 Great once you calibrate it March 4, 2010
B. Ruppenthal
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 was ok with this glitch. Then a couple days ago my iPod randomly restarted and voila! my entire run history is now showing up on my iPod.
So now, after a couple glitches/adjustments, things are great and I'm loving this product. One of my favorite features is the ability to check your progress at any point in the run and it tells you the time, distance, and current pace. Also, you occasionally hear encouraging comments from famous athletes like Lance Armstrong when you reach milestones like fastest miles and longest runs.
Great tool... battery is the only issue February 22, 2010

I map my runs on (...) and the sensor was accurate to .01 mile. I measure on mapmyrun because they take into account elevation whereas regular google maps doesn't. Anyway, I didn't even calibrate the thing... I didn't have to! It is an option tho.
And then, I didn't read the book all the way through and left the sensor in the shoe and went shopping, did chores, walked to the mailbox... blah blah blah and now its been 2 weeks and I am getting a low battery warning. I will have to replace it soon but this time I will take it out of the shoe because it uses battery when in motion.
I'm training for my 1st marathon so I just adore this tool. It helps me to set my pace. I look down at the pod to look at my pace, displayed as 10'30"/mi or whatever it is... Since that is my goal pace, I can adjust as sometimes I run too fast or too slow. For the same reasons it helps with intervals :)
I also love the Nike site that keeps track of my PB times and goals... etc.
this is pretty good February 18, 2010

the online charts and the tracking is really helpful and this is way better then just a regular pedometer. my only complaint is every once and a while it doesnt quite sync the first week but now it's great and i've had it for a month.
 Beware of used sensor!!! February 15, 2010

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.

I've had this product only a few weeks now but it has already help my training tremendously. No more looking down at my watch every 30 seconds wondering when I'm going to be done with my run. I wish it automatically told me my time and pace at every mile though, instead of just the milage. But overall it's a very helpful tool.
