you guys are tempting me. I got the new garmin for xmas, but I am not loving it at all. and I have been in the market for a new ipod...this might make sense.

If it doesn't have gps, how does it know how many miles you have run? or your pace.


honestly all I want is pace and total distance...and if I don't have to wear the watch - all the better!

I'm trying to look on the nike+ site, but I can't tell if it has these specifics...can you guys tell me? I'm going to the deer park outlets tomorrow - do you think they have everything there?



The chip thing that goes in your shoe is like a pedometer. It can tell you your pace and total distance as well as time and overall time. The only thing it doesn't have is heartrate..that's another watch Chat Icon Chat Icon

I like it a lot. If you can return your Garmin and not lose money, I say go for it! Chat Icon Chat Icon



I don't think it's EXACTLY as accurate as a GPS because you have to calibrate it but it's right on target with the mill.

I know always feel like I have so much on with my chest strap, hr watch and ipod touch but I feel naked without it now!

Any more questions Erica?

do you think it would work with just the chip - to log in to do challenges? I eman if a chip is $25-30 - that's the smae price as a race - it's all motivation.

I wear nikes already and I need a new pair - so I might see if I can do that and use my watch for pacing and distance.

Hmmm...well, you said you have a nano, right? So then all you need is the chip and the adapter. That's what's $30.

no, the band just tells you your pace, caolries burned, distance, time.

I'm going to check when i get home. I might have the feature, just don't know it. I'll go on itunes while my Nike+ is plugged in. Maybe that will trigger something Chat Icon



You just jogged my memory! Press settings and scroll down (the apps are on the bottom). My Nike+ was there and I had to turn it on Chat Icon Forgot that part of it....Chat Icon

Good luck!



Thanks! I'm going to check it outChat Icon Chat Icon

I would just need to get the adapter.

I don't have it on my ipod. Chat Icon

BUT, I also don't have the adaptor. Maybe I can go today after work. I'm ok with the wristband for now. Once I get the adapter, I can try to figure it out. I have all of my new music ready to go. Watch out!!

You don't need the adaptor. The foot pod just transmits the info to your ipod touch. Hmmmm....I don't know. You got the software upgrade? Maybe DH is wrong Chat Icon

ok - I bought a pair of NIKE+ shoes, but I was unsure of what chip to get...I'm so confused by all of this - I should have known that the outlets wouldn't help me - I'll head over to Super Runner Shop...
