Are the Nike+ Apple Watches actually good for runners? 

Asics Kingfisher Top from Zalando  When the apple watch first came out, I saw it adorning many wrists, especially within the tech and fashion worlds. I'm in neither, so thought nothing of it. Until Nike partnered with Apple to bring out the Apple Watch Nike+. Running...
