thanks, this works quite well

Thanks I'll check it out. I hear the heart rate monitor on that watch is not very accurate. But perhaps I'm asking for too much in regards to heart rate and smartwatches.

So I tested it with s-health. I ran for 15 minutes and the Gear S2 registered 1.56 miles and the Garmin registered 1.59 miles. Pretty good. I should mention I ran in an open field with multiple visible cell towers. The music played off of my watch with zero skipping or interruption. I did...

seems possible. I'll try without nike tomorrow

please delete

as far as I can tell, heart rate never registered. I tried manually once and it failed. It didn't take any random measurements during that time. Maybe Nike+ was overriding it?

Thanks. I am only going to be running with the watch though. Is that what you did? I will do a manual start tomorrow on S health

As a follow-up, S health actually registered 56 minutes of my 1 hour run. It says I ran 6.69 miles in 56 minutes. Compared to 60 minutes and 7.54 miles, the disparity is a bit alarming. I ran at an 8 minute pace, so if it did track the final 4 minutes it would indicate 7.21 miles. However...

I'll try it again. Thus far it is incapable of measuring a complete workout, so the Gear 2 already has the advantage.

The facts: 1. I ran 7.5 miles in 1 hour in a medium-sized American City 2. I used the Nike+ App 3. I played music stored on Gear S2 and used milk 4. I did not bring my phone 5. I brought a Garmin 305 for distance accuracy comparison Bottom line: In my opinion, this thing is not a good running...

guess I'll be taking it off in the shower lol. I am taking it running in the morning. If it's raining and it get's damaged I'll report back.

I saw the video on youtube where the guy kept the non-3G in a fish tank for 30 minutes. Curious if the 3G model with the speaker vents would not survive the submersion ?

arrived. It's great so far. Not too thick at all...not sure where that complaint comes from

I get up at 430 too and go at full speed until 8PM. Hmm...hope it lasts

perfect. good news and thanks for the update. Mine comes today and hopefully my small wrists will agree with you.
