I was going to go with a Garmin, until Nike came out with this model that looks a lot sleeker. I'm a sucker for good packaging and style.

Trying to see if anyone has one, reviews, etc. Love to hear from you guys!

    I went from a fore runner 405 to the Nike+ with my new nano. The day after I got this I saw that yellow and black watch and so wanted it. Sigh....

    I also would like to hear about this watch if any MFP's have used it! :bigsmile:

    I have the Nike+ Sportswatch and I love it!! It's super simple and easy to use. I love that it keeps a history of my runs. I went to this after using the sportband, which wasnt super accurate, but totally good for a beginner runner, but as I advanced in my running, I needed something more accurate.

    I am glad I went with this instead of the Garmin...although my friends who have them love them!!! The Nike is a little smaller, although a little big on a small wrist but it fits fine. I like the coloring. I can set it up to do intervals or mark my laps. I can pause in middle of a run...say waiting at a light. LOL

    I know not a great review...but I dont think too many people have it yet. I paid $215 with tax on the nike website and as of right now, I would do it again.

    I think that's all very helpful info. I saw some reviews that said the GPS was sketchy, but they were from the UK so I was unsure. I live in a major metropolitan area, and can't imagine the GPS is bad here. What is your experience?

    I have yet to have problems with the accuracy. It comes with the shoe sensor to wear as a back for those times of limited reception. I do trail running but havent used it on the trails yet or I should say, not very covered trails.

    I live in Rockford Il and most recently used it on a relay run from Madison to Chicago and Ive used it running with my friend and her Garmin and we were the same in distance.

    I am very happy with my choice.
