Nike Nike+ Sport Band

Good Product
November 01, 2011

I bought this about 2 weeks ago. I use it as a regular watch and also to track my run times/distances etc. Its pretty comfortable on my wrist, and is completely adjustable so one size fits all. The thing I really like about it is how the actual display disconnects from the band and can be plugged into your computer via USB to recharge and download running stats. I would reccomend this to anyone looking for a compact watch that is relatively inexpensive for what you are actually getting.

Great buy

ever since purchasing this product, it hasn't left my wrist. It's pretty accurate & stylish as well. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a inexpensive gps watch that's worth the money.

Nike + Sports band
July 25, 2011

I have owned a Sports band for two years, it is an excellent product. I would recommend you re-calibrate it regularly as your pace changes. I've always felt a lap feature would be nice. However overall it has everything you need to track your run. I bought this one for a family member.

Good Basic Running Tool
July 17, 2011

This is a great tool to track your running when you do not want to spend a lot of money on a fancy GPS watch. Once you get it calibrated it seems to be fairly accurate for short to medium runs (3-6 miles). On longer runs it can start gaining or losing mileage depending on the calibration. I bought a separate holder for the sensor since I do not run with Nike shoes. Sensor and watch has held up for 300+ miles with no problem.

Nike + Sport Band
July 07, 2011

I had problems with my Ipod touch. But I wanted to keep track of my runs on the Nike + website. So I purchased the nike band. It is so easy to use and easy to sync with the website. It looks very sturdy but I haven't used it too much.

not as simple as I've thought
June 04, 2011

I was looking for something simple to use on my runs. When I read the reviews on this product I thought it's easy enough. But setting up wasn't as simple as I've thought. It's back in the box and I hope to give it another try when I have more time to figure things out. I hope I will have a better review next time.

Completed a few runs with it, and so far so good. You don't need to use it only with Nike+ shoes. I ordered a shoelace pouch for it and it worked great. Would definitely recommend it as an alternative to a higher priced, GPS running watch.

Excellent for beginner runner!

With this Sportband, all running records can be uploaded to Nike website and you can see the result. In addtion, you can find friends to motivate each other to run regular basis. It is good motivator.

I love the Nike + Sportband!

I really love the product! I received it so quick! I have the Nike+ for the ipod but sometimes I do not always listen to music when I run or walk. This is nice because it tells me my pace, distance, calories and time without having to hook it to my ipod. I really like it!

Nice motivator

I am the type of person who needs to be able to measure progress. The Nike+ Sport Band helps me do just that. I am on my way to running 5k's once again.

it's fun!
January 26, 2011

The Nike+ Sportband is a device that makes running a little more enjoyable when you can compete and movtivate others to excercise. You and others are able to create an online profiles to track progress and compete against each other. The only problem that i've had with the device is it's not as waterproof as i need it to be. The shoe chip failed after a wet run where my shoes were totally submerged in to water. Otherwise, easy to setup and use.

love it

I just replaced a nike band I used for over 2 years. This is a great training device for runners (who also use nike+ shoes), especially given the low price. I never calibrated the band, but found it to be highly accurate. For example I ran a half marathon and the band was only off by about 0.4 miles. Its easy to check your pace, distance and time while you run. The band is lightweight and comfortable. Accuracy is not perfect, but you can't beat it for the price (compare to a GPS watch usually over $200). After your run it is easy to download the info to your computer. The nike website is great. The screen on my old band finally died after a run during a downpour, but no other problems before that.

Great running tool!

I absolutely love this Nike+ Sports Band! It is super easy to use and links to the Nike running website which really helps keep you motivated with tracking your runs, setting goals, and training plans. The Sport Band is convenient, easy to use, attractive, and has good battery life. It's way more convenient than my old pedometer and not only shows you the amount run, the time, but also the calories burned, which is awesome!

Nike + Sportband
October 15, 2010

Was looking for something to track my runs without having to buy an ipod touch. Easy setup up and use. Calibration of my runs seems to be very good unless i run on a trail. would recommend for anyone looking for something small and stylish and saves money.

Great product!
September 03, 2010

I had one before but lost it, I'm so glad I was able to quickly replace it. It works great!

Exactly what I need!
August 27, 2010

The Nike + Sport band is very easy to use out of the box. It's easy to setup and easy to use especially when you're running and can glance down and view the time, your pace, the distance you've run and calories you've burned. It's reasonably price and I would recommend it. Altrec was very quick in shipping it out!

Great running tool!
August 13, 2010

I recommend for this for all runner types. Great way to keep track of progress and areas to improve. 1st band lasted 3 yrs in of hard use overseas. LED screen damaged but runs still recorded.

Great way to keep track of runs and tool of motivation
July 16, 2010

I absolutely love this Nike+ Sports Band! It links up to the Nike + running website which helps to keep track of your runs, provides you with training plans, and allows you to use the Sport Band to the fullest. The Sport Band is convenient, easy to use, has a good battery life, shows you not only the amount run, the time, but also the calories burned (big plus for me!). It motivates you to run more and for longer because you are able to see your progress as you go along. I have definitely used it a good bit already and I just purchased it!

great way to keep track
July 07, 2010

doesn't matter if you're running track or just walking to get in shape, the nike sport band is an excellent way to keep track of your activity. the band is also convenient because you don't need to have a certain type of ipod to use it with.

broke 1st 5k
July 04, 2010

I used the fitband this past weekend in my first 5k and about 1.8th of the way through the race I looked to see my pace and the timepiece had fallen off the band. I looked for several hours for it and never found it. I never got to enjoy using it, nor am I able to buy JUST the band. I would have to buy a whole new system.

