Does the WearLink+ transmitter work well with the NIKE + watch?. Thanks in advance.

Sorry, I have no idea. Call polar...you'll be on hold for forever but once you get someone they're very knowledgeable. ~n

I'm not sure, it paired with my Forerunner 610 watch. I just checked the Garmin website and it shows it as a compatible accessory to the Vivofit so I'd assume it would. See link below and select "compatible devices" tab, Vivofit is list at the bottom.https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/shop-by-accessories/fitness-sensors/soft-strap-premium-heart-rate-monitor/prod15490_010-10997-07.html

I believe this "Wearlink" was replaced by the Soft strap. The picture on Amazon is wrong. When I ordered this one I received the soft strap. I called Polar and they told me it was the replacement for the "Wearlink" strap they no longer carry. I purchased it to use with my Garmin transmitter as the Garmin strap is terrible. Not sure what the "Smart" strap is. I checked Polar and when I look up "Smart strap" I get the soft strap. I can wash the soft strap and do about every 7 to 10 uses (just take the transmitter off :-) ). It keeps it smelling fresh and consistently providing accurate readings. If you don't wash them not only do they start to smell bad but it can also affect its operation due to the by products in your sweat. My soft strap works great. I purchased a second one and transmitter so I can leave it at work in case I forget mine at home. Hope this helps.

It does work with the Nike I pod app. I bought this device for my boyfriend who has an IPhone 5. You do need specific Nike running shows. Yes. It does track walking.

It does, the watch by itself will help you track distance as a GPS would, but any other information you need this sensor, it will help you track HR and calories burned, if you want an all day long monitor, you need the Nike Fuel band, though it is not as accurate as the Sportswatch+ the HR monitor.

Not automatically. The TomTom MySports Connect software that handles syncing for this watch allows you to upload to sites like RunKeeper and MapMyFitness automatically, for everything else, it also exports files for manual uploading. In particular, it exports the Garmin TCX file format which is somewhat universal. The real problem is that Nike+ is pretty much a closed system and doesn't allow you to upload activities from other devices - if you search around, though, you'll find that someone hacked up a web application that allows you to upload a Garmin TCX file into Nike+ - I have no idea if it works or how long Nike will let it work, but it seems like it's possible. Fundamentally, the problem is Nike+, not the watch. You can sync the watch with almost every other running app/site out there.

This watch would be great for a race walker - if it worked all the time - as I said in my updated review - it only works about 20% of the time. Most of the time you lose your workout data - I don't know if it is because you lose the satelite link or what.

I think this would work with a nike plus app regardless of if it's on an ipod/iphone. However just so you know, this is a product that has to be worn in a specific kind of running shoe. Look for the Nike symbol on the bottom of the shoe. It slides in underneath the inside liner. It only works with running or walking. It doesn't do me any good if I'm in the gym on an elyptical machine or bike, or stair climber.

It works with both generations of iPod nanos. More at: http://podophile.com/nike-ipod-faq/

Sure does. As I mentioned, I use it with my iPhone and the pre installed Nike app. Like a charm.

Yes, Grammy, Macs work fine with a free download of a very nice app called Argus. This tracks most things either due to the watch being on you or other information you give it. Print out the manual and read it carefully to get the best benefit. My wife and I like them better than some other similar efforts, because you've got the current time on you always, and you can see how much you slept last night, distance in miles (or km) traveled today, calories you have burned today, and your total number of steps. All this info is daily shared with Argus on your computer, Ipad, or Iphone, via bluetooth syncing. Playing tennis a lot this summer, I could start the Argus "tennis tracker," keep it in my pocket for three hours, and see just how far I'd traveled and calories burned. It can all be quickly charted. I know of no other device which gives you so much immediate feedback. Good luck in all your movement -- use it or lose it! Do not take it into the water or shower with you, because it's water protection is scant at best, as I saw when I changed my battery this month after having it for 9 months. Enjoy, Kevin Wulff, Cincinnati.

It works fine as long as you have the Nike+ app, it will connect to the sensor

I purchased my Nike Sportswatch at a pawn shop and the USB connection cord was missing. IT works perfectly. You can also plus your watch directly into your USB connection on your system and it will charge just as well as transfer the data.

Hello Bruce, I had the Nike+ Sportswatch GPS and needed a HRM to go with it. I just checked the Product Description here on Amazon and found the following:"Polar WearLink+ transmitter Nike+ picks up your heart's signals and transfers that data into the Nike+ system. The soft fabric chest strap seamlessly adapts to your body shape, bringing full freedom of movement to your training. With its hook mechanism, transmitter is just as quick to put on as it is to take off.Transfers heart rate information while swimming with products which support 5kHz transmission** FT1, FT2, FT4, FT7, FT40, FT60, FT80, RS100, RS300X, RS400, RCX5, CS100, CS200, CS300"so I guess it does work with the CS300 Hello Bruce, I had the Nike+ Sportswatch GPS and needed a HRM to go with it.

I don't know if they sell just the strap but don't believe there is any real special "link" between the strap and the specific watch. I replaced my watch with a different Pyle model and the strap works with the new watch. It also works with my lifecycle bike which picks up my heart rate from the strap.

You have to use the Nike "Running" app rather than the Nike +iPod app.Hope this helps!

No, it's not compatible with the Nike+ GPS app which is one annoying drawback. Only works with the GPS watch.
