The Nike+ SportBand: Simple Run-Tracking on Your Wrist
Like the freedom of running without a media player? If so, the Nike+ SportBand could be your new favorite running partner. It tracks your time, distance, pace, and calories burned on an easy-to-read display, plus it links to Nikeplus.com, where you can join challenges, map your routes, and connect with friends--all without an iPod.
How it Works
The Nike+ SportBand is easy to use. Just put it on your wrist, place the sensor under the sockliner of your left Nike+ ready shoe, and start running. The sensor measures your pace, distance, time elapsed, and calories burned. This information is transmitted wirelessly to the Nike+ SportBand, for real-time feedback while you train.
About the SportBand
The Nike+ SportBand captures and stores up to 30 hours of running data, and doubles as a watch with time display. The removable Nike+ link lets you easily connect it to your computer for transfering data to Nikeplus.com. While it's plugged in, the battery is recharged automatically.
The SportBand is designed for runners, and is a one-size-fits-all solution, with a pre-curved polyurethane band for lightweight comfort. It's also water resistant, for running in the rain or giving it a quick rinsing off without worry.

Nike+ SportBand (Black/Cool Grey/Silver) Reviews
48 of 49 people found the following review helpful: Nike+ Sportband, By This review is from: Nike+ SportBand (Misc.) The Nike+ Sportband is an excellent tool to add to your running or walking routine. The device links to a sensor you place in your shoe that tracks your milage, pace, and calories burned. Do not think this is to be used as a pedometer. It is meant for measuring distance not steps. The Sportband is very simple to use once you get past the directions Nike includes. The directions included show pictures, but written directions do not accompany these. This is frustrating for people who like to use written directions and can be confusing. The directions are not clear about how to link the Sportband to the shoe sensor. You may have to google how to do this in order to assure proper function. The Nike+ Sportband is lightweight and very comfortable for wrist wear. It is a little large for people with small wrists. I have it on the tightest setting and still have movement on the wrist. It is a great alternative to the iPod armbands which can give you that tourniquet...

I had a first generation band that lasted about a year and a half (finally the portion that inserts into the USB drive failed to hold a charge through a workout). The mileage could vary significantly, being off up to a quarter of mile for each mile. However, this new band has been right on the mark, usually within one hundredth of a mile. You can use this on road running or the treadmill. It is great to be able to easily track your mileage and satisfying to see your progress on the Nike + website. The website can be tempermental, but that could be a mac issue. In general, it is an easy system to use. Both bands that I have had required about a half hour of getting the band to see the sensor chip, which is frustrating to say the least. Don't forget to buy a sensor holder for your shoe. It will not fit into a shoe except for a couple Nike models. I also bought my sister a band and her sensor died in 6 months, while mine still works after a year and a half. Nike/Apple has been good about...

I was wrong. I calibrated it, re-calibrated it over and over and it would never work properly. I was trying to use this device to train for a half marathon but the times were always way off not even close to the times I did. I even went as far to take it back to the running store that I bought it at and have them help me with it but they couldn't do anything with it either. In theory, I thought it was going to be a great buy but in the end (as always for me at least) I got what I paid for. I got a product that never worked properly. I took it back and saved my money and bought a GPS since I've had no problems and all of my runs are recorded correctly which is really important when training for races. I hope that whoever reads this review has a better experience with this product than I had but I would advise to save your money! |
