Marathon training officially started for me Monday. Thk goodness it was only a 3mi. jaunt. I’m not sure that I would have been up for much more. I’m logging the next 17 weeks over here. What’s more, is that I’ll be reviewing the Nike+ SportWatch side by side with the Garmin Forerunner 410. Yes, I will be wearing a GPS device on each wrist 6 days a week for the next 17 weeks. I’m sure that I’m going to get some interesting looks. I should also make it very clear from the get-go that neither Garmin or Nike is giving me any incentive to write this review/comparison. I should also say that everything that I write is going to be my opinion based on my experience with the devices, and there is no scientific methodology involved.
Let’s get started with a few of the things that I really liked about the SportWatch right off the bat. As you might recall from this post, I have become slightly obsessed with Nike Fuel. As I also stated in that post, the Nike+ SportWatch also measures Fuel. I also love the display on the SportWatch. Oversized numbers are boss. I have always been a fan of the Nike+ user dashboard. I like it even better since it was recently redesigned. Checkout the screenshot of the new Nike+ running dashboard below:
Dude so are you going to wear the fuel band still with the 2 watches just for the look? You should wear an Ipad on your back and a blue tooth headphone band. Jokes a side I think its pretty sweet no incentive trial to find out the truth.
@Samuel Adams: Hahahaha. I def love the ipad bluetooth idea. I may have to try that out.
That is a super-cool watch! Me want!
I have the Nike watch and I really like it. It’s easy, simple and gets the job done. The only feature I wish it had was a heart rate monitor. And I agree, the dashboard is boss.
