Hello, looking for a bit of input here, I do a bit of running now and I’m enjoying it but, I guess like many people, I’ve been looking for a way to use runkeeeper and listen to music without taking my phone out.
I picked up a Sony SmartWatch 3 as it had built in GPS but found the GPS signal so flaky and unreliable I had to return it. I only used the watch for running so I would have to turn it on 20 minutes before I left to get a GPS lock (Runkeeper doesn’t display signal on the watch so I would have to use endomondo which did just to see if it was active!), then as soon as I set off the GPS would drop and not come back on until about ten minutes into my run.
It was clunky and fussy and I got fed up so sent it back however I still love the idea. I’m wondering about the Moto 360 Sport now as that has GPS but not sure if it will be just as good/bad as the Sony. Or should I be looking for a non android wear device? I’ve considered an apple watch but the thought of having to curate a playlist on iTunes fills me with dread!
Anyone have any experience with this they can share that might help?
