Is this compatible with an itouch 5? If so, can you use your itouch 5 while running to see your distance ran like a pedometer?

Hola.El modelo que utilizo es compatible solamente con pc y con teléfonos con sistemas operativos basados en android o Microsoft Windows pero si existe un modelo idéntico pero con conexión para mac, iphone, y si registra todo, la distancia recorrida, velocidad, calorías quemadas, me siento muy satisfecho hasta el momento con el speed cell, lo unico que no registra es el ritmo cardíaco.

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

You still have to use the controls in your iTouch. That's how it works in my car and I have a Rouge. I hope that helps.

Agree with Sean. You would only be able to use the heart rate monitor functions of this watch. Polar sells a version of this watch with GPS accessory instead of foot pod but I have not heard good things about it. Polar's newer GPS devices are much more useful but not compatible with this watch. Only buy the foot pod if you plan on running only.

I am unsure if this will fit an iTouch, I would Google "Are iPhone 5c cases compatible for iTouchs" or something close in that nature. Hope that helps!

I have a second generation iTouch and it works, but I know it won't work with an iPhone 5 or later.

I just got the Vivofit this week and mine does allow you to adjust the stride length on Garmin Connect. It was pretty easy to do and transferred to my Vivofit the next time I sync'd with my tablet. I don't know if this is a new feature or not. Yes, it does now give the step count and distance.

I've used the first generation Nike SDM unit(which is an accelerometer) with much success over streets, trails, and races. Over a marathon it was within 10 feet over the entire distance. So I plan to check this out, first without purchasing the shoes and just strapping the accelerometer to my shoe. Once calibrated, I expect it to behave the same as my SDM. Once you have a nano it is a pretty inexpensive running tool. I picked up a 1gb nano brand new on craigslist (sf) for $100. I will purchase one tomorrow and try it out over the weekend.

Have you checked called Apple to see if the IOS on an iTouch2 supports this device? I researched online to see which ones would work well with my iPad2, then purchased it here.

Outside your Forerunner will use the GPS and give you actual speeds and distances. Inside if you're on a treadmill or if you are on an inside track and your watch can't get a GPS signal, the foot pod will estimate your distance and speed pretty accurately. I'm not sure exactly how the algorithm that it uses calculates it but it uses cadence information that it gets from the accelerometer of the foot pod and your stride length to do the estimates. I think that I read that the more that you run/walk using the GPS and foot pod, the more accurate it gets.

If the itouch 5 is the same size as the itouch 4, it should fit. You will have to do a one on top of the other comparison. Don't just leave it to chance! I hope it fits, my daughter loves her a TON.

It appears that it is compatible with the Speed/Cadence sensor. I found the information at https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/into-sports/discontinued/forerunner-50/prod10527.html please verify on there before you place any orders. Click on the "specs" tab and it'll state that it is compatible under the "features and benefits" section. Best of luck to you!

Hi, If you have an Ipod Nano you can try the very cheap, in comparison with GPS, Nike+ Sportkit. Once you calibrate it, it is very accurate. All my runs (same route) about 8km only vary on +/- 100m. Hope that helps a little bit.

I'm not sure. You may only have to connect to the game once to use it as a pedometer though. I haven't tried just using one of my empty ones as a plain pedometer though.

It works using Bluetooth. I don't have an iTouch but i assume it has bluetooth and should work fine with Sphero.

Can you use the voice recording features of iTouch with this adapter? I'd like good stereo sound, but I'd also like to be able to record voice notes using Jott or whatever.Thanks
