Does anyone have the Nike+ sportband?

I've been eyeing them up b/c I'd really like to be able to see my pace while running, but the gps watches (like Garmin) are just too big for my wrist.  This seems like a potentially good solution.

Edit: btw, I do not own an ipod.

I tried one for a while.  I really liked that it showed me my pace, but it wasn't overly accurate.  It was okay for training, but when it came time for a race, I kept my pace a little under my goal pace (knowing that it always said I was going faster/farther than I actually was), only to miss my goal by 30 seconds.

I don't have an ipod either, so I used the Sportband.  Overall, it was really just another gadget to have...I still came home and mapped out my route to find my actual distance and pace.  If you keep calibrating it, it may get a little closer, but I was off anywhere from 10-50 seconds per km.
