I just recently got a Nike GPS watch and I wear it everywhere on go. The other cross country guys at my school don't wear their Nike GPS watches outside of practice.


Answer
It's not normal to wear most GPS watches when not running. The battery life is limited, and I believe the Nike GPS get only about 8 hours of run time (when GPS is on) before they need to be recharged. If you wear it around normally, even in standby mode, there are high odds you're going to run out of battery life when you need it to actually run. Yes, most people would wear a normal watch outside of training.

difference between the nike gps watch with & without sensor?

I am looking to get a nike gps watch and don't have a ton of money. I saw that without the sensor you can purchase one for $20 less, but is it actually worth the extra money to buy it with the sensor?


Answer
I own both. If you're running exclusively outside then just the GPS is generally fine (here in the UK anyway), if you're going to run on a treadmill you'll need the sensor.

Depends what your GPS signal is like over there :)
