New Apple Watch as running watch (Read 221 times)

    Is anyone thinking about using the new Apple Watch as a running watch? If the GPS function is solid, it has the advantage of built-in HR and music.

      I bought mine specifically as a running device. I love it... easy to use, easy to get to and it works great with the Nike+ app.

        Have you figured out a way to get your runs from Nike apple 2 watch into runningahead?

          I am still interested in hearing whether or not you can do this. The Apple Watch is something I'm considering, but it would have to upload to RunningAhead.

            I've got one, but I've yet to make it work for a run properly. User error I'm sure!

              It won't work at all unless you carry your phone with you as well.

              an amazing likeness

                Just an fyi -- with the Series 2 version of the Apple watch, this is no longer the case. It has on board GPS logging.

                      What am I doing wrong? I have series 2 and worked with the Apple Genius bar to set it up, but my watch still won't record distance.
