    Best bluetooth headset to use while running with Apple Watch

    I may have toxic sweat or something but I went through 4 pairs of the X2. The last set actually had a brown substance come out of them (I'm assuming sweat got into the battery). Customer support has been really good as they've replaced them each time. This past time they actually changed me over...

    What running app do you use? Why?

    Updating my thoughts here: don't follow my instructions. I went for a run today on a route that I know is 4.3 miles. I was running harder than normal and my miles were all off. With the Motion and Tracking turned off, I think it doesn't allow the GPS to actually calculate the distance it will...

    What running app do you use? Why?

    My understanding is that is correlates the watch's movement with the GPS. With this off, neither the watch nor the phone itself will continue to try to keep the calibration updated whether walking or running. Unrelated question for people using the Nike app: It seems that every time I start...

    What running app do you use? Why?

    I ran an experiment similar to this. I reset the calibration on the Watch and then I went for a run that averaged right at the 8:00 mark (4.01 miles in 32:08). Then I turned off calibration (privacy->location services->System Services->motion calibration & distance). My hypothesis here was that...

    What running app do you use? Why?

    I've been running on a treadmill with various devices for quite some time with multiple devices so I'm well aware of the challenges. With the MS Band, it pretty much always took the average pace of my last run regardless of what the treadmill showed. For example, if my last outdoor run was 7:45...

    What running app do you use? Why?

    Well that's disappointing. I assume in the closed Apple ecosystem, there's no way to manually change that eh?

    What running app do you use? Why?

    I ran on the treadmill this morning. Same post run information is available (good). Same complaints about the split notification. In fact, it was actually worse because of the noise of the treadmill. I never did catch my mile splits. The other issue is calibration. It was a full 30 seconds per...

    What running app do you use? Why?

    I have now gone on a couple of outdoor runs using the Nike+ app. Generally, I think it's OK and it does the job. Definitely not perfect though. The good: * Accuracy is what I expected. * Post run information was solid - splits, heart rate, etc. The not so good: * Splits during the run are...

    What running app do you use? Why?

    I'm new to the Watch coming from the Microsoft Band and I'll be going for my first run today. I'm going to start with Nike+ app so we'll see how that goes. Seeing some of the reviews/feedback on RunKeeper, I was going to go with that, but the fact that you can't do a treadmill workout was more...

    (Updated] The Runkeeper app is AWESOME!

    Re: updated RunKepper app is AWESOME New Watch owner here and I'm thinking that Runkeeper is the way to go so far (I'll admit to limited research). How do you tell runkeeper that you're on a treadmill?
