Ok, little bit annoyed that this has dropped $30 in price since I bought it a month ago.
Had a few reservations based on other reviews and was considering the Garmin 405 but the Nike watch seemed a bit less bulky so I gave it a shot. running watches with gps


Occasionally it takes a few minutes to find a satellite but most of the time it syncs within 10 seconds. I found that plugging the watch into your computer just before a run helps with the speed of satellite syncing.
As for the map accuracy I'm very impressed. Long road runs through parks and track running have been spot on.

Overall, give this watch a go and especially now that it's priced more competitively against the Garmins.

Would be nice to have the ability to directly import runs into RunKeeper though. There's ways around it but it's a bit of a manual process
