Nike NA0013-100 Review by S. Pettis
I will start by saying that I love the idea of this system. When it works, I find that the sensor is pretty accurate, and it's fairly easy to sync my runs and all that. My big beef with it is that I have now had two of these sensors, and both of them lasted less than 6 months. I only run around 10 miles a week, and I take the sensor off my shoe when I'm not running. This is absurd! I think Nike has quoted somewhere that the sensor is supposed to last 1000 hours. I don't think either of mine made it more than 50 hours. That's 5% of the stated battery life! I know I am not the only one with this problem--a simple Google search shows that it is common. Then, instead of making the battery replaceable (so it would cost maybe $5 to replace), you have to buy a new one for $19!! Can I still recommend the system? I guess. But people need to be aware that these things often don't last.
Nike NA0013-100 Review by Design (North Carolina)
I've been using the sensor for about a week now with my iPhone 4S, and while it's worked just fine I was very disappointed to discover that it's absolutely obsolete if you own any of the iPhones that have GPS technology (iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4s). Those devices only require that you download the $1.99 Nike+ iPhone application. Many reviews of that application (actually, most reviews) have stated that it's even more accurate than using the sensor. This includes indoor runs, as well, since the $1.99 app also uses the accelerometer when GPS signals are poor or unavailable.
So for those people using this with iPods or iPhones without GPS, it's been a great product. I only wish Nike was more clear about the fact that its sensors are now completely unnecessary in many cases.
I'd also suggest reading reviews about the Nike+ website before purchasing this. When it works, it's fantastic. Along with the sensor or the iPhone app, it makes running much more stimulating and fun. But the website often fails, certain pages load very slowly, and sometimes not at all.
Nike NA0013-100 Review by A. Volinkaty (NYC)
As other reviewers have noted, this sensor didn't work. It is the second sensor I purchased in order to replace the original sensor. I first bought the Nike + iPod 4 years ago and used the original and one replacement sensor. However, after this experience of throwing away $40 on non-working items, and recognizing how difficult this was to calibrate to my individual stride, I have chosen to upgrade to a GPS trainer.
