Nike+ Ipod sensor

Has anyone bought or used the Nike+ Ipod sensor for your sneakers?

No, I haven't...but I've been looking into it. One of my friends on my online journal has one and she has all of her stuff logged through their website. I think i'm going to start saving my money for it, even though I don't need a new pair of shoes just yet.

I purchased the ipod sensor (it's about 29.00 at Academy), you also need the ipod (not the very small one, but the nano, it needs to have a screen on it and if you do a search online you can actually purchase a little clip ($8.00) so that it attaches to your shoe laces (so you don't have to spend 100.00 on the Nike+ shoes). It works just as well! You can upload your runs and compete with others. I love it. Check out the link below for the clip I purchased.

I bought one when they first came out. Pretty motivational. I saw that they have a new wrist band so that you don't have to buy the Ipod.

It only works for running, or walking, meaning it doesn't work on the elliptical or on the stairmaster.

You can then attach the sensor to a computers USB port and upload all of your info to the Nike+ website so that you can track your progress.

For those of us that are numbers motivated it's an excellent, easy way to monitor your workouts.

Thanks for the info.

I have asked a few family members I didnt now had one.

the battery is not replaceable...and the sensor ran out on two of them within 6 months. The upside is a new sensor alone is less than $25.

All said the accuracy was off a bit but what pedometer isn't??

Thanks again.

Just got the sensor. Nike had a 20% sale on the website.

Got the least expensive sneaks I could see there, they are still "airs".

With the coupon they were $63.00.

I am having trouble calibrating the sensor though.

I'm usually good with gadgets.

I see some of you also use the BBugg and the Garmin. Which Garmin do you have and do you like it?
