If it wasnt included it would've been a bit expensive imho. The footpod is easily attached to my Saucony's. My girlfriend has the Nike+ with an Ipod so i tested it. Thanks.

When you consider how long a standard watch battery lasts, I would expect the band to last as a watch (as long as buttons are not constantly pushed) for a very long time. I took it for a small run yesterday (still recovering from London and being made into the filling of a man sandwich at mile 13) and another today. It works very well although a little depressing as I thought that I was running like a train - then I found I wasn't! Ho hum, I do like it though. BB Yes I think that is true.

There must be very little battery drain involved in using the sportband in watch mode though and 14 hrs of running is quite a lot. Ah yes, I spotted that as well.

Average usage should allow for up 14 hours of recording time, before you need to recharge it."

I will look again now. I thought I read that it will record a run for 14 hours before needing to charge, mind you it was late last night and I may very well have got that bit wrong!

I went out for a run this morning so now it is getting a bit of a top up while the data uploads. I see no reason why it wouldn't keep going for at least a month between charges though if necessary. Not sure what you mean about the 14hrs bit, what does that refer to? I am using it as a normal watch and it has shown no signs of requiring a charge between runs.

I just want to know if I can rely on it as a watch - I hate having to change watches around. When I want to run I just want to run not hunt about for stuff.
