there really isn't a perfect solution for running/jogging/etc... so far as players go...at least for me. I don't want to carry a phone to go running.
My "good enough" solution was to buy a sansa clip, install rockbox, and just use that. It's only possible because I don't care about having a huge variety of music to listen to while running, so I can just outright purchase the tracks/albums I want, load them up, and enjoy running with music and basically no extra weight.
- frio 9y agoThis is a space the watches are trying to fill. The Apple Watch has (from memory) 8GB of memory, can pair directly with a set of earphones, and plays music without the phone. Combined with the GPS and heart sensor, it's a pretty complete story. I doubt the price of entry is really worth it, but yeah, I hated running with my phone last year and this seems better.
