  • It is very easy to load the data after each run from the Nike+ SportsWatch and I loved the way it tracks your routes and maps them.Using the watch encouraged me to keep running so I could see my times get better and how far I was running each week and how...

  • We are able to say that the Nike+ SportWatch GPS is a superb gadget. Unfortunately, triathletes will find it's much too simple for their taste and they will turn their attention to Garmin Forerunner 305 model, for example....

  • The first thing you’ll notice about the Nike+ SportsWatch is how great it looks. It’s certainly trendy with a designer edge, compared to the rather nerdy look of other sports watches out there. The strap has a nice shape to it but don’t be fooled by the aesthetics as it’s highly practical as it fits in a USB plug for hooking the watch up to your laptop to download your exercise data. However, it’
  • There isn’t a great deal to complain about here, as the watch works well and responds to user commands with ease. The biggest problem with the Nike+ SportsWatch has to be the price, though. It’s actually quite expensive compared to many other sports watches out there, many of them with far more in the way of features. The Nike+ SportsWatch works with a heart rate monitor if you’d like but sadly y
  • The Nike+ SportsWatch is a neat and highly practical sports training watch that helps you with your training regime by telling you how far and how fast you’ve run. Sure, it’s not the cheapest on the market but we’ve found it to be one of the most attra...

  • Relatively compact for a GPS watch / Sturdy build, Backlit screen, Waterproof, Easy to use, Nike website
  • Price, Screen tapping function is unreliable, QuickStart mode never picks up a GPS signal once you've already started running, Nike website doesn't work well with Internet Explorer or Firefox
  • The Nike+ SportWatch is an excellent running companion. Nike and TomTom have clearly thought long and hard about the user experience and have pulled the whole thing off pretty well. It's not perfect, as several features still need improving, but we thi...

  • Stylish design, builtin USB cable, great to have maps of runs
  • Sometimes takes a while to find GPS signal
  • We really like the Nike+ Sportswatch. It's a stylish device that links up the data you might already be capturing with a Nike+ on your iPod or iPhone. It's great for mapping your runs as well as tracking them. It's not cheap, but dedicated runners will lo...

  • We really like the Nike+ Sportswatch. It’s a stylish device that functions great and links up (and adds to) the data you might already be capturing with a Nike+ on your iPod or iPhone. It’s great to map your runs as well as just track them. It’s not ch...

  • Limited control on watch itself, some Nike+ website features don't work
  • The overall design and simplicity of operation make the Nike+ SportWatch GPS worth the outlay...

  • Abstract:  When the Nike+ Sportswatch GPS was announced at the Consumer Electronics Show 2011 in Las Vegas, it turned a lot of heads. The prospect of TomTom’s GPS smarts and Nike’s user friendly Nike+ fitness credentials coming together in a fitness watch had ...

  • TomTom es de las marcas más reconocidas en cuanto a GPS, así que las rutas serán siempre correctas. El diseño es tan atractivo que incluso puedes usarlo en tu día a día. Es a prueba de agua y se carga por USB
  • Por ser un reloj con tantas funciones, la pila no le dura mucho; si lo usas diario, es probable que tengas que volver a cargarlo a los 34 días. Hay veces en las que, si estás en un lugar con muchos árboles, el GPS no detecta tu ubicación rápidamente
  • Si lo tuyo es correr en la ciudad, en carreras, en parques o prácticamente en cualquier lugar que se te ocurra, este reloj Nike es para ti. No sólo llevas un control de tu desempeño sino que te sumas a la comunidad de corredores para competir contra el...
