Received my Nike Apple Watch 10/28.
3 runs completed.
The Watch itself is great.
The Nike software is lacking
1. NRC won't recognize my Wahoo HRM. the Watch does, however. Having to use the wrist HRM hogs the battery. Also, you aren't able to place the hr number and by default it's very small in the upper left of the Watch face. On one run I ran with the Wahoo app so i could easily see the number with NRC in the background and when I switched back to nrc it had closed and the run data was gone.
2. Not able to put pace front and center. NRC gives you 3 options. Speed, distance and duration. When you choose speed the Watch screen prompts you to use the app with the phone. It does not do this with distance and duration. So I chose distance and ithe app starts up fine with the distance metric front and center, but the important pace is a tiny blur of a number.
3. The inability to configure the running metrics on the Watch face as I can on my Garmin is a huge disappointment
4. Spoke to a NRC support person today who is aware of the glitches and said Nike is working to improve the app.
5. Etc etc. I could go on, but.....anyway, I'll stick with my trusted Garmin 920 and just partner my runs to Nike because the software on the phone is fun, just not comfortable to run with. The Watch is great but I'll stick with my version zero and send this one back to Apple
