Nike + SportWatch without Sensor

Comments about Nike+ SportWatch Monitors:

Watch seems to have all the right features, but it only manages to sync with the gps satellite about 10% of the time. A friend has the same watch and it does the same thing. Look elsewhere for a reliable gps watch.

The product completely stopped working after 13 months. (1 month out of warranty) Noticed a bit of condensation under the lens and within a week the entire display was gone. Would not display anything.
When the watch worked, it did a good job.

Service and delivery comments:

No problems with delivery or RR Sports end.

Good watch for the price .. this is the first GPS watch that I have used and so far I really like it .. had several friends tell me to go with a garmin but the garmins were way more than I wanted to spend and they looked like they were bulkier .. first time wearing it I ran a 1/2 marathon and accuracy was right on and battery was still showing full .. connected to the satellites quickly (except for once when it was cloudy .. took about 5 minutes to link) .. definitely recommend to anyone looking for a lower cost watch that still performs well and is comfortable .. I already have the sensor that I use with my iPod so there was no need to purchase the watch with one .. but if you plan on running indoors you will need the sensor

The first one never worked. It kept returning to the initial menu without ever activating any step. I returned it. The second one works but consistently takes 1/2 - 3 miles to find the satellites and start working. Very frustrating and inconsistent. I live in Washington State and it seems satellites are pretty hard to find.. I would not recommend it. I use it only for the stopwatch now.
Unable to set the time as well.

After years of using a Garmin (most recently the 210 - which I broke the crystal on), I purchased this watch. I really like the large read outs and how QUICKLY it syncs with the satellites. Connecting with the Nike Connect + site is a great, if simple, way to track your miles.

I have been disappointed by the fact that it won't sync with a general Polar HR transmitter belt. You must purchase a special Polar HR strap that is specific to this watch - an added $70 expense I didn't anticipate.

I held off buying a GPS watch because the dang things were so big and bulkie, after trying on this watch I was amazed, this thing is so comfortable and light I don't even notice it. I found it to be very reliable and accurate, I have compared it to Map my run and driven routes in my car and everytime been within a couple 100ths of a mile. The Website is very easy to use and they break everything down in a logical way that makes for easy feedback for your run. If you are in the market for a GPS watch you need to give this seriuous consideration. Way to go Nike, this is a real home run!!!

I was disappointed with this watch. However, I will start with the pros. The numbers on the watch are extremely easy to see while running and the touch screen black light is nice after many miles. Besidest those two things, the watch is quite heavy although fashionable. Also, the watch is COMPLETELY UNRELIABLE. There were times I stood for over 5-10 minutes waiting for the "satellites" (on beautiful clear days). The last straw was when the gps didn't connect until 1.2 miles into a very important race. The watch told me I was running 7:43's for 13.1 miles however I was really running 8:05's. This is a big difference for an avid runner looking to PR. After my inconsistent pace times and waiting for 20-25 minutes for the GPS to connect, I returned this watch after only a month. For an avid runner, the Garmin Forerunner 110 is comparable in price, much lighter and miles more accurate and reliable. Also, the online function of the Garmin is much more specific than the nike. It breaks down miles into splits and offers many more ways to track your progress, as well as specific routes.

If you are a recreational runner who is not concerned with pace or consistency this watch might work for you. Otherwise, stick to the Garmin; They know GPS like no other.

I am a lifter and a recreational runner.Run about 10 to 12 miles a week. Got this Nike+ Gps Watch today. Ran a route that I knew was 3 miles. The watch distance was correct. I like how I can look at current and average pace when I am running. The watch is not big or bulky and I hope it last a long time. The Nike+ website is also a nice place to store and look at your runs. I thought it was user friendly. Hope this review helps because I read alot of them before I went with the Nke+ Gps Watch. For the money, it's a good deal.

The Best GPS watch so far, very easy to use and excellent software to manage your runs. The display is super, large and bright so is easy to see even in the dark. As of today I will NOT run without it. The GPS conmects very quickly and accuracy is excellent.

I like this for daily wear, but it gives me the speed and distance basics I need for running 4 times a week.
