nikearm.gifSick of syncing up you Ipod and Nike shoe or just want to run in peace and quiet, but still want to keep track of your running data; the Nike Sport band may be your answer. It will track your distance, pace, time and calories burned while on you run. It has a removable chip that stores up to 16 hours of running info on it. Then you can link it all up to your computer via USB, log into your nikeplus.com account you set you goals and track your progress. Double the fun by using the sports band as a watch when its not recording.

I sas skip this product if you already have your ipod linking up with your Nike shoes and storing all your data. If you need a new watch though and don’t jog with and Ipod this could be a pretty good solution.
