Just wanted to see which people thought was better. Pros/Cons? I don't mind carrying a cell when running but didn't know if the gps was not as good.

    If you are serious about running a GPS watch is better. Actually, if you are looking for a cheap option, the Garmin FR70 with footpod is a great option. It doesn't have GPS but the technology in the footpod allows it to have really accurate distance calculations. I used to run with a phone but after a few runs of having my phone restart in the middle of a long run I just about had it.

    Nike Sportswatch, accurate and of course its convenient to carry around, iPhone/MapMyRun app inaccurate, logged a 9 mile run as 10 miles.
