Nike + iPod Sensor

This wireless sensor works with your iPod nano or iPod touch (2nd generation) to track your workouts. Insert it into the built-in pocket beneath the insole of your Nike+ shoe and pair it with your existing Nike + iPod receiver attached to your iPod nano. This sensor is perfect as a replacement for a sensor that has been lost or has exhausted its battery. Or it's great if you want to have a sensor for a second pair of Nike+ shoes. If you have an iPod touch (2nd generation), all you need to track your workouts is this wireless sensor. With its built-in support for Nike + iPod, your iPod touch (2nd generation) can deliver all the benefits of the Nike + iPod Sport Kit without the extra receiver. Please note: This package includes only the Nike + iPod wireless sensor. If you also need the wireless receiver for iPod nano, purchase the complete Nike + iPod Sport Kit.

4Great item - Don't leave in shoe though  May 20, 2009
By Wendell Barker
Item work just as promised, only problem is that you can't leave it in the shoe and wear the shoe or you will eventually run down the battery which can't be replaced. Once the battery is dead the item becomes useless. Manufacturer didn't provide a way for the customer to change the battery, thus the customer must purchase a full replacement to continue to utilize the product/software.

3Awesome but not very eco-friendly  Apr 13, 2009
By Wim Mulder
Although I love running with the Nike+ system, I have to agree with some of the people here that this system isn't the most environmentally friendly. It feels like a waste to replace the complete sensor just to be able to use your Nike+ again. Although there are ways to replace the battery in the sensor manually (just Google it and you'll find it) I wasn't sure if I would be able to do this without injuries. This could definitely be made easier. Not sure if this was a design decision by Nike or by Apple, but the motivation here is obviously to keep milking this so that instead of selling a product once they can continue to have you spend money every year when the battery dies.

5Renewing your Nike+ experience now is cheaper  May 02, 2009
By Gonzalo Jimenez Nunez
This product includes just the shoe's sensor to get training information for Nike+.
I believe that's very useful, because before this you had to buy the sensor plus the iPod receiver, which is a waste of money if you just wanted to replace a worn out or lost sensor.
One thing that many people forgets, is that every sensor has a sleep button, you can set it to sleep when you know you're not going to use the sensor, so you can save battery life and making its life last longer, so in the long term you save money.

1Completely inaccurate, stopped working after two runs and the Nike + site is useless.  Jan 14, 2010
By A. Dobler
Apple really couldn't have messed this one up any more than they did (from a user standpoint -- from a business standpoint, a running sensor that gets used up like tissues is genius). It doesn't work. For the brief window that it does work, it works poorly. The main reason I purchased it was for the running community (Nike +), but the site is so poorly designed that even the site recommends you use facebook for the social aspect of the product.

Also, why couldn't they just put an "On/Off" switch on the product instead of making you guess whether or not it's in sleep mode?

1Not very good  Apr 27, 2009
By MT Beckman
First off, there is no light to tell you when it is on or not on so the battery runs out fast. There is a button but you have to put it in your shoe, walk around to see if it's on....if not grab it out of your shoe hopefully think it is turned on then repeat.

Calibration is off...I ran, biked and drove the same route. Granted, I know it won't be exact but the bke and car were close in distance when the Nike sensor was off. I re-calibrated for a long distance on flat ground to assure accuracy but still was way off.

If you have the option for a gps I would use that...would be much more accurate.
