Nike + sportswatch

Are these any good compared to the Garmins? do you have to have the shoe sensor as well?

Don't have a Garmin but love my Nike+ sportsband!

need a sensor for the shoe - I have a pair of Nikes with the space inside the sole or if i need to use another pair of shoes i just tie it under the laces......

I've been using the Sportwatch since it first came out. I had a Garmin before (405) but found it too complex and geeky. The Nike is far simpler, easier to use and I much prefer the website to Garmin's (where you view your training history etc.).



There's no need for the foot pod, unless you want to run indoors where there is no GPS signal.
