How does the Nike+ sensor work?
I have the iPhone app and Nike running shoes that are Nike+ compatible, but I don't have the actual sensor. I'm planning to buy it, but just wondering how it works? Do I clip it to the shoe?
If you have the Nike+ shoes, there's a slot in the sole of the left shoe for the sensor. If you don't have Nike+ shoes, you can buy a pouch for the laces and the sensor goes in that.
If the app uses your phone's GPS though, I don't expect you'd even need the sensor.
- Why won't my Nike + shoes calibrate to my iPhone 4s? Do I need a receiver or something? It told me to walk around to activate the sensor but i walked around for a good 15 minutes and it didn't calibrate… Am i doing something wrong or is there another gadget i need?
- Nike+ Running App on the iPhone 4 (problem)? I have a Nike account and I signed in all right. I got to the screen that says "Run Setup" and I set it up as a Basic run with no music and no 'cheers'. But when I tap Begin Run nothing happens. The screen just stays as it was before and no matter how many times I press the button nothing will happen. For any clarification, I'm using an iPhone 4.
- Nike and iPhone shoes/sensor? I heard about getting a certain pair of Nike shoes and you can sync them with your iPhone or something. Well I want to look into this, I have an iPhone 4S if that matters. But ABOUT how much do these shoes cost? Does the sensor thing come with it or bought separately? If so, how much is the sensor? Where can I buy these shoes and/or sensor?
- Is there any reason to get the Nike + sensor if I have an iPhone? I recently purchased a pair of Nike running shoes that have a spot for the Nike + sensor and I've always just used the Nike running app on my iPhone when I run so is there anything the sensor could do that the app couldn't? I figured probably better tracking of elevation (I run in a really hilly area), but other than that I wasn't sure if it was worth looking into.
