My brief opinion of the new Nike+ GPS Running Watch. More videos to come so check out my uploads. May take: -The watch is BiG. Not heavy, but big. I guess it is a mans world. I would love to see a female friendly version sized for smaller wrists. -On the upside, the display is BiG, easy to read and the buttons are big. -The instructions are pretty sparse but it was pretty easy to figure out. May not for the technically challenged. (But if you were challenge, you should know not to buy a watch with a built-in USB.) -The shoe pod coupled with the GPS seems to be a great feature, especially when the GPS is disabled by heavy cover. -The price point is fair compared to other GPS watches. It meets my needs for time, distance and pacing in an easy to use and read feature. -It does not come with a heart rate monitor, but this feature is available. For me–I just want my heart beating. I dont care how many times. Just beating. : ) -I do not have Nike+ shoes, but cannot even feel the sensor in my shoe, which was a pleasant surprise. -I would luv to see and Android App for Nike+. Please….Pretty Please. -What about water…will rain damage it? -Overall, its just plain cool. Would I recommend it? Hell. Yeah.
