I am using this with the recently-released Nike Sportwatch+ GPS, and it works great. The sensor seems very responsive and was easy to set up.On the watch, I had to: - Start a run - Choose Options --> New SensorThe watch found the heart rate monitor almost immediately and worked flawlessly from then on.If you have two or more nike+ systems and you are trying to set them up, you may get a "too many sensors" message from the watch, and may need to distance the woud-be pairs of watches and monitors from one another while pairing. However, once paired, the watches will talk to their respective sensors without any evidence of interference. I believe this is because these sensors are "coded" to prevent cross-talk between nearby transmitters and receivers.The strap is reasonably comfortable and I'm getting used to it quickly. Parts of it are a relatively comfortable elastic, and other parts of it are a vinyl-like material that seems almost like fake leather, which seemed like an odd texture to wear while running, but it certainly hasn't been an issue for me.It's great to know that I can swap the transmitter onto new / different straps if needed, and that my girlfriend can use her transmitter directly with one of the sensor-equipped sports bras that works with Polar transmitters. The replaceable battery is also a huge plus, as I can't imagine throwing this thing away just because the battery died!It is important to pre-moisten the electrodes on the included strap, or readings will be sporadic (dropping to 0) intermittently until you get sweaty.

I have an IPOD nano 6th generation with Nike+ enabled. With the addition of the Polar WearLink+ I was able to get my heart rate during my running exercise. Works great! Easy to link to the nano.

I got this to use with my iPod nano 6G (FW 1.2) and the Nike+ sports kit. I've been nursing a leg injury that prevents me from running/jogging, so I wanted something to record workouts on an elliptical machine (our gym doesn't have the Nike+iPod machines).The HR strap pairs easily with the Nike+ receiver. Once you start a HR workout, you're presented with a bunch of excercise types. The iPod records your average and max HR during the workout and uses a simple formula to calculate your calories (note - calories do not show up on the nano, you see them after uploading to Nike+).As for the strap itself, it's moderately comfortable. I have a Polar T31 that came with my treadmill and I find that to be more comfortable as well as easier to put on. The transmitter is a lot smaller than I expected ... not nearly as big as it looks in the pictures. The good thing is that the strap is washable, so if/when it starts to get funky, just throw it in the wash (the manual says to put it in a garment washing bag).Lastly, I wanted to mention that I had a tough time getting the HR-only workouts to sync to the Nike+ sites. I eventually got it to work, but it took some iPod hackery and a few back/forth with the Nike+ support guys.ft