Great tracking tool
July 01, 2010

The Nike+ running website is a great way to keep track of your runs. The Sport Band and website will be really helpful as I try to improve my running (I am a beginner). The website is bright, cheerful and fun. I'm still checking out all the features, but so far, it seems like a great tool for new runners.

Provides great motivation
June 30, 2010

The product is flawless, comfortable, and very informative. The integration from the sportband to the online tracking software is seamless. The motivation to run has increased because I can compete with my best times and distances. Recommend to anyone wanted to begin or continue running.

Great for anyone
June 28, 2010

I am not an avid runner, however, this is a nice piece of equipment. It does a great job of keeping pace and distance and the website is great for tracking and keeping you motivated

good, easy to use device and service
June 28, 2010

The nike sport band is great! my girlfriend has the one for the ipod and I thought it was cool, but I don't have an ipod, so I bought this, which does all the same things in a nice, attractive looking watchband. I would recommend this to anyone who runs or walks for self improvement, exercise

I love this thing!
June 24, 2010

I am currently training for my first half-marathon and since there are no running trails nearby, I rely on my Nike+ Sport Band to follow my training schedule. I don't have the special Nike running shoes but the sensor fits nicely in my shoe and I don't even feel it. I don't think I could live without this!

Great for training
June 23, 2010

Bought these for my high school team. The kids love them and they are easy to use.

Great tool, though could be better
June 17, 2010

The watch itself works great. It's pretty accurate right out of the box in measuring distance and pace. They could improve it by putting a light on it for use at night.

Great for running.
June 16, 2010

This is a nice small piece of gear for running. I would recommend for anyone wanting to keep track of their running experience.

Awesome Fitness Tool
June 11, 2010

This is an amazing tool to keep track of your run. Easy to set-up and use. Great tool to keep you motivated in reaching your goal (miles, speed, calorie, etc). I have high regards to this product and will definitely recommend.

works great, no ipod necessary
June 03, 2010

The sportband works great, it's easy to setup and easy to use. Now I don't need to hide my ipod when I run in events that ban headphones and I still get a record of my run.

Perfect for running events
May 20, 2010

I love my iPod with the Nike+, but more and more running events ban the use of headphones. I still want to track my time, distance, etc. The Sport Band is the perfect solution. Altec was also was great. Fast, free shipping, and great customer service. I couldn't ask for more. Thank you.

Love This!!!
May 20, 2010

I bought one for myself in September and loved it so much and talked about it so much that my Mom asked for one for Mother's day. I go back and see the progress I have made since starting keeping track. The Nike website is easy to navigate and has a lot of great tools to keep you on track. The sportband is easy to use and is just like wearing a watch while I run. I love it and would recommend it to anyone who runs.

Exactly What I Was Looking For
May 07, 2010

I wanted something that was reasonably priced, that tracked my time, distance, and pace. The Nike+ Sport Band does exactly that. Sometimes I have issues with the software but the product is awesome! I love it. Altrec was awesome for ordering & shipping, no issues or complaints.

Good product, bad software utility
May 06, 2010

This sportband is a really nice product, the materials seem long lasting and it looks better than in the pictures. I would have given it 5 stars if it wasn't for the crappy software utility you need to download from Nike+. First, when you install it, you'll be puzzled because it doesn't create any shortcut or anything. If you are curious enough and try to run it from the program file's folder directly, it will seem as it does not work. But it does, it is installed as a background program that pops up when you attach the sportband's usb accessory to the computer. After that, when you try to log it in to Nike+, it seems to fail connecting, but it does. So overall the software is confusing, but other than that, the product is great, very well thought and I think it helps your running more than a heart rate monitor, for example.

Best watch for running
May 04, 2010

I started running with a friend and we wanted to find out how far we were running and at what pace. I had looked for about a month at all the different watches. This one is great! The fact that its easy to use, very comfortable to wear and that is links to your usb port and then tracks your runs, progress, automatically to Nike+ is awesome! You just have to sign up on Nike+ so simple. I would highly recommend this watch. Altec was great too, I called to talk about the watch with one of their reps and he was very helpful and knew the answers to my questions about the product. Shipping was on time and I would order from them again! Again another great Nike product...

fun tool to get you motivated to run
May 02, 2010

the sport band is a fun tool that offers the combination of a watch, mile counter and pacer. you have to load into the online nike system to keep track of your runs and i was hoping there was more functionality on the web. the battery seems to last awhile and doesn't require per usage charging. its small and not annoying when running

great alternative to apple dependency
March 22, 2010

the only thing bad about this is trying to get it to manually display what you want, say time of day, etc. it only has 2 buttons which makes it less complicated which is great, but maybe too simple in some circumstances, like setting the time. definitely would recommend it tho.

Perfect
March 22, 2010

Love it - just what I was looking for. Very comfortable & a great look!

Great Tool
March 22, 2010

The sportsband worked well out of the box. I had to calibrate it, it was off by just under 10%, but since calibration it was easy. Its reasonably comfortable and operation is simple. The Nike+ utility tool still has a few bugs, every once in a while it doesn't start up properly. This could be the utility or it could be my computer. Overall I'm happy with the purchase. I'll buy another one for my wife to use.
