What's the jury on this thing?
Any experience with it? Is it a pedometer and/or
GPS based device?
Worth it?

I thought you were asking about those yellow Lance Armstrong bracelets.
It uses the same in shoe pod as the ipod version. It just is on your wrist without the annoyance of music. You can then plug it into your usb drive and use nike.com to record your runs.
Don't know how well it works, but allows you to measure runs without an ipod.
Completly inaccurate.
Anyone know if you can calibrate it like you could with the ipod?
Yes you can calibrate it. I did a 7 mile run with a demo we got and it was accurate to .1 miles. Not bad for only $60. Better than the $350 for the Garmin 405 (non-HR) (which is still pretty cool...I am demoing it now)
For $60, it's well worth the money.
Yes you can calibrate but then if you run a different speed it's wrong again.

Oh, and for what it's worth, on this mornings run, my Garmin said 7.47 and the Nike band said 7.59. I did not do a calibration.
it calibrates based on stride length, nothing to do with GPS at all..

Actually, it has an accelerometer so it has not much to do with stride length.

Somewhat true, but according to Nike, if you calibrate at a fast pace it will be accurate at slower ones.
I've been using one since it came out and find it quite accurate, after an initial calibration. I occasionally check it against known measured courses and have found it to be a couple hundredths off per mile, as good as most GPS and far cheaper and way less clunky on the wrist - no waiting around to acquire satellite signals, either.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
