Nike plus sportband???

[anniet]

Hi All -

I've been wondering if anyone is using the Nike plus sportband. I'm just getting back into walking consistently and I'm considering using this technology to try to train for some short races and wondering if I should just get the sportband or upgrade my Ipod shuffle to a nano or touch?

Anyone using any of these?

Any help/thoughts are appreciated! Thanks!

The Nike+ is ok. Just ok. I don't find it very accurate, but will measure steps and at least get you out there.

I would recommend a Garmin to track your miles and pace, but you can only use it outdoors. I have a 205 and love love love it! I don't know the price range you are looking to use, but I just checked amazon and they have 205 listed at 121.00. If you look around you may even get it cheaper.

Good luck with your moving about no matter what you choose to use.

I use the Nike + sportband and it does get a little off. I want a Garmin but haven't been willing to fork over the $$ yet.

Thanks for the replies!

Lily- THANKYOU! I wasn't up on what Garmin has, so I'm investigating that now. I do see Garmin has an optional footpad that can track indoors too...Been off of WISH and dropped out of fitness for so long - went back to finish my Bachelors Degree and graduated in May so it's time.

Thanks for the info! I hope to be back here more often.
