Quietly — too quietly perhaps since Apple hasn’t update their site yet — Nike’s $79.00 Amp+ Sport Remote Control just made its first appearance on Nike’s online store. That “+” indicates that this device integrates with Apple’s wee iPod nano receiver for Nike+ shoes allowing you to wirelessly track and monitor your runs and personal progress. Yes, it’s a watch too; an LED display shows the time of day with those biggie, iPod icons appearing only when activated by the remote. It’s also water resistant for you Mr. Sweaty McFaty, up to 50-meters in fact just in case your glands react unfavorably to your new Twinkie-free lifestyle. With the Amp+ now shipping, it’s reasonable to expect the other unannounced devices we peeped back in January to go to market as well, donchathink?

The Nike Store has just dropped the Nike Amp+ Sport Remote Control. We brought you news of the range of devices back in January, but it looks like the first line of watches has been released without much ado. The new model, paired with the Nike+ iPod Sport Kit and Nike+ Ready shoes, will allow you to hear instant voice feedback of your time, distance, calorific expenditure and pace.
The watch will also provide playback control functionality for your iPod nano, but if that is not enough to swing you in the direction of the Tokyoflash styled wannabe, perhaps the 50m water resistance, or the ability to function as a standard LCD watch may have you convinced? Either way, the Nike+ Amp is available in black, deep green or gray, retails at a reasonable $79 and is available now. [Product Page]
