But you don't really need the multi sport version if all you're going to be doing is running you can save some money and get the runner version.

Yes, the running feature works well for walking and hiking. If you're also a runner, however, then walks will really pull down the average speed in your history. You can work around this by creating custom spreadsheets and downloading the data off the watch, but there is not a separate "walk" feature on the watch.

Absolutely...click the function button to the right twice...wait till satellite is acquired and commence with your walk.

Yes you can use it while walking if you wish to know the distance you walked, you would just need to set the watch to running mode

Dear Jamell: If you are just interested in walking you might want to buy the one less professional GPS watch. This one does run/bicycle/swim settings. You can, however, definitely use it for walking. It shows your pace, your distance, the duration, your heart rate, your average speed. I really like it!

The watch works on a satellite signal. Depending on trails, I would say if you don't get cell phone reception this will not have a signal either which might be cumbersome.

I do not use the watch feature. I find it hard enough just to use the odometer. I'm not very happy with the product.

I have had my jawbone in my pocket all day and it has kept the same steps as my fitbit. So I guess you can wear it somewhere other then your wrist.

I haven't used it much, but yes the watch needs to be within a certain distance of your cell since it's connected with the Bluetooth

I use the watch for walking & find it a great watch for that. As far as water the most has been when washing dishes. I feel it does what it says it does.

Yes Sharon, it is also a digital watch. It is very lightweight and I don't even realize I'm wearing it when I swing. Not very stylish for wear on the street however.

The face of the watch is rather large and curved for a wrist so I don't think it will work comfortably on an ankle. IF you are using it for your heart rate it won't work nearly as well since you will need to press and hold the button and trying to do that on your foot while moving is difficult. Step counts are based on swing movement but it is accurate enough on the wrist, no need to wear it on your ankle.

Sorry, I cannot tell. Walking is not a listed activity in the menu. But I am a slow runner, 10 minute mile and it tracks it find and I would go even slower. But I never tried to only walk.

There is no reason why you could not. You can turn off the GPS and run as stand alone heart rate monitor. The tread mill should give your distance/pace, ect and you would than manually enter that info in to your Runtastic activity profile with the "manual edit" feature online once you had synced the watch and uploaded that specific activity.

No, but you can wash your hands while wearing it. It is as water resistant as any watch.

When you tap the watch face it can be used as a fifth button. You might be switching screens by doing this when you are using. You would have to check the settings in the MapMyRun app. Otherwise it might be a bug in the app. I would suggest trying Wahoo Fitness app with this watch. They offer the most customization for the watch and you can upload the data from them to a lot of other apps as well.

if you are wearing jogging pants or some loose fitting pants. but i never put mine anywhere but on my wrist as i have heart monitor that goes with it.i only wear mine when i walk or sleep. as i bought the top of the line one with all the bells and whistles.

yes as far as i know. i use the golf edition to monitor my heart rate with the optional chest strap. so whether you walk run use a stairstep machine then you should have no problem

Yes, but you can not talk, take a picture and the touch screen is hardly work. In short, it is a far from its discription in amazon website. Actually I regretted that I wasted more than $70 in watch that does not worth even $5.

You can not, the watch is just an extension of the phone screen. It will allow you to receive a message without taking out your phone and disrupting activities.

No. You have to manually change the time. Still a great watch though, if you are looking for an altimeter/pressure sensor.
