Nike +

The Nike + is relatively accurate; on par with most mid range pedometers. I've compared the distances that Nike + reports with my car odometer and there may be differences (+ or -) of 1/10 or a mile or less. Not bad for $30. The real wins (for me anyway) are the voice prompts telling you how many miles/calories/minutes you've completed and how many left to go for a give goal, the tracking at the Nike + web site and other features. The Nike + site also has some canned workout plans that you can use. I do wish the plans loaded onto the iPod. Bottom line, it's not perfect but it is a good pedometer with some nice features if you're an iPod user already and it's relatively inexpensive as a training tool. If you are going to use an iPhone you might want to check out some of the tools at the App Store that integrate with other training sites like http://www.mapmyrun.com/. I use the Nike + tool and have been using it training for a 1/2 and then full marathon and like the tool. If you don't have or don't use an iPod there are some alternatives on the Nike + site. You also don't have to have the Nike + shoes if you find you prefer another brand in the future; a key pocket in the laces of your shoes works fine. For $30 it's certainly one of the better tools I've found. Hope that helps.

I heart my Nike +. I don't know why I bothered tracking any other way before it. It makes everything so much easier and I also like that it is small. I have small hands and even smaller wrists. Most fitness watches are too bulky and I can wear them. The Nike+ is small and sporty.
