I have been testing the Nike+ Sport Band with varied success.
Pros:
The trendy wristband with clock and digital read out is very user friendly and barely noticeable while running.
Just unplug your wristband piece and pop it into a USB port on your computer and your workout is uploaded to the Nike+ homepage that tracks your mileage.
The cost ($60) is very reasonable.
Cons:
I have had varying success with the accuracy of the band. My first run was horrendous, partly because proper directions were practically nonexistent (think IKEA, only 10 times worse). But, I calibrated it after the first run and it has been almost perfect since. I double check my mileage with mapmyrun.com
Overall, I've been rather pleased with the Nike+ Sport Band. Has anyone else used this or higher end devices such as Garmin?

Re: IKEA - Did you use the bent allen wrench?
I have a Garmin Forerunner 201 that is great. I have had little success with any type of heart rate monitor.
I just bought a Suunto t3c, as suggested in Men's Health. I will soon look, act, perform and speak like David Beckham. The watch seems pretty hand, but I have yet to use it for a daily workout routine. I will keep everyone posted.
