This watch is horrible - if you want real distance monitoring, get a Garmin. It was difficult if not impossible to calibrate, the corresponding site is confusing and cluttered, and there's no way to see it at night. Don't let the average ratings fool you - read the other reviews, even 3-4 star reviews cite flaws that I think are fatal.

Fairly reliable but distances for same run can vary by .1 to .2 miles, even after calibrating. I have had a lot of software problems and have had to repair the program 4-5 times.

You don't need nike shoes to use this device. There are lots of different ways to attach the sensor to your shoe. I have been using nike+ with new balance shoes for the past 3 years and haven't had any problems.

Nowhere on the site does it say you need to also have Nike shoes. The description implies the footpod is compatable with any type of shoe, but that is clearly not the case.
I don't know who I'm more angry with - Nike for making a product that is a cheesy way to lock you in to their shoes

I've used the Nike plus with my Ipod for the last two years, but you can't wear headphones in triathlons and I use the Nike Plus for pacing. I tried the new sports band and I love it. Its nice to have the ability to see pace continuously. The other features with the plus for uploading data and tracking your progress are good too. I used it in my first half marathon and it was very accurate within on tenth of a mile. I need to prop up my macpro laptop to make a good USB connection but thats no problem. Battery life good too.

I love the nike sportband! It is a lightweight watch and it fits all wrist sizes. My wrist is small and it fits great! It works like a Garmin at 1/4 of the prce. Nike did well making this fitness product!

I love this. I have had mine for 4 months and it is working great. It is very motivating to see the data for each run and to see my progress.

I had an old sportsband which lasted about 3 months before the display became unreadable. I didn't replace it; I purchased the new version and it lasted for 3 runs before the display went crazy. I have been able to reset it and I will update this review after a few more runs. D

I received the old version for Christmas '08 and the screen promptly went out. Nike replaced it and the screen on the new one developed two large blotches on either side. I kept that one and waited until this new version came out and Nike exchanged my messed up one for a brand spanking new one. The new version is supposed to be water resistant (my old ones went bad just from being in my bag with a wet towel). My two biggest complaints, which are a carryover from the previous version is that when it is "working" you can scroll through everything but the time (distance, time elapsed, calories burned, etc) and you can't read it in the dark (no Indiglo feature).
