Nike is no stranger to the fitness game but its latest collaboration uses a helping hand from TomTom to produce a sports watch with a built-in GPS receiver. The Nike Sportwatch GPS is effortlessly simple and easy to use, though it is a little pricey considering its basic functions.
Before you use the Nike SportWatch GPS for the first time, you’ll need to download the Nike Connect software then plug in the watch to a USB port on your computer. The USB port is nicely integrated into the end of the wrist strap (accessed by flipping open the hinge), while Nike also includes cheap nike air max 2011 a USB cable in the sales package that will charge and synchronise the watch. Annoyingly, upon initial use you’ll need to adjust the time and date through the Nike software on your computer, not on the watch itself. Once you’ve set this up initially, however, you can then adjust the time on the watch.
The Nike SportWatch GPS is dead easy to use and operate. The watch only has three buttons on the left side, two selection keys and a select/menu button. The main menu lets you show the time, start a run, see your history, check records and activate a built-in stopwatch function. You can choose to hear audible sounds when buttons are pressed, while the watch will display a motivational quote upon the completion of a run and will also remind you if you haven’t ran in five days.
Sports watches aren’t the most attractive of devices, but Nike and TomTom do deserve some credit for the design of the SportWatch GPS nike outlet online . Although we initially had concerns about its large looking size, the watch is fairly light, comfortable to wear and doesn’t look too much like an eyesore. The bright yellow accents may not be to everybody’s taste but only the back of the watch, the back of the band and a single button on the left side are coated in this finish — the rest of the watch is a more traditional black.
When not in running mode, the Nike SportWatch GPS displays the time in a large font on the screen, with the nike air max 97 date and a battery indicator shown vertically on the left hand side of the screen. The screen is easy to see outdoors even with the back-light off, while the watch itself is completely waterproof so it can be used in the rain, or even during exercises like swimming or other water sports. We didn’t take the watch swimming but ran it under a tap for over two minutes and it worked without any issues.
Users can tap the screen to mark laps on a run or turn on the screen back-light, but we found this a hit and miss affair — occasionally the watch wouldn’t detect our taps on the screen, so we had to press two or three times for the function to register. When you’re ready to go nike air max 2012 on a run, simply select “run” from the main menu and the Nike SportWatch GPS will search for a GPS signal. Before our initial run it took the watch about two minutes to find and lock onto a GPS signal, but we found this erratic in most instances. It only took around 20 seconds to find a signal on our second run, but over a minute and a half the third time we went for a run. To combat any GPS issues, Nike includes a shoe pod receiver in the sales package that will negate the need to use the built-in GPS if you can’t get a signal. The cheap nike air max shoe pod fits into the insole of a select range of Nike running shoes, but can be attached to most other shoes with an optional, third-party adapter.
