May 16, 2015 2:08 PM in response to runnerover50by Jayzee19,★HelpfulRunning outside with the workout app is simple and good. It doesn't give you detailed data like other running apps, but for casual running, it's perfect. I ran with the phone and watch for 35 minutes with Workout and it consumed about 13% battery life. I stll get about 20 hrs of daily use, even with 35 minute runs.
After about 3 runs with phone and watch, I ran a 5k with the Watch without the phone and the watch was spot on with my distance. I didn't have a problem with the brightness of the screen in the sunlight. I listen to music usually during runs and it was nice swapping back between the Workout app and the Pandora app using the double click of the digital crown.

Thanks, Doug
