The big numbers and three-button interface let you check training data without breaking stride. Stuck on the treadmill? The included foot pod works indoors and is almost as accurate as the GPS. It all means you can focus on running. Yet the simplicity belies a high IQ.

For most runners, the Nike+ SportWatch GPS is a great and simple way to track your workouts. We wish it cost slightly less, but you're also getting the shoe sensor as part of the deal ... That said, serious runners or triathletes might find the SportWatch a little too simple ...

The Nike+ SportWatch GPS builds all of Nike's popular running software into a watch with TomTom GPS technology inside, allowing you to track and monitor your workouts from your wrist. But many runners will be better off with an iPod and a Nike+ Sport Kit, which provide much of the same functionality...

At $199 the SportWatch is a little pricey but I would agree that you’re getting what you pay for. Again, I’m no longer a huge fan of the whole “all-in-one” sports watch system but this one performs quite admirably and is amazingly easy to use.

The price is a little on the high side, as you can find rival devices for quite a bit less, but the overall design, the simplicity and the experience make us think it is a price worth paying.

A simple yet effective sport watch which tracks your time, pace and route easier than models twice the price. While not flawless in its performance, it's a reliable piece of sport kit for runners of all abilities.

The Nike+ SportWatch is a single-minded device that does what it does very well, but won’t get much use when it’s not collecting sweat.
