Nike Run Club lets runners track specific running data such as location, pace, distance, elevation, heart rate, and more. You can compete against fellow runners while receiving personal coaching from your Nike Coach to help you with your progress each day.
You can do all these on your smartphone, but if you’re looking for more versatility and portability, a smartwatch comes to the rescue. To pair the Nike Run Club app with your watch, you must know whether your watch is compatible with Nike Run Club.
However, each watch brand connects to the Nike Run Club app differently. Some watches support a standalone app while others use Nike Run Club’s official app to connect.
This guide contains a list of all watch brands that are compatible with the Nike Run Club out of the box, along with a walkthrough on how to set it up.
