Thanks for the great review. I was happy to stumble across the link to this on a Nike + review site. My wife has been using the Nike + for about a month now and has had mixed results. It seems to pause workouts frequently during her runs which can be very frustrating and throw off the data significantly. I used the Timex gps system (forget what it was called) for a couple years while training for and running marathons. One of the problems with that system was that it dropped all data when running through wooded areas. This Adeo offering seems like a perfect fit for my needs. I also like the fact that it isn't dependent on an outside website to view data. If you don't have an internet connection or the website goes down, you can still manage your data! Love the shoe tracker too!!

Great review.

Would you know if this product is ready to use in the UK?

I have been running with the Nike+ kit for a couple of weeks now with pleasing results, but found the Nike+ kit lacking features I require that the Adeo boast as standard. This product would far better suit my needs as *mentioned by Kathy* I live and train on trails already at altitude. When I send feedback to Nikeplus.com, the low down shows, what is actually up hill, as a downward stroke? Obviously due to my pace slowing down on the steep climbs.

This product with the GPS receiver and what seems to be a really detailed analysis would be a perfect companion for me.

Hopefully the Adeo will be available to the UK market? My money is already laid on the table.

Greg, I've had a Garmin Forerunner for several years and it served it's purpose. Perhaps the newer Garmin devices integrate with Google Maps, but I know that with my old one, you had to extract the XML data from the device and mash it up with maps. Additionally, this device provides real-time audio feedback over the music you listen to during your workout.

How is this any better than the ForeRunner series from Garmin? The Garmin devices are much smaller, and they provide the same tracking ability plus a map and stopwatch.

Thanks so much for this detailed review! I was about to buy the Nike kit *today* (I already have a nano), but now I’m going to consider this instead. What bothered me the most about the Nike kit is that it doesn’t appear to have support for laps. Perhaps there’s a way to get around that, but simply making each lap a separate run doesn’t seem right either.

So, you got my attention on the lap splits. But elevation also matters to me–I’m already at 5,000 feet, so every little bit counts.

And no, it wasn’t TMI to mention your sveltness ; ) I’m *small* and forever having to hack belts to work with a smaller size, so I’m glad you mentioned this.

I’m going to look into this one today. Again, thanks for this very in-depth review.
