As someone who runs occasionally and only trains seriously when I deign to sign up for a race, the Apple Watch Nike+ is perfect. The best parts of the watch are:
- Built-in GPS: Never worry again about bringing your phone to accurately track your run.
- A more breathable band: Unlike the regular Apple Watch band, the Nike+ one includes little holes that make it more adjustable and easier for your skin to breathe.
- A better running experience: Going for a run? Just tap the swoosh and you're set to go in three seconds. You can also set reminders on the watch so that you run consistently — but these can be easily turned off as well.
- The watch will motivate you: In addition to the running reminders, you can also sync the watch to the Nike+ running app and try to match runs from your friends. Or send them your run from the day and see if they can do it as well. It's a much friendlier version of something like Strava. This feature is purposeful and aligns with Nike's mission. "We just want everyone to run," said Stefan Olander, vice president of digital sport at Nike. And it's totally true with the watch — it's a not stressful and doesn't run shame you.
