My initial look at the Nike app on the watch was underwelming and the suggested bridging app to get the recorded trail into Strava did a less than stellar job. Since then I've had some advice on how to configure RunGap properly so have decided to give it a revisit and I'm much happier.
Today for example I've been out for 2 hours and it's all worked great. The Nike app recorded the run properly, auto-pause seemed to work well and it's all uploaded to Strava properly. (Tip: if you use RunGap ensure it's exporting the Nike data, rather than the workouts data or you won't export a GPS trail) It's now 5pm, have had 2 hours of GPS on the watch, plus the other stuff it does) and it's at 52% battery which is pretty good too.
The Nike app on the phone is still flaky. The import from the watch seems slow and comes down in bits so for a while you're wondering why there's no GPS trail or HR data, but it turns up in it's own sweet time. Once that's there then you can use RunGap to export it.
All in all, much happier than I was first time around.
