks.Digital camera Review: Great, Useful Product for Any Runner
Summary: 4 Stars
I was at first a bit skeptical about buying this product because its like what, 20 bucks for a little micro chip but I gotta say, the 20 bucks is too little for this little "nothing." The thing works great! I use it with my 3G iTouch and it works spectacularly! It tracks the overall distance your running- of course when your using the chip and it tells you how much you ran while in your run. So lets say you put in that you want to do 5K it tells when you complete a kilometer. It's just a great product and I do not regret at all purchasing it! Oh and in case any of you were wondering, I do not put it in a Nike+Ipod shoe. I instead put it under the front laces- you know by the toe of the shoe- which keeps in place just fine!
I definitely recommend this product to anyone who will use it!
