  1. Pebble and cheap bluetooth headphones on Ask Slashdot: Smart Electronics For a Marathoner? · · Score: 1

    I have a first generation Pebble that works fantastic for running, as a controller/display screen for Runkeeper on my android phone. It's waterproof, easy to read in the sun and real buttons (pause Runkeeper) work much better than touchscreen. Battery lasts around a week. Have tried expensive headphones and cheap earbuds, find that bluetooth headphones (my pair say arctic, but there are lots of look alikes on Amazon) are easy to slide off if I need to, fairly reliable and have buttons to control the music. I prefer headphones to earbuds, I think I hear more around me. Also generally run facing traffic or on sidewalks, so no close calls with vehicles. Battery on the headphones lasts multiple runs. My only issue was during a run in DC, where we were under a highway for a significant distance and no GPS signal was available. But that would be an issue with any GPS based setup.
