Well I need some advice regarding heart rate monitors. My running buddies all have Garmins but they all say it is very difficult to use. My best running buddy is even a techy with a master degree in computer science, and she said it is very complicated. I think they have this model:
I myself, am addicted to the Nike GPS app on my IPhone. However, it doesn't have a heart rate monitor. So I picked up one from Costco, a New Balance, a very basic one. It works good, was easy for me to set up so while I run, my Nike app is mapping my route, keeping track of my pace, miles and time, and my New Balance $39.00 watch is keeping track of my heart rate. However, I would love to have it all in one place while still using my Nike GPS. Question - does Nike offer that accessory for my IPhone? If anyone knows, please let me know.
In the meantime, I have been considering buying a Garmin. Not the deluxe one shown above, but this one:
Because, it says, it's easy to use right out of the box. I could use it while using my Nike App. What do you think? Should I splurge and spend the $200 bucks for this model and ditch my NB watch? I want to integrate all my feedback from my runs. Does it cost money to upload your feedback to Garmin?
If anyone has any feedback - I would love to hear what your thoughts are regarding the Garmin. I also have the Digit Fit system - but I use that on my Spinning bike. I'm really stuck on the Nike Running app and love to see how my miles add up each month, week, day, etc.
Help! Please - any thoughts on this stuff? Take care - and have a great Tuesday!
