Review on πŸƒ Nike+ Sport Watch GPS Powered by TomTom: Sleek Black/Red Design for Enhanced Performance by Megan Holtz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Extremely accurate GPS, I have no problem with fogging

I was hesitant to buy this watch because of all the reviews of the watch fogging up when routing. I sit and work in very warm conditions and this watch showed no signs of fogging. I run 4-6 miles 3 times a week and then shower with the watch on and it works great. I love how customizable the screen is and how large the numbers make it very easy to read while running. There are a few downsides when it comes to functionality. I've used Garmin Friends before (not sure which model but it wasn't the most expensive model, only $80) and the Garmin showed your distance, elapsed time and current speed on the same screen. Nike only displays two stats at a time. You get your favorite stats in big numbers and smaller stats in small numbers at the top. You have to manually sift to get different numbers while running. Also, I'm not a big fan of "touch" light. Nike says it's not touchscreen, but you have to touch the screen for the backlight to light up. Sometimes the "touch" is grumpy and you have to touch it multiple times for it to happen. If you are looking for a great watch to track your runs I would highly recommend this watch. If you are looking for a functional everyday watch, I recommend looking at other options. I still wear my Pathfinder every day. Nike is great for running, but the everyday time function doesn't show seconds and the date is hard to read just by glancing. The watch has a stopwatch, you just have to scroll through the watch settings to get there. It's not as easy as pressing "mode" two or three times as it is on Casio. Again, I love running watches, but for everyday use I prefer the Casio.

Pros
  • Working GPS units
Cons
  • Slightly dented
