- Great addition to T6
I have had my foot pod for a little over a month now and have enjoyed it. I have not had any problems connecting it with the T6 (yet!). It IS a little confusing at first to figure out how to calibrate it, but once that is done you never have to do it again. It fits nicely on the shoelaces, but sometimes slips off to the side (it is not as accurate if it is not level and pointing straight ahead), but it has not posed much of a problem for me; however, I am not a "serious" runner, only recreational!

- Very exact
After some adjustments running different distances on a 400 m track I was running 21100m and the difference was 10 meters, nothing actually.

- Good for short distances, but calibration problems were evident during a marathon
At first I was pleased with the foot pod, it is very light and easy to run with. However, when running on a track, I tried to calibrate the unit to a precise 1.0 mile. The setting wouldn't save properly and kept changing to either 1.1 or 0.9 and didn't seem to have systematic reason why. To be safe on my pacing, I set the unit to 0.9 and trained with it for 5-10 miles run satisfactorily for a few weeks.

During a marathon, I tried to keep my pace based on the footpod reading. After mile 10 I realized the footpod wasn't accurately hitting the mile markers. After running the 26.2, the footpod indicated that I ran well over 28 miles. My race results indicated that I ran at a perfectly even pace, despite the fact that, according to the footpod, I increased my pace a half minute per mile over the last six miles. It turned out that the calibration unit was set to 1.0526, a value that I certainly never entered. ... Read More

- Great Product
Purchased the foot pod as part of the Duathlon set for the T6. It's a really great training tool, but you need to understand what you are getting and not get totally caught up in the "accuracy" factor

PROS - much lighter than it looks - really don't notice it on your shoe. Easy to clip on your laces. It works - the ANT transmission is really reliable. It lets you run anywhere and gives you a pretty accurate record of how far and how fast you ran. It's very accurate out of the box and even more accurate after calibration. It's very durable and has good water resistance (I've used it without problem in rain and snow but don't do water aerobics with it). Uploads all the distance and speed info to the T6 on the fly for later download to a PC.

CONS - it measures differently depending on the speed you run, the type of shoes you wear, the grade you are running, the foot you have it on, and the ... Read More
