Birthday blingage

[Dunder2004]

A Nike+ from my very thoughtful daughter.

Of course, I already have a (well used) Garmin, so I have a dilemma. The reviews I have read about the Nike are not so great but I have to say, it does look good compared to the clunky old (and huge) Forerunner 205.

Wear them both, you might run twice as fast.

Choices choices

Did a good job with your daughter though !!!!

Enjoy

[Dunder2004 Graduate in reply to Juliejam]

I really did!

She is currently studying for her doctorate in the US. That was all me that was

Oh yes, the apple doesnt fall far from the tree , Dunder

That is such a lovely pressie from your daughter, how thoughtful of her xxx

Oooh a thing of beauty indeed. You have two wrists! What's your problem!

Happy birthday by the way!

[Dunder2004 Graduate in reply to misswobble]

Funnily enough, I must just try that! The biggest complaint people seem to have about the Nike is that it registers greater distances than what is actually covered. My thought is to take both out on my regular walk for a head to head comparison then we will see what's what.

Thanks for the b'day wishes.

Happy Birthday looks fab

Happy birthday! Nice dilemma.

[EthelWombat]

Happy birthday! X

[Dunder2004 Graduate]

Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes. For all sorts of reasons, 54 feels so much better than 53!

[Steve_L Graduate]

Happy birthday, youngster! I'd hate to see you disappear from my garmin friends.

[Dunder2004 Graduate in reply to Steve_L]

Ahh, I didn't think about that but I am sure their is a way on syncing both platforms.

WHAT A NICE PRESSIE! Hope you had a great birthday!

[Sarah-A Graduate]

Wow! That looks sleek. Does it connect with your trainers too?

****Happy birthday!!****

I don't know if you would remember him, but Timmy mallet always wore 2 (or more) watches at once - so if its good enough for him......

Just kidding - he used to also wear a plaster on his chin- don't do that! Ha ha

[Dunder2004 Graduate in reply to Sarah-A]

It does connect with your running shoes or at least with a foot pod but I don't really see much value in using one of those.

I, sadly, do remember Timmy Mallett but don't recall the multiple watch thing.

[IndieWaif Graduate in reply to Dunder2004]

You might find that it registers more accurate distances if you use it in conjunction with the "foot pod"

[Dunder2004 Graduate in reply to IndieWaif]

I see. We'll see what happens on my head to head tests on Sunday first.

Thanks for that.

[PrincessStef Graduate]

Happy Birthday. It looks great and so thoughtful. I use my Garmin and Strava so I think you should just use both. Happy Running

[Hidden]

Ah Happy Birthday! I *almost* got one of these. But after trying it on I decided against it. (I have tiny, weeny wrists!). I use the Nike+ app though and I love it

Enjoy your ace pressie! x

[old_git Graduate]

Happy birthday Dunder, I got running socks for mine!! Let us know how you get on with the new timepiece.

[Dunder2004 Graduate]

Thanks and will do.
