hey is the battery life good? Or does it die quickly? And do you need the shoe sensor thing or whatever or can you run without it?

[ZuluMonk]

@MustardKetchupMayo The battery life will depend on how frequently you use the GPS feature. You don't necessarily need shoe sensor, since the device can be used just GPS.

Do you need a special Nike Shoe to use the Nike Shoe Sensor?

[ZuluMonk]

@mrbing70 No, you can purchases pouches for shoes that aren't Nike+ compatible.

Can you only have 2 pieces of info on the screen at once? eg time ellapsed and distance ran?

I like to be able to see time ellapsed, distance ran and mins per mile at least. Would this not be possible? Thanks

[ZuluMonk]

@benhughes13 Yes. Nike only allows you to display two pieces of information a time on the watch.

Hey man, nice review. I have some questions, Can I use the watch only as a watch, just to see the time and else (how much the battery will go on like that)? and ... If I turn on the GPS, do I need to have a 3G phone to connect to or the GPS will work only on some areas(like if you're not in a big city) ?

thanks in advance!!

Is it water proof?

@CookieMonster1287 oh well my ipod with Nike Plus does so it would be fine for me! lol 

[CookieMonster1287]

@holycowitschris the fuel band doesnt track runs

[holycowitschris]

Wish this watch wasn't so damn much money!. 200 for a sportswatch is kinda spendy, I may wait to see if the Fuel Band get's any good reviews. Thanks for reviewing it man!.
