    I had one for myself and I loved it, had to get one for my boyfriend. I really like how it links to the app to my phone, once I upload my runs into my computer.

    Great running watch

    I like this running watch. This watch will require you to start a run by either syncing with a Nike+ shoe pod or able to receive a GPS signal or both to start your run. The watch will show you a couple of helpful screens (time/pace). After your run you can connect it to a PC/laptop and sync your runs with Nike.com. It'll give you your distance, time and altitude of your run. Nike.com will also tell you when you slowed down or "hit the wall" during your run. Battery time has been pretty good after a few weeks of use. It lasted a week on one charge for me. I only wish it had a heart rate monitor to go with it.

    Great watch, does exactly what I need it to do. GPS works well, no issues to report. Battery life is good, I have used it for several runs and marathons.

    Bought this for my son who is an 8th grader and just getting started in competitive distance running. His coach recommended that he start timing his runs and keeping a runner's log. We do not have the matching step tracker fob thing yet, but maybe soon. The watch is built well, but maybe a little large/clunky for a 14-year-old. Other than that, it seems to be of good quality and fairly user-friendly. I know the tech is a few years old, but it's probably more than he needs anyway. He loves it.

    I have had 4 of these watches. I bought my original from Nike and after 6 months it had died from cracks near the USB plug. The replacement watch was DOA. The next replacement worked for a year before dying from water getting into it. Finally I bought this new watch from Best Buy. So far it has been great. Other than it's questionable reliability this watch is excellent. As long as I sync it shortly before I run it picks up the satellites within seconds and is very accurate the entire run. It is much smaller than other GPS watches I have seen, and I use it as a regular watch most of the time. The battery life is very good and will last a long time as long as you don't leave it in your bag during travel. Because the watch light is easily turned on by a tap then it will be on the entire journey. It plugs in easily to the computer and auto syncs to a very good and refined NikePlus website. I have put up with the reliability issues only because this watch is so good for running and obstacle course racing and Nike really stands behind it's product.

    This was a gift for my wife for Christmas, and I agree with other reviewers (from all around the interwebs) which said you have to really spend time making sure this is set up properly. She loves the features of it and it is lightweight. However, she is pretty petite and this is a larger watch than some others like the Garmin, and she doesn't have the tracking sensor for her shoes to go with it, but overall she's happy with it.

    I have used this watch quite a bit since purchasing and the GPS seems accurate for my area. I never have much of a problem connecting to satellites either. It is pretty comfortable to wear and run in. My two complaints are that 1) the watch has to be hit in the right spot for the backlight to come on. This is actually not that big of a deal since once you learn where that area is, it is no longer an issue. 2) The watch will only upload data to the Nike+ website. I use Runkeeper so there is an extra step to upload my runs to Runkeeper. I am not a fan of the Nike+ website but for some, this may not be a complaint at all. It is possible to get the runs to the Runkeeper website, just a little more time is needed. Overall, I really like the watch and would definitely recommended it to anyway looking for a GPS watch.

    This watch is definitely great to keep track of your progress in running with the online account that keeps track. I do wish there was a way however, for this watch to time me without connecting to a gps signal or shoe sensor. My gym has an indoor track i frequently use and does not time indoors. Overall a great product though!

    Previously when this watch sold for upwards of $200, I was hesitant to purchase, but at $130, it was perfect. It's a little bulky, but light and durable. It does the job you would expect, and nothing more. With all of the smart watches that do the same, but with more features, this is a decent deal for the price.

    Nike+ Sports Watch is a great product. The large watch face makes it easier to read the screen while running. I like how I am given the option of choosing what is displayed on the screen (distance, time, or pace). It's also lightweight and fits just right on my wrist.

    When I originally purchased the watch it synched with the satellites quickly and easily uploaded to the website. As time has passed there have been days when I could not get the watch to link with the satellite and/or upload my run. Watch may be more dependable with shoe device. I can normally correct the upload issue by deleting and reinstalling the NIKE + software. However, I have yet to find a way to correct the issues I have with the watch linking with the satellite. This is not a common issue but still very aggravating when it does happen. For the price this is a decent purchase.

    I love how many things it can track while running. I mostly look at my pace and distance, but there are so many other features that I dont even take advantage of. I do wish I could have more than one watch upload separately to one computer.

    For a solid GPS watch strictly for runs, this is perfect. I'd recommend using it along with a Nike+ sensor for the best accuracy, even outdoors in cases where signal strength is weak.

    This is my first watch but does a great job of tracking. I use the shoe pod (buy the sleeves that they sell) to make tracking my mileage easy. But for the price very nice and doesn't look like I have a satellite on my wrist.

    For the price and the features I really like this gps watch. On the watch itself you can see the distance, total time, lap time, calories, pace, etc. After you plug it in to your computer you can see your route and any speed and elevation changes that you encounter. After looking at other gps watches that were around this price I chose it because of the 8 hour battery life with the gps turned on. All the others were at around 5 hours.

    I bought this for my husband because he said he wanted a new sports watch. This may have been a little more than what he was looking for, but he really likes it and wears it all the time. He even had it on in the hot tub this past weekend. He hasn't been running since I purchased it, so he hasn't been able to test the GPS against his Nike App. I will say I wasn't impressed with the material for the price. I think it could look a little better. I wish there was a heart rate monitor included.

    I got this watch for Xmas because it would help me track my runs. The watch feels very nice and the adjustable strap ensures a nice firm fit to reduce any movement while running. There are a lot of options to help track and improve your running and measure your progress. Overall I really like the watch and find it very useful. My only gripe and reason for not giving it five stars is the length if time it takes to connect to the GPS! If you plan on strapping on the watch and going for a run, forget about it!!! It has taken as much as 10 minutes for my watch to connect! This really isn't productive when you want to go for a run because now your waiting around for a connection. Frustrating!!!
