Customer Reviews Apple Nike + iPod Sport Kit for iPod nano 1G, 2G, 3G, 4G, iPod touch 1G, 2GFrom Apple Computer
Greatest invention ever. This is one of the most ingenius things I've ever owned! I absolutely ADORE mine. I can't believe I've ever run without it. It even encourages you when you've run your longest or fastest run to date. My only complaint is that if I run a 5k or 10k, the results obviously are shown in KM, and there's no way to convert to miles. This doesn't, however, bug me enough to knock off a star. No runner should be without this handy little gadget.
Will not work with 1 Generation Ipod touch I bought this product because it says it works with ipod touch 1st Generation. This is not true when I plug the receiver in to my touch it reads will not work with this device.
If you use it properly, it works great I was skeptical about buying this because I'd read so many bad reviews. Nike and Apple both live on hype, so how good could it really be? After a lot of online research on how to position the chip in your shoe and calibrate it properly, I decided to buy. I followed the steps (listed below) and have had no trouble. I did a one mile calibration and 3 weeks later the Nike+ was accurate to 200 feet on my half marathon! Incredible for something that costs $30. Maybe GPS is for hard core runners, but this would be fine for your average running fan. And the cool online running log is a great bonus you don't get with the geeky full feature GPS systems. The secret to making it work right: 1: position the chip face up, facing forward on your shoe 2: The chip must be held so it doesn't jiggle at all. (if you have nikes, this isn't a problem, but I don't so I cut a hole in my sole and made my own chip holder. I've see people use the lace holders with success, but it has to be really tight. 3: calibrate it for at least a mile on flat ground and try to run a consistent pace that is normal for your running. If you improve your average running time, you should recalibrate with the new pace for maximum accuracy. (Was this nerdy enough for everyone?)
