Running With the Apple Watch

It’s time for more hairy wrist pictures! A quick comparison of the Apple Watch to my Nike+ SportWatch GPS for running.

Good:

• Light and accurate when paired with phone
• Milestone beeps and taps are clear, and distinct
• Pair with running apps, music, etc on iPhone

Bad:

• Unable to customise watch display to show only stats I want.
• No intervals, etc.

Ugly:

• Hard to read in direct sunlight
• Must carry phone if I want it to be accurate or use GPS
• Very hard to take a quick read outside without stopping

Verdict:

Undecided if I will use the Apple watch for running. I may just keep using the Nike+ watch for the time being.
