Gear S2- Running, walking, fitness?

[ronpfid]

Anyone use the S2 as a running watch?
Looks like it's supposed to work with NikeRun, and it's supposed to count daily steps/activity etc.
Curious how well it does?

Thanks!

Moved to the Gear S2 forum.

How accurate is it on runs? What data do you get? Do you use s health for it?

I have used Nike+ several times but haven't figured out how to get it to work accurately yet.
Often the total mileage is accurate but each mile is way off. Here's one great thing though. I did a five mile run and paused Nike+ at a light, but forgot to turn it back on for a mile. I found out later that S Health automatically recorded the run as well so even though Nike+ doesn't have the miles, S Health does!

Cool, so S-Health does record your runs then?
Does the S2 keep track of steps during the day too, like a dedicated fitness watch?

Yes, there is a built-in pedometer. I've only had the S2 Classic for one day, but if it's like my Gear 2 Neo, it should automatically record your steps, and reset to zero every day.

OK, cool, thanks!
