Nike + iPhone 3GS works... but why not the Nike watch remote??

Are you sure? There is a spot in the setting to pair the remote.

noooo, that remote option is for your cell phone to mimick your tv remote in case you lose it. lol. 🙂

I want that. I expect it to be in the App Store by the end of the week.

it isn't in the app store scroll to the bottom of setting and then click on it. you will be able to access t there. however only on the iphone 3GS.

Same issue here. I manage to successfully pair the two, but there are no controls on the watch that work the iPod function. Any new findings?

I've heard off and on that it only works if you are ACTUALLY doing a workout... I'm checking no as I've wanted one of these watches since they came out....

Thats right - the remote only works when working out with NIKE+

Confirmed. The Nike remote watch does work with the iPhone 3GS, but only while performing a workout with Nike+. I could only get it to work with wired headphones. I could not get it to work with my Motorola S9-HD wireless headhphones. I'm thinking it's somehow related to the controls.

It looks like this "Nike" stuff is getting a little on the "anal" side. Hey, if you're training for the Olympics, that's one thing, but just to be scoring the latest workout on your IP seems a little much. Before the IP, people worked out and here's a news flash, people still work out without "Niking" their IPs.

When I'm jogging or working up a sweat, I sometimes times have my IP in a ziplock bag to prevent sweat from attacking my IP, but come on people, you don't have to register every little muscle spasm in your trusty IP. Lighten up a bit.

Can anyone else confirm this? Does the nike+ remote only work when using wired earbuds? I have ordered the remote and am expecting it any day. I was really hoping to use it with my s9-hd. Why can't this work. It's really a pain to have to reach around your arm to turn the phone on and advance a track while trying to run. Now, if apple wants to add track control to bluetooth, then maybe...

While I haven't tested the Motorola S9 headphones with the remote watch yet, I have noticed some erratic behavior with the wired headphones. While working out, the iPhone would randomly going into "pausing workout", then almost immediately go into "resuming workout". It would do this about 10x, until I had to remove the iPhone from my pocket, unlock it, then put it back to sleep. The workout would be OK for several minutes, then it would do it again. I had thought perhaps it was the Shake to Shuffle feature, but after turning it off, it still does it.
Unfortunately, having this disembodied voice saying to me "pausing workout...resuming workout" is way to distracting. Please post any solutions to this if anyone has experienced the same issue.

received the nike+ remote today and i was able to pair it to the iphone 3gs and then pair with my s9-hd headphones for track control, voice feedback and power song, but i only tried it for a few minutes. i will try to run with it in the next few days and will report back whether the connection holds up for more than just a few minutes.

Both the Motorola S9 and the Remote Amp watch do work simultaneously. The only limitation put on the watch when both are paired is the volume control (the headphones take over this function). But you are able to skip/scan tracks, check your workout status with Nike+ voice/over and initiate the power song. The only other thing I noticed is when both are paired (headphones/watch) and are being used, there is a considerable delay when skipping tracks via the watch control. Eventually it does skip the track, but only after about 4-6 seconds. There isn't a lag when using wired headphones. Hope this info helps.

I just bought the new Nike+ watch model but can't get my 3gs to recognize it. I've tried both sensor and remote. Any suggestions?
