Agree with TicTock, I would love to see an Android Wear ROM for my Ticwatch 2. The hardware is amazing, but the software will never be as good as AW in the US.

I used my watch to track a trail run this weekend. The map is perfect, and so is the time. But the distance is really off. Instead of 4 miles in an hour, it says I went 12. Is this part of the fix being worked on for the next update?

I tracked a run on Saturday, using both the T2 Fitnesss app and Nike+ Run Club on my Android phone. The T2 logged about a mile and a half extra distance (6.7 miles in Nike+, 8.25 miles in T2).
