I want to get my boyfriend a watch that measures the distance he runs for our 2 year anniversary. What would you reccomend?
Cant be too expensive, im 16.
He runs varsity cross country but lost his a while ago, and i know he'd love a new one.
Answer
It sounds like you want to get him a GPS watch.
An alternative to that is the Nike Sport band which is only $60. it uses a sensor you attach to your shoe laces or put in a nike + shoe. Not as accurate as a GPS watch but they look cool, plus they get you onto the Nike + site.
The cheapest GPS watch I know of it the Timex Marathon. It's about 100 bucks and not really that great a watch. And I'm thinking $100 is probably out of your price range, anyway.
As an alternative, you might get him an ipod shuffle.
A similiar idea is that a lot of runners need a watch with an interval timer. The Casio Men's W756-1AV Digital Sport Watch is only about $20 but is a great watch for the money.

Does it matter if I buy men's or women's Nike running shoes?

I want to get Nike + shoes (the ones you use with the iPod connector/sensor) for Christmas, but it seems that I like a lot of the colors in the men's section rather than women's.
If I'm buying, let's say, Zoom Jasaris, what's the difference between the men's & women's?? Aside from the size/color? Is the shape/fit/comfort exactly the same?
Answer
You really need to try them on first.
The fit will be very different. A men's D (standard) width is NOT the same as a women's.
And I know you really might want the Nike product for the iPod functionality, but most runners would agree that Nike makes fairly dismal running shoes.
Go to a running shoe store, and let them measure you and watch you run. Base your decision on your feet.
