 Great item, just a few caveats. April 3, 2010

This is a great item especially for new or casual runners.
A few caveats:
1. There's an option to calibrate or not to. Calibrating will work for some, while others will receive a more accurate mileage read if you don't. Best way to check is by measuring your distance on a treadmill. That being said, give it a little wiggle room for error.
2. Try not to use it (by keeping in/on your shoe) if you aren't using it for a run you want to measure, because the battery keeps going as long as it senses movement.
3. Don't buy a used sensor - you have no idea for how long it was previously used. The battery might just die on you on your first run. A brand new, unused sensor will last a couple to several months. Mine lasted 3 months, being used 6 times a week at 2-3 mile intervals.
4. Input information! Your weight, time and date are important to review your progress and give you a better idea of calories burned. I was deliriously happy to learn that I had burned 500+ calories on a 3-mile run, only to realize later that it was because my weight had been inputted at 250lbs. :P
The great thing about this little gadget is how easy and user-friendly it is. It tracks mileage, pace, calories burned and your progress. It's simple, great for motivation and doesn't interrupt your music abruptly. And hearing someone congratulate you for your longest/fastest run is pretty fun.
All in all, definitely worth what you're paying for.
 I love running with Nike February 27, 2010

I really love this item. I run with it every time. It plays my music for me, including setting a power song to get you through your run. It tells you your pace, distance, time, & how many calories you've burned. You can set it for a certain distance, time, or just an open workout. Also on the webpage you can join different clubs that measure your distance to achieve a set goal. It's pretty motivating. I've noticed I run more often and better because of it. While running 5k & 10k races it's great because you can see where your at & how far you have to go. I love it!
Be sure to calibrate it with a pre-measured distance.
 Great for a while February 15, 2010

Do not buy a used sensor!!! 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.
