1. The clock itself
The clock itself wears despite their (typical for a Running Watch) Size pleasantly light on the wrist, if you "knock" on the display, the backlight comes on. It is stored on the clock the last races and records. Some reviewers complained about the lack of water resistance, I have been showering with the clock, however, and swim directly after running in the river and there were no problems.
As for the colors, caution: the clock (I have with red) is less black and more dark gray, or perhaps anthracite. When blue is blue not as an "ink / Royal Blue" or "normal" blue but is going in my opinion strongly toward cyan.
2. Tracking and function of the Nike + -Dienstes
Interestingly, the clock is indeed by the ability to record runs. For me it usually takes place in less than one minute an adequate satellite signal is not interrupted even during the run. The tracking feature I am fully satisfied, the clock is very accurate. What has particularly pleased me: Even if the clock of the battery during the run to run out, the run is stored until then and is not lost. The barrels can be synchronized via the built-in USB connector simply a computer with Nike +, the tool it can be installed quickly and is not extensive. For me the clock was + interesting precisely because of Nike, I measure myself here with friends, which gives me a huge incentive, although I otherwise would not even like to go running. Have actually getting the rankings in the Android app or on the website in the eye and see that I ran most kilometers at the end of the month.
3. Comparison with other Nike + options
I have previously been recorded in a different way my legs because it is for me as I have said a good incentive for the sport. Therefore, here the comparison of the clock with other Nike + -products
a) Nike-iPod
Had the first sensor for my iPod nano. Is simply inaccurate. Even after calibration or inaccurate as soon as you give other steps as making the calibration run, can not remember exactly. Although the clock also has the sensor there, but there he is, rather than security, just in case no GPS is (underpass) or intended for the treadmill. And the iPod draws the line on not to represent them as a map
b) Nike + Running iPhone Apps
I found very reliable, I used more than a year. One always has to have precisely the iPhone case, which is not as comfortable as the clock. And with my iPhone battery also went so already fast enough yet. Nevertheless, by the clock my number two.
c) Nike Running Android App
Did I myself not used for tracking, but just look at old runs, but I heard from some people that they would often lose the connection. Whether they had the phone in a thick bag, which has the signal shielded, I do not know. Otherwise, like the iPhone: Clock is convenient, and saves battery power.
